...what else?--I Pity the Fool. Turns out he pities the fools so much that he'll help them change their lives, applying his moral "rules for fools" to hapless willing subjects on each episode. Mr. T isn't the only 1980s TV personality using retro-star status to spread his gospel. Here are four more...
...former President Bill Clinton all highlighted new prevention techniques in the opening days of the conference. These include the development of microbicides, oral drugs to prevent HIV infection, and even male circumcision. There still isn't enough evidence yet that proves any of these strategies can actually halt the spread of the disease, but they are promising enough to earn new infusions of research dollars and scientists' time.

...this summer. And those beautiful words kept echoing in my head. “The government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” There is no better definition of democracy. But as our government tries to spread this creed across the world, it keeps encountering the same stumbling block. In Iraq, it seems, “the people” do not exist. There are only competing groups who lack faith in each other and, more crucially, in their central authority. What good are elections or constitutions without this...
