...stereotypes rather than examining the actual literature on human mating…So on the whole I found the so-called ‘theory’ a rather dumb oversimplification of what we know about mating, and the language and tone of the site immature and crude.” Psychology concentrator Maura E.

Reports on the British investigation, now circulating among U.S. law-enforcement agencies, assert that the group was trying to construct a crude radiological dirty bomb.

When shot through gas turbines on wings, oil has shrunk the planet in a way that was once the stuff of science fiction. Neither of my parents ever flew; both...
