TEMECULA ---- It was the first night for Chaparral High School's mock trial preparations, and student team captain Samy Harmoush was ready to start gearing up for the annual courthouse competition.
The only problem was, he hadn't eaten all day ---- literally ---- and decided to quietly munch on chips and drink some water soon after the faculty adviser began the 6:30 p.m. meeting.

-- I belong to one of the most oppressed minorities in the country. You wouldn't know it by looking at me. My oppression has nothing to do with my skin color, my religion, my sex, or even my nationality, which is American.
Yet for over 30 years, a small class of working people who are employed as professional, state-licensed caretakers and breeders of Racing Greyhounds, have been subject...

—Anne-Louise Germaine Necker, aka Madame de Staël (1766-1817) -- French author and political philosopher "What a bummer it is to be a human being."
(Swans - October 24, 2005) The questions on the agenda -- What have we come to? Who are we? And what do we stand for? -- come from two readers of first, TomDispatch, and second, the New York Times (see the front page ). They were as...

Another Scottish gripe about the BBC having too much English coverage and not enough Scottish. Plus the usual demand for an independent Scottish news at six. Let us hope such never comes to pass. Scottish broadcasting is already too parochial, amateurish and obsessed with football.
This has nothing to do with native talent: the BBC bristles with Scottish producers and presenters. It has t...

It might be the most discussed secret in women's basketball.
The issue jumped onto the sports pages last week with allegations that Penn State basketball coach Rene Portland harassed a player into quitting the Lady Lions because Portland thought the player is gay. The player, Jennifer Harris, denies she is a lesbian, but enlisted a San Francisco-based lesbian advocacy group, the National...

[Parts of the following article are taken from the book Assume the Position by Jim Kouri.]
The news coverage of the extraordinarily brutal murder of Pamela Vitale, wife of well-known California criminal defense attorney Daniel Horowitz, seems to have renewed interest in ritualistic crime. The 16-year old suspect is reported to have been involved in some kind of self-styled Satanism includ...

When the magician David Blaine infamously spent 44 days without food in a Plexiglas box above the Thames in 2003, he was channeling a series of "hunger artists" who, at the turn of the 19th century, turned starving into a performance. Empty stomachs -- whether for spectacle, religious rite, political protest or medical cure -- are the subject of Sharman Apt Russell's insightful Hunger: An Unna...

My friendship with an American Girl doll began when a black slave named Addy helped my 8-year-old daughter find her courage and define her values.
American Girl dolls wear period clothing from our country's history. Each doll also stars in her own series of books designed to teach girls about American history.

"A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgment of God has been rendered and she must be destroyed..."
Louis Farrakhan is at it again. With the “Millions More Movement” he has catapulted himself back into the media spotlight in a manner that must make Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton green with envy. One thing that doesn't get a lot of mention, although most Americans are certa...

His scornful tone made it clear that he expected a reply in the negative. But I had to point out that we had indeed legalised gay marriage. The technical name of the legislation was the Civil Partnerships Bill. But it is a gay marriage bill in all but name.
The idea of 'civil partnerships' was piloted by the mayor of London Ken Livingstone. He is a long-time political ally of mine. So I...
