Broadcasters weigh industry code of conduct debate
Washington broadcasters at a Wednesday gathering discussed pursuing an industry code of conduct for decency. FCC Chairman Michael Powell warned against heavy government rules, while NAB's Eddie O Fritts Jr. said the idea would be seriously considered and debated at the upcoming NAB meeting. The 1982 code and Timberlake Janet Jackson incident were cited in context of indecency complaints and rising fines.

Teenagers use morning after pills not linked to more sex
University of Pittsburgh researchers studied 15 to 20 year olds with immediate access to morning after pills and those without. The 1997 to 2001 study in Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology found no increase in unprotected sex among teens who could obtain emergency contraception. MoveOn.org aired an anti Bush ad citing Richard Clarke and his remarks from 60 Minutes. The PAC said the ad would run and Clarke said he was not consulted.
