...while the LSD-guru, who died in 1996, had become just another episode in Harvard's colorful past, the College still closely mirrors national trends of illicit drug...
That, at least, is the view of psychologist and child-care guru John Rosemond, who laid out his complaints in a series of columns published in more than 100 newspapers last month. And superficially at least, his arguments seem to make sense. For more than a generation, observes Rosemond, experts like Dr. T. Berry Brazelton have advised parents to let kids decide for themselves when to make the transition from diapers to potty. As a result, the age of toilet training has risen dramatically--as has the incidence of constipation, bladder-control problems and other potty-related ills...
...years ago. Its creator, Barry Sears, has sold more than 3 million copies of his book The Zone. His latest is The Anti-Aging Zone (ReganBooks), which promises that Zone techniques like rigorous calorie restriction will keep you not only slim but also young.

Last year he gave openly gay financial guru Andrew Tobias money to help produce Out of the Past, an award-winning documentary on gay history. (Tobias, an old Harvard chum, says he was the first person Huffington told about his sexuality, 26 years ago.) Tobias asked if he could include his friend's name in the film's credits, and Huffington consented. Three months ago, he also gave $140,000 to the University of Southern...
