...debate over sex education has long been a heated one. A new study released Dec. 29 found that a popular method of promoting abstinence - pledging to remain a virgin - doesn't appear to be the answer. To reach this conclusion, Janet Rosenbaum, a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health, analyzed information gathered from nearly 1,000 teenagers, of which approximately 30% took a virginity pledge. Parsing the data, Rosenbaum found that the teenagers who took chastity vows were just as likely to have premarital sex as their peers-and significantly less likely to use protection. TIME...
...known as an unwavering conservative, but he often worked across the aisle. In the 1990s, he and Senator Joe Biden collaborated on significant U.N. reform, and at the end of the Clinton presidency, Helms and his fellow Republicans achieved a balanced-budget agreement, something he had fought for since his first day on Capitol Hill...
...Neither Borrower Nor Lender Be I enjoyed Michael Kinsley's essay [Dec. 15]. We have borrowed, and not from fellow Americans but from China, Japan and other countries.

This true-life joke is repeated in Charlie Kaufman's film about a madly ambitious theater man, Synecdoche, New York. So people have been anticipating the death of one of the 20th century's most revered and mysterious playwrights - the near equal to his fellow Nobelist Samuel Beckett, with plays that achieved far more commercial success than Beckett's - for quite some time. Now they can stop. Pinter, who had long been ailing from cancer, died on Christmas Eve at 78. (See the top 10 plays and musicals...
Pinter did not consider his fellow inhabitants of the world lucky, especially those squirming under tyranny's boot. That sense of moral outrage made his political statements more surgically excoriating. His Nobel speech included a bitter reprise of U.S. foreign policy, which he saw as criminal; and he puckishly offered his services as George W. Bush's speechwriter, with this as an audition text for the President: "My God is good. Bin Laden's God is bad. His is a bad God. Saddam's God was bad except he didn't have one. He was a barbarian...
