...parcel of parenting), women interpret it as a sign of caring, experience less stress and are more likely to find themselves in the mood for sex. This is not to say that more involved fathering has erased marital tensions or that it hasn't introduced new ones. Dads admit they get fussed over for things moms do every day. "Sometimes you're treated like a dog walking on its hind legs--'Oh, look, he can do laundry!'" says Jim O'Kane, 47, a father of two in Blackstone, Mass. And some women resent ceding their role as top parent. When...
...Craigslist’s bizarre alchemy of anonymity and potentiality breeds hundreds of such posts. The poster would (I hope) be chagrined to admit in his actual life that he prefers women who “know when to be quiet.” What Craigslist offers is the opportunity to meet such women without any of the consequences of doing it in person. And this possibility drives him—and others like him—to fill the message boards with their specifications. Yet the discontinuity between public persona and private desires can be dangerous...
...hard to argue that the puffs of pot that waft out of college dormitories are inculcating slothfulness or Marxism among developing generations. It is even harder to attack pot from a cultural standpoint when it is hardly the exclusive domain of young people; when presidential candidates can openly admit their use of the drug without consequence, it is clear enough that the mainstreaming of pot is complete.

If we're honest, we'll admit that many of us have those stories ourselves. We cling to them, in a slightly undignified but somehow understandable wish to feel connected to the defining event of our time. To share in the plot line, just as we shared in the grief, to be part of something bigger than ourselves...
...regret, ask for specifics. I didn't want to push her to talk about things she wasn't ready to discuss. As a result, I never wrote about her extensively. But I did quote her in a TIME story about survivors three years ago. And I must admit I never once doubted the veracity of what she told me. The truth is, I have never called the alma mater of 9/11 victims to make sure they are who they say they are. There is to this day no complete public database listing the survivors, partly due to privacy concerns...
