More of the Sexes
San Diego Union-Tribune, Sept. 10- As scientific and medical knowledge has progressed, the definition of what it means to be male or female has become increasingly complex and less settled. Some question whether physical attributes can adequately define one's sex, especially when those attributes are contradictory, as with hermaphrodites or intersex babies. (Quote by Dr. Madhu Alagiri, a pediatric urologist and assistant professor of surgery at UCSD.)

MEChA
San Diego Union-Tribune, Opinion, Sept. 10- It would be tempting to dismiss the recent media flap around the candidacy of Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and his membership in the student organization Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or MEChA, as much to do about nothing. But for those of us who have been following over the last decade the political propaganda of anti-Mexican hate groups, the controversy indicates just how far the rhetoric and tactics of the extreme right have entered the mainstream media.
