...Just Fine?" No, Mr. Gore doesn't have that hot button policy which provokes a self-conscious grouping--of course, the real pros in now-departed classes almost certainly could have invented a clever rationale with an alacrity which defied Mr. Gore's apparent inoffensiveness, and brought a slew of letters, banners, and other accoutrements to bear soon after. After all, these were the same stalwarts who found problems with Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Prime Minister of Norway; lesser minds would have passed over that name with a yawn, but the past masters came up with an issue for each...

Louisiana is mandating politeness by requiring students to address teachers as "Sir" or "Ma'am." Utah teens are barred from driving between midnight and 5 a.m. To stop South Dakota children from smoking, the police can now fine them. And parents in Indiana and Tennessee must preapprove all body piercing...

At least four sites invite you to identify a nonprofit organization or school you'd like to help. When you purchase something online from a participating merchant--eToys, Amazon and a slew of other big vendors are involved--a small percentage (2% to 12%) of the sale ends up in that charity's coffers.
