...actual content, the pickings are still slim, but it's not hard to see Freenet's vast potential. Clarke scrolls down an index looking for items of interest and calls out what he finds. The Communist Manifesto. The U.S. Constitution. A document purporting to be a British Intelligence report on Libyan spying activities in Britain. A lot of files have names suggesting they're pornographic; a few seem to be child porn. There are files that appear to contain secret "OT" documents of the Church of Scientology. If they're real, they illustrate Freenet's power: the Scientologists have obtained...
...general, use options only in tandem with stocks in your portfolio--to lock in gains and protect against events like an earnings report or a court ruling. There are exceptions, like Grandma's bull-call spread. That's a fairly conservative play in which you buy one long-term call option and sell another at a higher strike price. You lock in most of the difference--though the stock must go up, and if it goes way up, you lose the excess gain. If you've got a big portfolio, odds are there is an options strategy for you. Talk...
...report on ecstasy was disappointing and potentially misleading. Ecstasy use is extremely risky for anyone's health.

After they read your report, I may have an even harder time doing that. The average teenage mind will see "e" as somewhat enticing and no big deal, because teens often feel immune to risky behavior. If I were a slightly bored 16-year-old girl who loved to dance and I was contemplating trying ecstasy, I would probably go for it. You made my uphill battle...
...mattresses studded with thumbtacks. And the violence seems to be trickling down from teenagers to tots. Last year in Dallas, a three-year-old boy was killed when his seven-year-old brother stiff-armed him in the throat, copying a move he'd seen on TV. Emergency rooms report a rise in injuries among backyard wrestlers. "It's scary," says Colleen Toth. "But my son does everything to make it safe. If he's going to do it, I'd rather it be in my backyard...
