...that HIV can be spread through tears, that abortion causes sterility, and that condoms fail to stop HIV transmission in 31 percent of cases. None of these claims, of course, is true.

Men’s happiness and success hinge on their accomplishments.” Even in public schools, many abstinence-only programs are run by religious organizations. For example, the federal government gave...

Now, Japan is due to launch its largest ship since World War II, a "Hyuga" class helicopter carrier - Japan's pacifist constitution forbids the use of carriers with more offensive aircraft - that is designed chiefly for anti-submarine warfare. Seoul paraded a similar 14,000 ton vessel at Qingdao...
