...speak up to quell rumors?Yeah I guess so but I don't really have any bad rumors or anything. I answer questions. I'm very open with the media - when they ask me if there's something going on, I tell them. "No comment" is very seldom. I try my best to stay out of other people's stuff.

...Alcohol policies on college campus seldom prove popular among the student populations. Following repeated incidents of dangerous binge drinking and routine hospitalization for alcohol-related concerns, college administrators rightly increase their concern for the well-being of their charges. But as recent events at Harvard have proven, deans prefer to impose liability-proof safeguards—tedious paperwork for registering parties, imperious oversight by entryway proctors, and severely curtailed access to alcohol in general—rather than opt for the more arduous but perhaps more far-seeing approach of encouraging a culture of personal responsibility and maturity.

Churches celebrate the blessing of the animals on the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, and then largely ignore animal ethics for the rest of the year...
Dark Suits, Buttoned Up Give or take the odd photo opportunity, such as a recent kickabout with French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Arsenal soccer stadium in London, Brown's lighter side is seldom on display when he meets foreign leaders. "Tony Blair and President Sarkozy are personal friends," says an adviser to the French President. "Sarkozy's relationship with Brown is as warm and positive as it was with Blair in terms of foreign policy and European issues, but it lacks the personal friendship." Brown's joint press conference with Bush at Camp David last July was a study...
