Gay rights: the issues
Article Abstract:
Clinton's proposal to overturn the military's ban on gays and last year's ballot initiative in Colorado to bar homosexual discrimination claims have focused the nation's attention on homosexuality. Whereas many people argue that homosexuality is a behaviorally-defined condition that does not justify legal protection against discrimination, gay rights activists are claiming that homosexuality is an inborn or innate sexual orientation. Yet recent studies attempting to show a biological basis for homosexuality are inconclusive, demonstrating only a partial genetic basis for homosexual orientation in men.

Highway safety: is the death rate increasing again?
Article Abstract:
Highway safety experts fear that the Republican rush to return rights to the states could increase the number of deaths on US highways. Congress has already begun taking steps to allow states to set their own speed limits and drinking ages, and appears to be ready to lower the safety standards imposed on car manufacturers. Proponents of such moves claim that safety sells, so cars will continue to be made safe, and that states are able to protect their own. Road fatalities fell to 40,000 in 1993 from 53,000 in 1969.
