us: What was on that Web site?
An unwanted cyber-guest may visit your kids tonight. The
Internet is the information marvel of our time. With a
personal computer, modem and telephone line, children,
adults -- and columnists -- can find information quickly
and communicate with folks around the globe. The easy
access to facts, entertainment and people has turned some
adults and children into cyber-junkies. But sometimes this
window to the world allows the sordid to sneak into homes,
unbeknownst to parents.

us: Wiretap law raised in Net sex cases
Superior Court judges are at odds over chat room chatter.
They have disagreed in recent rulings on the computer
techniques investigators use to gather evidence on
predators who troll the Internet to entice and seduce
children. While Judge Robert E. K. Morrill, citing privacy
safeguards in the state’s wiretap law, has refused to allow
Rockingham County prosecutors to present information police
collected in chat room exchanges, two other judges have
rejected defense motions to suppress evidence in similar
cases.

Les femmes prennent le sexe en main
Murs orange et musique punk rock, Toys in Babeland
ressemble à n'importe quelle autre boutique à la mode de
Soho. Seule différence peut-être : on trouve ici l'une des
plus impressionnantes collections de vibromasseurs de tout
New York : au moins trois cents disposés en vitrine et sur
des étagères. «Les gens sont toujours étonnés de découvrir
un endroit agréable, consacré au sexe, dit Claire Cavannah,
la fondatrice. Nous n'avons rien à voir avec les sex-shops
glauques dans lesquels les hommes récupèrent des vidéos en
cachette. Nous sommes un magasin créé par des femmes pour
les femmes qui veulent être les seules maîtresses de leur
sexualité. Sans honte ni inhibition.» Avec son associée
Rachel Venning, Claire Cavannah a créé sa première boutique
à Seattle en 1993, et s'est finalement installée à Soho en
septembre. «Au début, c'était l'inconnu, poursuit-elle.
Aujourd'hui, les affaires sont florissantes.»

concepts.

First they came for the statues, then they came for the
performers, and then they came for me.
>From the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 to the Broadcast
Decency Enforcement Act of 2004, to the myriad laws that
are chipping away at legal abortion (e.g., the Unborn
Victims of Violence Act signed by the president on April
1), and the potential Constitutional amendment to define
marriage, efforts to legislate morality are on the rise.
And what can't be legislated is being censored.
