...know that you cannot overestimate the pervasiveness of attitudes discouraging girls from pursuing math and science. I grew up in a university town, the daughter of a female biologist, but still felt societal and peer pressure that made me believe I couldn't be smart at science. I credit my seventh-grade science teacher with encouraging me to break through my personal stereotypes and refusing to allow me to settle for B's or C's when he knew I could achieve...
...both belong to the new generation of French comic artists that include the likes of David B., author of "Epileptic". (Sfar, whose graphic novel "The Rabbi's Cat" will soon be published by Pantheon, was recently chosen as one of TIME's four comic Innovators.) While both contributors take credit for the writing and art of "Dungeon," Trondheim appears to be the principle draftsman. Wonderfully printed in full color, the special visual style of the books contribute as much to the fun as the smart writing (translated by Joe Johnson, who keeps it cheeky). Filled with details...

Hundreds of companies are using Mosaic to establish an easy...

It is connected to the Net but protected by a "gate" that won't open without a password or a credit card. Stacy Horn, a former WELL user, built a similar system on the East Coast with this twist: she offered free accounts to women, hoping they would provide a "civilizing force" to counterbalance the Internet's testosterone-heavy demographics. It turned out to be a successful formula, and Horn has plans to build similar services in six U.S. cities, including Boston, Minneapolis...
