Circumcision is believed to lower H.I.V. transmission in several ways. The inner surface of the foreskin is rich with cells that are more vulnerable to H.I.V. than cells on other parts of the penis; because they are also closer to the epithelial surface and at higher risk for tears during intercourse, they increase susceptibility to infection. Removal of the foreskin further lowers men's odds of developing genital ulcers (from diseases such as syphilis), which in turn lowers their vulnerability to H.I.V. during intercourse. In theory, circumcision should be protective for all men who participate in insertive sex, including heterosexual...

While uniforms do not offer a holistic solution to the problems of academic achievement, they do present a simple positive step that inner city schools can afford to do, both financially and practically.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill...
...Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory,” shown this past weekend at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) with commentary from Robinson, investigates the much-examined Warhol clique from a personal, fresh perspective, exploring the inner machinations of the Factory. Weaving intimate interviews of aging Factory members with excerpts from Williams’ striking films, Robinson tells the story of a creative young man denied the approval of his dominating mother due to his homosexuality and betrayed by Warhol’s Machiavellian manipulation of the boy’s talent and love. Instead...
