...have long abandoned their in loco parentis role, leading students to believe that all lifestyle choices are equally valid. Last year's The Shadow University updates this idea-Alan Charles Kors and Harvey Silverglate argue that institutions of higher learning have gradually become reeducation camps. Where once parents could expect their progency to continue receiving moral guidance, Mom and Dad now are told to sign the checks and get out of the way so that junior can overcome 18 years of outmoded instruction. But while progressive brainwashing may be a new idea, the idea of persecuting the Greeks...
...more satisfying resolution than many blacks had dared expect. East Texas, with its dusty small towns and cotton fields, is more Dixie than Lone Star. And the South hasn't been a place where blacks always found justice in the courtroom. In towns like Jasper, not long ago, blacks--even black lawyers--were routinely called by their first name in court, often excluded as jurors, their testimony discounted again and again. Black life was so cheap that whites almost never got the death penalty for killing blacks. After Byrd's murder, King gloated to an accomplice that "we have made...
...likely she is to conceive and the larger her litters. Angier reports on data, still disputed, that suggest human females are more likely to get pregnant from sex with an adulterous lover than from sex with their spouse.

The man's penis, after all, has to double as a urine-and-semen-delivery tube and contains only half as many nerve fibers as the more refined and specialized clitoris...
...expect that REIT shares will remain under pressure until the market sees more evidence that public ownership of real estate companies really does put a leash on the boom-bust mentality. The good news is that such evidence is building, as last fall's pullback suggests, and that REIT shares are so depressed--many trade below their breakup values--that they represent a real buy. If you're looking for a way to hedge your com bets, consider quality names like Boston Properties and Equity Office, or a REIT index fund, including Vanguard...
...PLEASE Its employees dress in camouflage, but you don't usually think of the U.S. Army as being green. Not until last week, that is, when top brass announced the arrival of an environmentally friendly bullet. It has all the wallop you've come to expect from regular ammo but 100% less lead. Set to be standard issue by 2003, this copper-jacketed killer contains a tungsten core that won't contaminate the water and soil around firing ranges. That way you can leave an unspoiled world for the children of the guy you've just wasted...
