...first U.S. court decision to reject en masse traffic violations caught on camera, the ruling by Judge Ronald Styn has fueled debate over the growing use of the devices. Police departments swear, and studies indicate, that the robocams deter people from speeding and running red lights. A Lou Harris poll set for release this week finds that 69% of Americans support their use. Yet at least seven states have blocked proposals to implement them, and opponents--ranging from House majority leader Dick Armey to the American Civil Liberties Union--argue that the cameras violate privacy and place profit above public...
...same time as Andre. So Andre's gone and Gustafo's gone, and there's only Pete and this kid from Australia named Leigh-something. At least boring is just boring, but I think this kid is bad news. He gets into a fight early on, and I swear he called another guy names - like racial names. First he said he didn't do it, when of course everyone heard him do it, and then he said that's just the way we are in Australia, which of course is worse.

In the lakefront city of Hangzhou in eastern China, grammar-school students recently attended a lecture by their principal on the evils of the group. Afterward, students took turns facing their classmates to swear: "I do not believe in Falun Gong. I believe in science." Eight-year-old Yu Xiaohong stunned his teachers by striding forward and declaring, "I do not believe in Falun Gong. I believe in Jesus." The teachers, uneasy with any open expression of religious faith, called his parents...
...mail was from a woman I knew decades ago, back when we were spooning teenagers. We had corresponded electronically maybe three times since then, I swear. The subject line on this latest missive was "Homepage." The message read, simply: "Hi! You've got to see this page! It's really cool." It was signed with a goofy emoticon, a winking, sideways smiling face--;0). "Ho, ho! You sly thing!" I thought, recalling the feverish summer of '70...and clicked on the attached file. Pause...
