...motifs. "Apparently, Anheuser-Busch has decided to associate itself and its brand with something that destroys family and degrades women," says Cathy Rose, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian think tank and lobbying group. "I think it's a questionable approach at the very least." She cites Focus on the Family studies that have found that 43% of families say pornography is a problem in their home. And while she acknowledges that the spot has some fun at the porn-consumer's expense (the last joke in the ad is about the porn-buyer...
Those 20,000 gallons, out of at least 11 million spilled, might not seem like much, and scientists initially assumed that whatever oil was left behind during the original cleanup would eventually break down naturally. But it turns out that crude oil - especially when it is spilled in a cold region like southeastern Alaska - lingers in the environment for years. And as long as the oil is there, it can harm the animals that might come into contact with it. Sea otters, for example - the face of the Valdez spill - dig millions of foraging pits in beaches around the Sound...
Depression is one of the dark demons of adolescence.

After all, SLAM has managed to alienate me, and I spent last summer working at a labor law firm whose head partner supports repealing the Reagan tax cuts...
...make our voices heard about the most critical issues Harvard faces, its future will be poorer. And so as irritating as a group like SLAM can be, the next time I read an overly shrill statement given in support of one of their campaigns, I’ll at least respect the fact that they’re expressing an opinion in an effort to make Harvard a better place. It’s their silent opponents who are doing Harvard the disservice...
