...survey of 4,000 U.S. adults from the Pew Forum shows that even Americans who don't live in interfaith households are curious about other religious traditions. One-quarter of all adults attend services of a faith tradition other than their own at least occasionally throughout the year (not counting special events like weddings and funerals). Social scientists and observers have known for decades that Americans generally have much higher levels of religiosity than their European cousins. But these new findings reveal that this distinctly American enthusiasm for religion includes an embrace of multiple faith practices and beliefs as well...
According to a survey from the Argyle Executive Forum made public Friday, Dec. 12, 76% of marketers are saying they would cancel, reduce or suspend their business relationship with Woods if he were currently their celebrity endorser. After news of Tiger's intentions broke, AT&T, the golfer's bag sponsor, said, "We are presently evaluating our ongoing relationship." Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Nike, which built its entire golf business around Woods and thus has the most to lose from his failings, is still sticking by him. "He and his family have Nike's full support," the company said...
...early big shows, however, did almost scuttle his career. As a way to bring African-American audiences into the museum, Hoving decided in 1967 to mount "Harlem on My Mind," a multimedia documentary survey of the history of Harlem, which opened two years later.

...being very careful about how he packages the new spending ideas, which could push the total stimulus price tag past the $1 trillion mark. For starters, he never used the word stimulus in his Dec. 8 speech to describe the new effort, perhaps because according to a Rasmussen survey, that's a concept that only one-third of Americans support. Nor did he say how much the new programs would cost. He gave few details of how they would be paid for, and he never explained when the plan would go into effect. As he has done in the past...
...devaluation of a college degree is no secret on campus. An annual survey by the Higher Education Research Institute has long asked freshmen what they think their highest academic degree will be. In 1972, 38% of respondents said a bachelor's degree, but in 2008 only 22% answered the same. The number of freshmen planning to get a master's degree rose from 31% in 1972 to 42% in 2008. Says John Pryor, the institute's director: "Years ago, the bachelor's degree was the key to getting better jobs. Now you really need more than that." (See TIME...
