Current Vanguard: The Price of Vice
From prostitution in China, which has an estimated 6-10 million sex workers, to the world's largest marijuana plantations in Morocco, Vanguard looks at how criminal activity has become industrialized and in many cases has reached an "almost legal" status. Like most conventional industries, it's the workers at the bottom of the ladder that take on the brunt of the labor, and get remunerated the least. Vanguard gives a face to these everyday people who make up the foundation of these illegal enterprises so big that they amount to major industries.

* Couchsurfing.com
* Pole Dancing as Exercise
* Rock & Roll Camp for Girls
* Barbie vs. Bratz
* Butlers In High Demand
* Deeper Vocals Attract Women
Obviously ratings are driving the news decisions at Nightline which was born as a nightly show during the Iran Hostage crisis in 1979. Since the departure of Ted Koppel and the reconfiguration of Nightline the show has taken a decidedly fluffier turn. Unlike the raw gr... more -
