Ms. Carender’s e-mail list had grown to 1,000 — it is now 1,500 — allowing her to summon protesters on short notice and making her the model child of the Tea Party Patriots, which has since become a driving force for advocates nationwide with its weekly conference calls to coordinate Tea Party activity.
Mr. Kidder noted a survey by the Opinion Research Corporation last February, as Mr. Blagojevich was sinking into the impeachment mire in Springfield, asking youths ages 12 to 17 about ethics.
Eighty percent believed they were prepared to make ethical decisions when they joined the work force. Of that group, nearly half said that lying to parents or guardians was O.K., and 61 percent said they had done so in the last year. More than a third of respondents thought that “you have to break the rules at school to succeed.”
Gloria Y. Gadsden, an associate professor of sociology at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, was escorted off the campus on Wednesday because of jokes she had made on her Facebook page about wanting to kill students.

“People thought what they had was an address book for an e-mail program, and Google decided to turn that into a friends list for a new social network,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, an advocacy group in Washington. “E-mail is one of the few things that people understand to be private.”

Among students with weight problems, 42 percent reported opening spam messages offering weight loss products and nearly 19 percent ordered the product. Among normal weight students, 18 percent said they read the e-mail offers and 5 percent bought the product.
Our newest survey looking at perceptions of ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News finds Fox as the only one that more people say they trust than distrust. 49% say they trust it to 37% who do not. A generation ago Walter Cronkite was the most trusted man in the country because of his neutrality. Now people trust Fox the most precisely because of its lack of neutrality.
Kids these days. Just look at them. They've got those headphones in their ears and a gadget in every hand. They speak in tongues and text in code. They wear flip-flops everywhere. Does anyone really understand them?
Only some people do, or so it seems. They are experts who have earned advanced degrees, dissected data, and published books. If the minds of college students are a maze, these specialists sell maps.
