...person votes a month before the election. To my shock, none of them told me they were voting early "to avoid old people." Equally surprising, no one found that question to be strange. The voters were, however, dubious about my professionalism when I asked whether "people sometimes call them anal"--though 36% said yes. Also, 36% had already done some Christmas shopping and their taxes, 44% applied early admission to college, and one-third had stamps on them. Two even said they don't carry stamps because they pay all their bills online. One woman was saving her I VOTED...
...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. The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels, and the Business of AIDS is, in other words, unlike most books on HIV policy, which shroud arguments about sex and drugs in abstract, uncontroversial terms. Pisani prefers to hit the controversy head on, writing about AIDS...
...this pigeonholing description alienates readers like me. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Leitch addresses this audience in a hopelessly juvenile style. The jokes are lame, the asides irrelevant, the word choice beyond bizarre. (I still can’t get over my shock at seeing the word “anal-raping” in print. See? Shocking.) Leitch’s personal anecdotes are at once amusingly self-deprecating and annoyingly self-aggrandizing. And call me a prude, but when Leitch writes of Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds that “their back looks like your face did when...
...population helps no one. If the FDA is concerned about disease transmission through blood donations—which it rightly should be—it would do better to rephrase its questionnaire. 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...
