Schools are beginning to see it as an equal-opportunity issue. The University of Colorado at Boulder now dispatches female cops to advise women how to have a safe night on the town. "When you're drunk, you'll have sex with someone you wouldn't have lunch with," went one pitch, "so bring condoms." To underscore the message, the university recently stationed the blown-out wreckage of a red Honda Prelude at the center of campus.

(Even if he once had to streak onto the Today show set in flesh-colored underwear as a prank for Late Night.) "Sometimes we'd have an older guest who wasn't too familiar with the show," remembers O'Brien...
...model for hypocrisy. This lucid if uneven Broadway staging stars a ferocious Liam Neeson, still the thinking man's hunk. Laura Linney has the more subdued role as his suffering wife. But her gift for finding fire in the quietest corners of normality makes her Neeson's equal...
