...find it troubling that the campus climate of late seems to include normalization of female objectification. Because objectification of potential sex partners (often women) is often a prerequisite for sexual violence, imagery and phrasing that objectify women contribute to a culture in which rape and other forms of sexual assault are accepted. In addition, people who have already experienced sexual violence may be triggered or particularly disturbed by thoughtless, insensitive publicity materials...

...excess. The American Medical Association began warning of the dangers of binge-drinking and risky sexual behavior; fingers have also been wagged at young women for prebreak "anorexic challenges" and documented promiscuity. Many universities have taken to distributing "safe break bags" to students - including sunscreen, condoms and a sexual-assault manual. Such shenanigans also became the metier of spring break's most controversial enthusiast: Joe Francis, the man behind the Girls Gone Wild video series. Francis' videos of topless coeds made him a fortune - quite literally off the backs (and especially fronts) of young women - until an ill-advised shoot...

...bombing raid came after an intelligence tip-off. In early January, at the height of Israel's assault on Gaza, Israel's foreign-intelligence agency, Mossad, was told by an informant that Iran was planning a major delivery of 120 tons of arms and explosives to Gaza, including antitank rockets and Fajir rockets with a 25-mile (40 km) range and a 99-lb.

There have been reports that you and your family live part of each week now across the border in El Paso, that U.S. law enforcement has helped screen your bodyguards. I now have six bodyguards who carry assault weapons instead of guns. But I live in Juarez, I work in Juarez, I sleep in Juarez. [The reports] were fueled by El Paso Mayor John Cook, a good friend of mine, who said when the threats started that if the [Juarez] mayor wants to come to El Paso we'll provide security for him. I told him I didn't need...
