...philosophy. But why should economics and political philosophy be the only fields in which students may gain a basic grounding, and gain credit for it as such, without sacrificing an elective slot? In the social sciences, similar well-thought-out introductions to sociology, anthropology and psychology should join Soc Anal 10. The Humanities Core should incorporate existing surveys of fine arts, of various cultural histories and literatures, of Shakespeare, and of philosophy. The sciences should expand on a sensible modification recently made public, which allows upperclassmen to count certain introductory science courses, such as Physics 12 and Chem...
...unvarnished details. Her data on prevalence is gathered in nightclubs where researchers ask patrons about their sexual habits. She talks to women across Asia who have chosen prostitution because it pays better than factory work. And she studies the impact of specific sexual activities, explaining scientifically why, say, anal sex is so much riskier than vaginal sex.

Currently, the screening fails to ask about sexual behaviors such as unprotected sex and heterosexual anal sex, which both are methods of HIV transmission. In order to be safe and properly discriminatory, the FDA should address all forms of high-risk behavior without singling out homosexual men. Concerned citizens should protest the FDA’s current phrasing and demand change. However, boycotting Red Cross blood drives punishes...
...people didn’t say, ‘Oh my god, look at the Ph.D. she’s got!’” In her slideshow of sin, no genre of porn was left untouched as Dines displayed advertisements from sites for fetishes such as anal sex, incest, and “ass-to-mouth” pornography, where the woman must “literally eat her own shit.” Time to go purge your Internet browsing history...
