...found the elusive chemical key to female desire. The study, published in 2000 in the New England Journal of Medicine, reported that many of the women who, like Washington, were on real testosterone had more sexual fantasies and more sex and masturbated more than they had before. But so, albeit to a lesser extent, did women who wore patches with no testosterone at all. For women suffering from lost libido, the placebo effect was almost as strong as that of the hormone.

Since 1978, when Deng Xiaoping famously announced that “to get rich is glorious,” Communist China has embraced a form of market economics, albeit a perverted one.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is indeed extraordinary, but it's anything but gentle. --By Lev Grossman
After last week's Duma elections, Russia's future lies more than ever in the hands of Vladimir Putin. Parties loyal to the President swept the parliament - albeit by tactics condemned by foreign observers. So Putin now has the power to transform the country - but does he have the vision? Watch these crucial areas: PRESIDENT TILL 2011?: Up for re-election in March 2004, Putin insists he has no plans to amend the constitution to change the presidential term from four to seven years - or lift the two-term limit. Allies and adversaries alike predict he will. SATELLITE STATES: Putin...
