...growth of over 8% and so many opportunities that every month another friend of mine seems to join the "brain gain" of those quitting jobs in New York and London to return home. Few stories are written about the dynamic youth culture expressing itself on our new television and radio stations, or through underground events like the massive rave that took place in Lahore last month.

Armies too are being mobilized. Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, a powerful conservative group based in Washington, plans to recruit Christian activists for the fight through his daily radio talk show, his weekly TV program and a massive database of followers.

Many listeners were worried that expanded in-state rates would not only suck up taxpayer dollars but would also make it harder for their kids to get into top state schools like...
...profit groups cannot even mention the name of a candidate for office within the area where the candidate is running. For instance, if McCain seeks the White House in 2008, then the American Civil Liberties Union, which opposes the ad restriction, would not be able to run a radio spot criticizing the McCain-Feingold law by name in the month before each state’s presidential primary...
