...cynic might respond that the world has quite enough morality already, and would be better off without the likes of Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama, political dissident Harry Wu, Alan Keyes '72 and representatives Christopher H. Smith and J.C. Watts advocating positions that may limit our "rights" of privacy and choice.

...Wu decided to become an undercover agent after he got a tip that Wang had approached a dialysis center in New York City with an offer to provide its clients with human kidneys at a steep discount. Wang reportedly told doctors that he could, for a 25% fee, arrange for patients to receive a kidney transplant in China without what is often a two-year wait.

Fu also guaranteed that any lungs would come from nonsmokers. After haggling a bit over the price...

O.D.B. and several members of his posse rushed to the rescue and helped lift the car off her body; he later visited her while she was recovering in the hospital. Then, at Wednesday's otherwise boring Grammy awards, O.D.B., who had lost an award to Sean ("Puffy") Combs, tried to add some excitement by rushing to the stage, grabbing the mike...
