...best place to be starting out healthy and free in a land of vast possibilities. In the months and years that followed, however, there came a steady stream of books and essays warning that I had missed something ominous: our little guy had entered a soul-crushing world of anti-boy influences...
...Friends don't let friends drive drunk." Every child of the '80s remembers that ubiquitous anti-drunk-driving slogan, though it hasn't had much impact on celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, who was arrested Tuesday for the second time for driving under the influence.

In fact, Mironova and Kabriov are anti-nuclear activists. Chelyabinsk isn't far from the massive Mayak nuclear complex, which processed materials for the first Soviet atomic weapons. During the 1940s and '50s, Mayak pumped nuclear waste directly into the rivers that ran through villages in the area, exposing hundreds of thousands to dangerous levels of radiation. Though...
