San Francisco, Friday, March 22, 2002 - The new National Credit Card Survey by Consumer Action (CA), released today, takes a close look at 126 credit cards issued by 42 companies. Due to lower federal interest rate indexes, average variable annual percentage rates (APRs) have fallen by almost three and a half percentage points in the past year-but 29% of variable rate cards surveyed by CA have minimum APRs-"floors"- that short-circuit the trend. Without these floors, the rates would have dropped by almost five percentage points. Twenty-nine percent of the variable rate cards in this year's survey have a minimum APR.

Music Review:Heathen-David Bowie
by Brad DeMaagd

For nearly 40 years, some people have joined an artist named David Bowie on a journey of evolution. An evolution of music, movies, and identity that range from Ziggy Stardust of the 70's to the White Duke to simply David Bowie. Seasoned by his years of experiences, "Oh the stories I could tell you," he teases an audience during a taping of MTV's Unplugged, David gives the wicked smile of a man who has seen and done things that most of us would be happy to read, but never write about.

The Cult Of Cusack
by Jayne Denker

So, what would you say to a presidential nominee with a "dare-to-be-great" platform? He's smart, clever, handsome, funny, romantic, and wears a trenchcoat like nobody else. Oh yeah--and he bench presses boom boxes cranking Peter Gabriel really well, too. Yes, folks, the push is on to elect John Cusack for President of the United States. It's recently been reported that the movement to elect that cool guy Gen X-ers hold near and dear to their hearts now has more than 140 chapters on college campuses across the country. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm in. Where's my campaign button?

by Jennifer Lofquist

You ever kissed a frog? I mean, walked down to your local neighborhood pond, puckered up and laid a wet lickery kiss on a slimy amphibian? You haven't? Oh, I bet you have. I bet you've gone to dinner with frogs, taken frogs out to movies and, dare I say it, I bet you've slept with a frog. You may have even liked it. Then one morning, or one evening, depending on your personal preferences, you rolled over and realized you had frog slime on your pillow, and you thought…but wait, "if I loved this person enough, they were supposed to become a princess/prince."

Securing America
by Susan Hollis

In the wake of widespread criticism of the US government's ability to prevent future terrorist attacks on American soil, President Bush recently proposed the creation of a new Cabinet level position to oversee domestic security. Under the President's plan, the Department of Homeland Security will replace the informal Office of Homeland Security that Bush established after September 11th with the objective to not only thwart terrorist attacks but also reduce the nation's vulnerability to terrorism and expedite recovery efforts in the event that an attack does occur.
