If Mary Whitehouse had been able to understand how little her moral crusade would achieve beyond the short term, would she still have bothered?

I would guess she absolutely would. In my opinion, moral crusaders' highest priority isn't to effect meaningful change, but to express their feelings of moral superiority over others.

Recently discovered evidence suggests that the stories collected in Grimms fairy tales are much older than previously believed, dating back 5 to 6 thousand years.

If I can pay a $10 subscription fee and hear basically 99% of new albums that are released, why hasn't someone used that model with magazine and newspaper articles?

I wish they'd make tv's with a volume cut out so that if the volume suddenly jumps up it hits a maximum. Would make watching films with lots of quiet talking bits and then loud action sequences a lot easier and from a technology point of view would not be hard to implement.
