...parents actually spend time on this kind of thing...and yet it’s probably one of the most if not the most important aspects of life—connecting meaningfully to other human beings. 3. FM: What do you think of the college hook-up culture?AB: It’s important to do something and practice something in order to get better at it, and dating is no different. So you have to figure out what your preferences are, you have to figure out what the things are to say and what the behaviors are to really...
...California became one of the first states in the nation to legalize medical marijuana. Currently, $200 million in medical-marijuana sales are subject to sales tax. If passed, the Marijuana Control, Regulation and Education Act (AB 390) would give California control of pot in a manner similar to that of alcohol while prohibiting its purchase by citizens under age 21. (The bill has been referred to the California state assembly's public-safety and health committees; Ammiano says it could take up to a year before it comes to a vote for passage.)

Conservatives harrumph at all this adulation. Before declaring his greatness, we insist that we should wait for him to accomplish something for the country.

Turn up "Teen Spirit" even louder and the noise goes fractal, exposing the overdubs and high production values, and revealing the apotheosis of punk-rock...
Then came the spear that pierced the industries of comics, movies and ab videos: 300. "I was pretty sure we were making a boutique movie," says director Zack Snyder of his R-rated, blood-spattered retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. With no stars and a lot of leather bikini bottoms, 300 grossed more than $200 million in the U.S. alone. "The movie struck a chord because it was unapologetic," says Snyder, who is directing Watchmen for release next March. "It's difficult to find a movie that feels true to itself. You feel the hand of Hollywood, the moviemaking...
