...went on to volunteer that he had never had an affair. "To say anything else would have raised a firestorm," explains McSlarrow. Some Republicans are experimenting with what was called in the Watergate era the "modified limited hangout"--an answer that seems forthright, even embarrassing, but stops well short of the bald truth. Earlier this month McCain was questioned by CNN anchor Bernard Shaw, who noted the affair that McCain has already acknowledged during his first marriage, then asked whether a politician's private acts "should be part of public discourse." After again admitting he was "responsible for the breakup...
...gave adoptees--except those who were the product of rape or incest--access to their birth certificate while also allowing biological mothers to tell the state they never want contact with their kids. As in Oregon, birth mothers have sued to overturn that law, saying they were promised nothing short of lifelong confidentiality (and wondering why, if adoptees can be prevented from contacting their mothers, they would have any use for the name alone).

The article made it sound as if their fans are all under 15 and the groups would be around just a short time because they aren't really that good. I don't know about the other singers, but the Backstreet Boys have lasted for almost seven years, and they're doing better than ever. They have fans of all ages, not just little kids. SHANNON KARNER, age 15 Summerland...
