...their bodies, men in the testes and adrenal glands, women in the adrenal glands and ovaries. But men produce much more--the average healthy male has 260 to 1,000 nanograms of testosterone per deciliter of blood plasma. For women the range is 15 to 70. But because men differ on how effectively their bodies process the substance--for instance, some have more receptors around their body that absorb it--a man on the low end of the normal range can still have all the testosterone he needs for normal sex drive and other benefits. In healthy men, levels also...
...same way that the bold frontiersmen of the 19th-century gold rush were different from the era's staid urban patriarchs, today's American college graduates differ from their parents as they take their place in the "modern gold rush" economy. According to a report from CNN, an increasing number of college seniors are turning to the here-today, gone-tomorrow Internet world for post-graduation jobs, rather than exploring "safer" alternatives in advertising, banking and the law. Like the economy, today's graduates are a different breed than their predecessors. Unlike their parents, who sought long-term jobs...
...idea of a flag-burning amendment is advanced mostly by conservatives who seem not to understand that its logic partakes of the worst of coercive and morally negligent thinking from the other side of the ideological aisle. How does the rationale for prohibiting flag-burning differ from the politically correct fascism on university campuses that, for example, denies a hearing to Ward Connerly, the Californian behind the legal drive against affirmative action...
...response to Buchanan (excluding the one or two questions implying that Buchanan is a bigot simply because his views differ from most Kennedy School students) was neither inappropriate nor restricted to liberals trying to silence a conservative speaking at Harvard. Buchanan must be vigorously confronted with his long record of racism at his every appearance to stop him from turning the hateful rhetoric on and off to suit his purposes. Confronting hate-mongers is not the sole province of the left, accepted wisdom in Cambridge notwithstanding. Buchanan's bigotry is not a figment in the imagination of liberals: His anti...
...obscured. It is hard to identify who among the current population has been wronged, or to define what level of reparations would be fair. A gap of more than three generations separates today's Americans and the slaves or slaveholders. Nor were all slaves the same. Would reparations differ for the descendants of slaves manumitted in 1800 and those of slaves freed only after the Civil War? The growing population of biracial Americans further complicates the question. Would someone with one grandparent descended from slaves receive one quarter of the payment received by another whose ancestors were all slaves...
