There's a code of ethics in the news media which, as far as I can tell, serves no practical purpose. You'd sell a lot more papers if you could make up headlines like "McCain grows to colossal size; uses laser-vision to slash budget." That's why working at Fox News is such a plum job - they don't worry about things like "journalistic ethics.

When it comes to the Internet, old people have the know-how of squid. I'm not sure if it's because they're stuck in their ways or because there aren't a lot of web sites dedicated to false teeth, but something about going online leaves them quaking in their Depends.

Just over five years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, one of the biggest promoters of civil rights, the first televised interracial kiss occurred. On "Star Trek."

From the balcony in the Ubben Basketball Complex on a mid-July afternoon, a spectator couldn't be blamed if he swore a glimpse of the past was running up and down the court.
