Indonesian schoolchildren recite at the end of their prayers to Allah, "two children are enough / Good for family planning body and soul / It's good for you, body and soul / It'll keep you well preserved." Women once doomed to uncontrolled fertility are now coerced into contraception. The explosion of reproductive technologies in the modern age, such as sperm banks and test tube babies, is a mixed blessing at best for women, changing perhaps the means but not necessarily the forces of (re)production...
...Vatican, Pope John Paul II asked an audience of thousands to pray for the American astronauts. He said that the tragedy had "provoked deep sorrow in my soul." In Buenos Aires, Cartoonist Dobal used his space in the Clarin to write, "I can't give you a joke because, dear reader, all my space is filled with infinite pain." Japan's public TV extended its popular 45- minute evening news program to an hour and devoted it all to the space accident. The Jerusalem Post noted editorially that "Americans take their risks in front of grandstands and television cameras...

But Stokowski's personality was much different from Ormandy's, and it is natural that with the change of the conductor, the orchestra, having another experience, will also change. When I took the orchestra, my purpose was not to destroy the past but to continue...
...America is much, much sicker...than I realized when I first began working in 1955," said Dr. King. There are polyps of racism in the soul of America as surely as there are polyps of cancer in the colon of the president. It is not Dr. King's birthday we should observe, but his assassination. It's not how far we've progressed that should be measured but how far back we've been set. Over one-half of Blacks think Reagan is a racist. We want a color-blind society, says Reagan. Color-blind, maybe. But like any creature...
