...scary that the U.S. is importing dangerous Chinese products for use by unknowing American consumers. It's even scarier that Georgetown professor Pietra Rivoli thinks that the importing companies should be responsible. That would be the same as putting Congress in charge of your bank account. It is the business of the Federal Government to protect its citizens from dangerous imports. Unfortunately, the current Federal Government will look the other way as citizens die from dangerous products if the Chinese government buys more American stuff. Does that sound like a good trade...
Infectious diseases are a scary thing, and even scarier is the prospect of exposing yourself to a potentially deadly disease simply by going on vacation. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control are still trying to track down some 80 passengers who may have been exposed to drug-resistant tuberculosis by a man flying on commercial flights to and from Europe earlier this month. So far, a handful of those travelers have contacted the CDC to undergo the first of two tests for the disease, and the patient himself was moved today to National Jewish Hospital in Denver, where...
...Each Scarier Than the Other Although I agreed with Rchard Corliss's "10 All-Time Best Movie Villains" [May 7], I thought Robert Mitchum was even scarier in The Night of the Hunter than in Cape Fear, or maybe it was just that Shelley Winters was such a perfect victim.

Rebecca Silverberg...
Just as schools were beginning to solve the gang problem, a scarier threat emerged: mass killings like the April 1999 massacre at Columbine High School near Littleton, Colo. Some teachers and principals began to see potential threats behind all kinds of behavior, provoking free-speech disputes that often landed in court. In 2000 a teacher at Northwest School in Leominster, Mass., kicked Michael Demers, 15, out of class for talking. Another teacher asked Demers how he felt about the ejection, and Demers drew two pictures: one of explosives surrounding the school and another of a gun pointed at the superintendent...
...true artists. In the movies, the violence is so gratuitous. The sad truth is that people can't take it when it's reality. The difference between blues, jazz, rock n' roll and rap is that rap stayed poor. Even the white rappers are poor. It's scarier to look at poor people - it makes everyone uncomfortable. Their pain is something that people would like to see swept under the rug. The last chapter of my book is about rappers having the guts to speak truth to power. It is very important that they...
