Other college administrators share McCardell's frustration. "If there were an 18- or 19-year-old drinking age, we could address the issues more favorably," says Dartmouth College President James Wright. As it is, "we can't go around sniffing students' breath or smelling their cups." Despite their complaints, college heads have been disinclined to make a public case for lowering the drinking age, knowing how controversial that would be. Meanwhile, on a number of campuses, administrators are employing what turns out to be a remarkably powerful tool to curb excessive drinking: simple information. When college students are asked...
...curiosity as fear, and if I had more faith in bold commandments issued in the voice of Charlton Heston, I could imagine having that porch talk once, or maybe twice, and being done with it. Then I'd move directly to the punishment phase: "Is that beer on your breath, my darling? No car keys. Ever!" Unfortunately, I doubt that it will go like this. If my daughter is anything like I was, the talk will have intermissions, pauses, breaks, and will need to be resumed and modified, according to circumstances, every few months or so. The outright...

In the past few years, countless tourists to Europe and Japan have been impressed by local cell phones that don't lose connections when you turn a corner and that have all sorts of services that are denied Americans...

Even harsh Clinton critics concede she was one good kid (adding in the next breath, of course, that she was compensating for her dysfunctional parents). Unfortunately for the twins, they are older; one is blonder; both make good copy; and they are highly recognizable. Jenna could hardly have asked for salt on her margarita before the bartender began dialing 911. The Secret Service was nearby...
...from a long tradition of judges overturning personal injury awards. Of the six individual plaintiffs who?ve won cases against tobacco companies over the past four years, only one has actually received a part of the initial award. Richard Boeken, whose health is deteriorating rapidly, isn?t holding his breath for a check...
