Australia's mandatory sentencing laws too quick to incarcerate juveniles

Occasionally an issue surfaces that provides insight into how a country wants to see itself. Mandatory sentencing is that hot issue right now in Australia.Shortly before I arrived in Melbourne, a 15-year-old Aboriginal boy in the Northern Territory was sentenced to 28 days in jail for stealing a few dollars worth of goods.

Staying cool during Spring Break with VH1 stars Wyclef and Bono

It was the middle of Spring Break, maybe a Tuesday night, and we were lounging in my common room at 2 a.m., surfing through channels, trying to find something to distract us from the chilly Jersey weather and the eerily quiet Princeton campus.
