SCIENCE PROVES SUMMERS WRONG Male scientists who do good research succeed because they’re just so womanly, an actual study has found. The University of Bath’s Mark Brosnan—who seems to have no reason to make Larry Summers look dumb in such a timely fashion—drew his conclusion from a careful study of the index fingers of successful male and female researchers...

In 1994 Dookie, their first major-label album, sold 10 million copies. Multimillionaires at 22, the members of Green Day settled into a routine of churning out blink-and-they're-over records followed closely by triumphant world tours. They were not quite...
