...This really marks the beginning of six-month process where we'll do some serious planning," said Kathleen G. Traphagen, director of Boston's 2:00-to-6:00 After-School Initiative, which will coordinate the city's efforts. "The city will be a part of the process, and so will Harvard and the partners...
...places like Kosovo they are sure to give their women "contracts," written in English for the benefit of English-speaking U.N. police. Traumatized and deeply humiliated by their ordeal, most women fail to testify even when given the chance. One-third of the women "rescued" in Kosovo in a six-month period last year refused to incriminate their captors. Twice peacekeepers have raided a railside nightclub in the south central town of Ferizai, and twice they came up empty-handed after the girls failed to incriminate the owner, even though purplish cigarette burns were plainly visible along their upper arms...
...more than 3.2 billion bbl. of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America's energy problems.

"If we have to have a first big battle, this is a good one to have," says Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club...
TUNING OUT Aggressive behavior can actually be "unlearned," a Stanford University study finds, if children limit their use of TV, videos and electronic games. After a six-month experiment, researchers report that children who reduced their TV time to seven hours a week and stuck to less-violent videos and games were half as likely as their peers to engage in bellicose playground behavior like taunting and teasing. The most combative kids at the start of the study showed the most behavioral improvement...
