...greatest in the first few years of sexual activity. College is a freer environment than the one most people grow up in, and therefore it is particularly important to educate people about sexual choices and habits at places like Harvard. While most cases of HPV are harmless and generally clear within two years, this now-cheaper vaccine protects against 70 percent of all cases of cervical cancer and 90 percent of genital warts. We understand that this vaccine is not right for everyone. At the same time, we encourage students to be proactive, do the research, and talk to their...
That much was clear to many of the European attendees in Washington, who viewed the summit at best as harmless, and at worst as an attempt to undermine the upcoming UN climate negotiations in Bali at the end of the year.

...proud and athletic Sarkozy probably wasn't thrilled at the way his slight lateral protrusions invaded the media examination of his first, remarkably successful 100 days in office. However, he'd probably be wise to consider it a relatively harmless harbinger of more troubling events likely to await him during his second 100 days. Up until now, Sarkozy has impressed the French and world public with his relentless pace in attacking challenges both at home and abroad. He has smoothly guided through several contested legal and economic reforms in France; he's meanwhile staged diplomatic coups by brokering an agreement...
