...Xers struggle with ambiguous battles over affirmative action, where helping blacks and Hispanics arguably hurts Asians and whites. Xer activism is a chain Internet letter calling on friends to "Save Sesame Street" by E-mailing Congress about public-television funding. Or it is donating a few hours to transport meals to aids patients. Independent Sector, a Washington-based research group, found that 38% of 18-to-24-year-olds volunteered within the past year, along with more than half the 25-to-33-year-olds. Without a Vietnam War, the new generation is less polarized. "Young people today...
...Grobmyer's plan did not even get as far as other dubious proposals that landed at the White House last year: the rescue of a Chinese-American dissident from a Beijing jail (pushed by entrepreneur Johnny Chung, who gave $366,000 to the party) and the transport of natural gas across war-torn remnants of the Soviet Union (pushed by tycoon Roger Tamraz, who gave $200,000). But then again, in the strange case of the radioactive casks, no money landed in Democratic coffers...
...exhilarating rush that reinforces the desire to take drugs, at least in cocaine addicts. In all, 17 users participated in the study, says Volkow, and they experienced a high whose intensity was directly related to how extensively cocaine tied up available binding sites on the molecules that transport dopamine around the brain. To produce any high at all, she and her colleagues found, cocaine had to occupy at least 47% of these sites; the "best" results occurred when it took over 60% to 80% of the sites, effectively preventing the transporters from latching onto dopamine and spiriting...

"We didn't like the idea that Blair was hijacking the party by changing Clause IV," says John Cogger, president of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers. "It's our party, created by my union in 1899." It took two tries, but Blair finally won. Instantly, the man some thought of as smarmy and whom the press had nicknamed "Bambi" instead became known to his party opponents as Stalin. Today the prospect of victory mutes...
Bourne has become something of a specialist in inspired dance recensions. He has done The Nutcracker set in a workhouse so that Clara's transport to Sweetieland is more dramatic, and his La Sylphide (called Highland Fling) takes place in modern Glasgow. A new Cinderella debuts in London this fall. Bourne may be free with the classics, but never with the score. "I come to music as a fan," he says. "It's why I do these things." Perhaps that's also the reason that Cooper, who could have any dance job in the world, came to Bourne...
