| Monday, October 27, 2003 Quote of the "Day" (Sunday) "This is objective journalism as this administration likes it, all right — news you can't use." -- Frank Rich http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/26/arts/26RICH.html Thursday, October 23, 2003 Canadian Readers: Butter Magazine I enjoyed being interviewed for the fall issue of Butter -- you can find this (free!) quarterly in Vancouver, Seattle, Toronto and Montreal... Michelle Rainer is the New York link to Butter and photo was taken by Matt Furman A fabulous new magazine. If you sign up, you get invited to parties and stuff... Sunday, October 19, 2003 Quote "of the" Day "We want to do an anthropological massage into the body of the ministry." Gilberto Gil discussing his role as Culture Minister of Brazil. Inspiring stuff, this two-part profile perked me right up!

I am glad doctors in the developing world are speaking up in the face of whacky Western superstition. India needs medical resources which are not always affordable or available. (Condoms, for example.) I think it's appalling for the Catholic Church to trivialize a developing country's medical needs by spreading foolish tales about miraculous medals. And what about the rumors I've heard -- that Mother Theresa opposed the distribution of condoms in India? Is this true? |
