Has anyone taken the Ace exam? I am studying for the one in May, and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some inside info. I took the Exercise Ect. course and have been studying a lot but there is so much to know! Thanks in advance!

3. The story:
http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=542

<snip>
Just last month, in an article discussing Kweisi Mfume’s resignation from the nation's largest civil rights lobby, Williams said the NAACP was “foundering amidst charges of sexual harassment and economic improprieties” when Mfume was hired.

Yet in 1997, Williams was sued in a massive $200,000 50-charge sexual harassment suit for repeatedly kissing his once male trainer Stephen Gregory who he had promoted repeatedly into his talk-show staff. Gregory claimed Williams had also grabbed his buttocks and genitals and climbed into bed with him on business trips. After rebuffing him, Gregory alleged, the pundit retaliated by reducing his pay and subsequently firing him.

At the time, the Williams had just teased an explosive quote from then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott who said that gays should be treated like those who have a problem with “alcohol or sex addiction or kleptomaniacs.”

Williams roundly supported this view.

Gregory’s attorney, Mickey Wheatley, a former lawyer with the Lamda Legal Defense Fund, a gay civil rights group, told the San Francisco Chronicle he thought it “ironic for Trent Lott to be making these offensive pronouncements when he’s sitting across from somebody who's been accused of the most abusive kind of conduct of a homosexual nature.”
