SEX MATTERS
I'm grateful to Oprah Winfrey lately and here's why: She saved me from writing another column about John Edwards by interviewing Bristol Palin about her recent vow of chastity until marriage.
I first wrote about Edwards in August 2008. Back then, he admitted to his affair with Rielle Hunter while his wife recovered from breast cancer. As is old news now, Edwards' fathered Hunter's baby, although at the time he denied paternity. (He also gave an improbable excuse for his behavior: that his wife's cancer was in remission!) I used his affair as an example of how educators can use current events to discuss sex, love, relationships, contraception (or lack thereof), values, and morals as impromptu lessons, if they have the courage to depart from the prescribed curriculum.
If most people in the United States know anything about the Chinese New Year, the knowledge begins with fireworks, ends with food and is red all over.
Legislation that would allow New Jersey consumers to receive direct shipments from wineries was approved Thursday by a Senate committee.
