...Decisions such as which posters to buy at the Coop, whether or not to get a TV, and whether bed risers are a delightful use of space (or just a drunken fort waiting to happen), are all serious questions that every undergrad has to grapple with at some point. Hitler posters and shrines to Barbra Streisand are usually good indicators of latent wacko tendencies (and bad b.o.), but extreme cases aside, how much does your room really say about you? In order to answer this question, FM grabbed two strangers and tested each on the other based solely on their...

Ahmadinejad may be ridiculous, but Podhoretz-who recently spent 45 minutes with Bush arguing for more...
