...Ritalin. I've been on medication since the third grade. I don't like what the medication does to me. About four years ago I stopped taking my Ritalin. I'd get the pills and then throw them away. I started being wild. I liked how I felt because I didn't have to be courteous, and getting in trouble didn't bother me like it used to. I was getting along pretty good and making friends. I went to a party with a bunch of girls and we stayed out late. I walked one home and kissed her good...
...ought to be remembered that, as indisputably great a player as Wilt Chamberlain was, he often evoked a public awe closer to loathing than admiration. "No one roots for Goliath," he lamented to his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Jerry West. The observation was both personally felt and generally interesting in what it says about the way people look at giants. Size (which matters) is an accident of biology, but we tend to treat it as an implicit assault on the averageness of the rest of us--a potential menace, an insulting excess--and there is a universal desire...
...course, physical love ain't chopped liver, either. Avoiding all one-on-one contact is a lacuna that will become all the more glaring as babes like Will and Ford remain unattached.

I have always had great respect for Einstein's brilliant scientific accomplishments. Sadly, his character flaws were just as enormous as his intellect was exceptional. Ultimately, proof of his selfish behavior will diminish Einstein's legacy. Instead, he will become a prime example of how men can master difficult branches of knowledge but lack the wisdom to love their...
Financing a higher education is easy if you are a lefty and attending Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa. Thanks to a southpaw benefactor who felt discriminated against, junior and senior lefties can get up to $1,000 a year as long as they need help. The scholarship is just one in a long list of odd grants, some tied to a specific school but most for the college of your choice. Which ones do you qualify...
