...mainstream press could pounce on it with cavalier ignorance and captious contempt. A review of the British drama Victim, about a barrister fighting the law that made homosexuality a criminal offense, took offense at the movie's "implicit approval of homosexuality as a practice ... Nowhere does the film suggest that homosexuality is a serious (but often curable) neurosis that attacks the biological basis of life itself. 'I can't help the way I am,' says one of the sodomites in this movie. 'Nature played me a dirty trick.' And the scriptwriters, whose psychiatric information is clearly coeval with the statute...
Overall, cancer death rates have been dropping since the early 1990s - the most recent data suggest that death rates have decreased for 10 of the 15 most common causes of cancer death in the U.S. - in large part as a result of earlier screening and better treatments. But this year's Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer marks the first concurrent decline in incidence, or the rate of new cancer diagnoses. For both American men and women, the incidence of all cancers combined decreased 0.8% per year from 1999 through 2005. That overall decline was largely...
...emerged with sufficient palanca, or leverage, to again seek a constitutional amendment that would allow him to be re-elected indefinitely, without risking a dangerous national uproar.

Might I suggest experimental electronic band The Fireman’s latest release, “Electric Arguments?” Because here’s the thing: no matter how dismal the outlook might be, trust me, this CD will make you feel better about yourself. In fact I’ll give...
...aren’t feeling retro enough with the stock markets of 2008 being at roughly the same value as those of 1998, then I’d suggest looking to the high seas ,where this year seems more like 1708. Two days ago, pirates seized a Hong Kong-registered cargo ship, the Delight, in the Gulf of Aden. According the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), the Delight, which is now bearing toward Somalia, joins 17 other ships currently being held by pirates. This week has been particularly successful for piracy: Last weekend buccaneers captured a Japanese-operated chemical...
