...abstinence-based curriculums are on the market; one of the largest, Sex Respect, is used in about 2,000 schools around the country. What Sex Respect does not include is standard information about birth control, which prompts some critics to charge that purely abstinence-based programs are inadequate. Michael Carrera, who eight years ago founded a highly successful % teen-pregnancy-prevent ion program in Harlem, deplores the "ungenerous, unforgiving" nature of some abstinence programs.

A Trabi graced the centerfold of Autobild's "Best Autos of 1989" edition. The Frankfurter Allgemeine-Zeitung even compared the Trabant with the Porsche Carrera.

At the moment, however, the Miata is so popular that some dealers...
...about 225 kids and 75 parents are participating in Carrera's three Harlem-based programs. Carrera's track record is impressive. In four years only two girls have become pregnant and, as far as the counselors can tell from their intimate weekly individual discussions with the kids, only one boy has fathered a child. "This is not a value-free program," he explains. "We have a message that delaying sexual activity is good. We are taking a stand." This year the Childrens Aid Society is establishing the Stern National Training Center for Family Life Education in Manhattan, where Carrera will...
