NY Times 3/30-4/2

Monday: Glenn Beck, a host on the Fox News Channel, has become one of the most popular voices on television. After being in the air for only two months, he already has 2.3 millino viewers. American people are able to relate to his views and lessons, which is allowing Fox to take a lead over CNN and MSNBC.

Tuesday: Colleges are accepting wealthier applicants than in previous years. This seems like it would be problematic for applicants who are less fortunate, but these statistics are showing it is making financial aid easier to get.

Wednesday: Because of the poor economy, boating is becoming a decreasing past time. Rivers are being polluted with abandoned boats and sailing parts by people who can no longer afford the luxury of owning a boat. This is a huge concern for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Thursday: In Arlington Heights, Ill., public libraries are becoming more than just a place to borrow books and information. Librarians are now dealing with more stress than they ever thought they would have to endure such as new money saving services and dealing with homeless men who use the building as shelter.
