...teachers and 77 percent of principals say that their teaching decisions are influenced by their fear of litigation. “[Recess is a] time when accidents can happen,” told an Attleboro school principal to the Boston Globe in defense of her decision to ban tag and touch football. That much is obvious—the point, of course, is that accidents should be treated as such, and not as excuses to exploit well-intentioned schools to the full extent of the law. Yet, the problem cannot be blamed on unreasonable parents alone. The Adrian and Warren...
...been in the Senate since he was elected 35 years ago at age 29, is sitting in the fluorescent-lit community center in Grundy Center, Iowa, facing 18 senior citizens, when his tiny wooden chair snaps in two. "Ruth," he says, standing up and looking at the first name tag in front of him, "this is a dangerous job, running for President." In a time of war, Biden is the candidate with the most foreign policy experience. He was talked up as a possible front runner when he ran for the 1988 Democratic nomination.

Jay FC, one of the founders of the Hong Kong-based graffiti collective ST/ART, maintains that the cost is contrary to the spirit of street art. "It's supposed to just be something that anyone can pick up and do," he says...
...Roth and Powderly must be content with loaning and donating L.A.S.E.R. Tag equipment, and they are finding a particularly enthusiastic reception in Asia. "Technology has a very different meaning in China, in Korea," says Marc Schiller of popular street-art website Wooster Collective. Schiller sees L.A.S.E.R. Tag as standing in the tradition of such pioneering new-media artists as the late Korean-born Nam June Paik. "[In Asia] it's not thought of as incompatible or separate from art," he says...
