...Soon Tracy is the most popular gal on the dance floor. Wait a minute, Amber thinks, that's my job, and squalls, with a lovely petulance, "Everybody, stop liking her!" But everybody can't stop. Link, the divoonest guy in town, feels a strange urge to be with the fat girl. Even Edna is impressed by Tracy's new radiance: "If I'd known you were gonna get on the show, I never woulda said don't do it." Tracy also gets endorsements.

...will they keep him from having sex? The images form the backbone of Worth the Wait, a sex-education curriculum taught at Seth's school, Caldwell Middle School in Caldwell, Texas, and in 31 districts across the state.

Not only do they train health educators from participating schools, but either a doctor or medical student also gives a guest lecture to students during the semester. If at any point during the program those students say they won't be abstaining until wedlock, they are promptly referred to a medical...
...ever warm to each other? "Our elites still have the mentality of colonists," Lula told TIME. "Latin America has to quit treating the U.S. as an empire." In the interview, the PT candidate made it clear that, if he's elected, George W. Bush may have to wait beyond the current 2005 deadline to achieve a hemisphere-wide free-trade pact - especially since, as he notes, Bush preaches free trade to Brazil yet still maintains high tariffs against Brazil's most competitive products, steel and frozen orange juice.
