...think they (politicians) can focus more on youth-oriented media. Instead of going through the routes of CNN or C-SPAN, they could have debates on David Letterman," said Hannah Choi '01, the chair of the Student Advocacy Committee...
...done in a courtroom. Of course, civil-rights advocates will howl at the appearance of double jeopardy, and question the fairness of giving the prosecution a second chance in a setting whose evidentiary standards are not those of a courtroom. And even before that to the media, once again - CNN led Tuesday with a summary of the evidence Freeh will present. But given the furor following Lee's release, the FBI will no doubt defend itself on the grounds that it feels compelled to explain its behavior - in other words, it's not vindictively painting the scientist as shifty about...
Perhaps. But absent a remarkable change in human nature, it seems unlikely the American multitudes, more concerned with "Survivor" and stock options than with the details of Al Gore's prescription drug plan, will suddenly bestir themselves, flip on CNN, and catch up on all the politics they have missed during our comfortable, decade-long Gilded Age.

And hip-hop has never stopped bearing witness. Listen, for example, to Nelly's album very closely. I have been to St. Louis several times, but his album gives the close listener, via the lyrics and the accents and the attitudes, an inside look at Black working-class St. Louis. If that is not bearing witness, I don't know what bearing witness...
