Decoy Inc
Article Abstract:
It has become increasingly common in the US for women to employ the services of a female decoy if they fear that their partner is being unfaithful. The partner will engage the suspect in conversation in a public place, such as a bar, and ask questions designed to assess whether he is being faithful. The women who use a decoy are usually upset to have confirmation of their partner's infidelity, but believe that it is worth knowing the truth. Some observers criticise the use of decoy, believing that most men would find it very hard to resist the approaches of the very attractive women who work as decoys.

Charge of the right brigade
Article Abstract:
Many American conservatives are now blaming television and films for the violence, irresponsible sex and collapse of family values which have become common in the US. They are particularly targeting Hollywood, criticising leading film companies as irresponsible. Senator Bob Dole has even gone as far as to mention individual people as being destroyers of morality.
