...president, is to drop bombs—sort of the national equivalent of a sigh of relief. But, while the president ponders the question of “Who Would Jesus Bomb?” there are some hints that it’s time to kick our fear habit. For instance, New Yorkers are, by and large, not scared. For some reason the people of New York seem a lot more confident and a lot less fearful about terrorism than people from Bush’s red states. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas was afraid to simply...
...public. French Smokers Say Non W hen the money is right, many French smokers would rather quit than fight.

Up to 20% of the inmates, by the guards' rough estimates, are HIV positive; because they are registered by the police, they can be tracked after they leave the camps. Eventually Ho wants to find and monitor 500 HIV-negative patients in the Mangxi area who are at high risk...
Instant Messaging is an addictive habit that must be broken if the true purpose of this college is to be achieved. The real education that you get from Harvard does not come from the aloof professors or $100 course packs, but rather from the weird and interesting conversations that you can have with weird and interesting people. When you look back on your college years, you’re not going to remember the time you sent you’re friend a funny link to a gay porn site. You’re going to remember that three-hour...
