...vast majority of sex education advocates - even Planned Parenthood, the target of considerable ire in the flurry of recent e-mails - do present abstinence as the only absolutely risk-free sexual behavior. Planned Parenthood's web site includes a chart detailing the risks and responsibilities of sexual activities. The text cautions, "Sexual relationships present physical and emotional risks. Abstinence is a very good way to postpone taking those risks until women and men are mature enough to handle them."

...about the loss of Christian morality that come across as even more depressing than Tom Stoppard's musings in Jumpers and show-stoppers about the benefits of being a male nun, Durang's songs are more bizarre than his scripts, if that can be believed. Add to this a text that switches languages as quickly and gleefully as it does literary allusions, and you have what very easily could have been a confusing and tedious wreck of a play...

...better or worse, we live in a world Andy Warhol made--where striking visuals and fluffy text create and feed desire. In 1978 Warhol said, "I never read; I only look at pictures." He taught the idea crowd that everything out there was tasty bullshit, allowing them to round out their relativism. Eat up, he said.

...President's second effort at matching his wife's success is faring even worse than the first one. His latest literary adventure is nearly a year past its original due date, and has been buffeted by bureaucratic wrangling within the White House. A 400-page, ghostwritten draft of the text, which focuses on race in America, sits stuck in his In box. The topic is one that Clinton cares deeply about and is supremely qualified to examine. Tentatively titled Out of Many, One, the book aims to offer the President's personal vision of future racial and economic justice...
