...have to warn women that cancer still kills [April 9]. While treatments have improved greatly, without early detection of the first onset or of recurrence, cancer remains deadly. I urge all women to listen to the subtle messages your bodies send. Challenge your doctors, and do not be too afraid or too busy to make an appointment for an examination. Fund-raising commercials and cancer-center advertisements show smiling, apparently healthy patients who seem to have beaten the disease. What Edwards and TV commercials show is only one part of the picture. Cancer is a killer, and we are still...

At times a female will be too aggressive for him, like the smoldering, man-eating Katy Jurado in The Seminarian: "Are you retarded?

"So you're on your own, parents, on finding that extra $4,000 you need this year beyond the federal limit," says an executive at an association of private colleges. But, alas, dear readers, the question of why college costs so much in the first place is another story...
...struggles with manic depression. She told a crowd of mostly students that the widespread reluctance to come forward with mental health issues is a major public health problem. “Such privacy and reticence can kill,” she said, noting that many people are afraid of the repercussions of making their mental health issues public. Jamison, the author of the widely acclaimed memoir “An Unquiet Mind,” uses her unique perspective to inform her role as both a physician and teacher in the mental health field. In her talk, Jamison discussed...
