Between Clinton and Obama, the differences are of degree and style. Clinton has offered more specifics, particularly on health care. For Obama, wonky proposals obviously aren't the core of his appeal--although he has been more explicit than Clinton about raising taxes on the rich. Both voted against the Central American Free Trade Agreement in 2005, but neither is what you'd call an anti-free-trade activist. Clinton, it appears, would be likelier to enter the White House with big legislative proposals ready to roll. Obama might be better at forging the compromises needed to turn them into...

The Court judged France had violated the European Convention on Human Rights - to which France and the other 46 Council of Europe members are signatories - by failing to assess adoption by a lesbian the same way it would...
...surprise, both groups spend a lot of time talking and thinking about the opposite sex, but they do it in very different ways. Boys experiment more with sexually explicit vocabulary and, later, sexual fantasies. Girls focus more heavily--but hardly exclusively--on romantic fantasies. The two-gender world they'll eventually re-enter will be a lot more complex than that, but for now, the boys are simply practicing being boys--albeit in a very rudimentary way--and the girls are practicing being girls. "Among the boys, for example, there's a lot of bragging talk," says Thorne...
