# China busts 111 Falun Gong. BEIJING (AP) China cops have formally arrested
111 Falun Gong members in their extended crackdown on the banned spiritual
group, and at least two other followers died while in custody. Authorities
in Beijing rounded up more than 1,000 followers who streamed into the
capital from other provinces in recent weeks to protest a tightening of
the government's ban. Those followers were subjected to lectures about
the supposed evils of Falun Gong - a process the communist government
calls education - and most were then sent to their home provinces. See

"The final solution to the male question could be less than a generation
away, unless our sexual future is rerouted. Considering the zero-male
alternative, becoming a brave new male might not look so bad... A war of
images is raging already, with our minds as the battlefield, and the
future of the human male at stake. [How] future scientific discoveries
are going to be applied will be determined by our collective picture of
the male future, by the most powerful *idea* of what men ought to be."
