Some officials, however, remain determined to stop the further spread of China's sexual revolution. The cover of the inaugural issue of Sex Education was officially stamped as a magazine limited to bureaucrats rather than for sale to the public, which will make it harder for the fledgling journal to turn a profit. The fact that investors seem willing to outwait the government -- and that the first issue sold out -- has led optimists to conclude that Chinese pragmatism will ultimately govern the debate over how much sexual liberation China can tolerate. "The influence of the feudal society in China remains...
...satellite data, published in a scientific journal earlier this year, are only the latest evidence of how remote sensing -- the examination of distant or concealed objects by sound waves, electronic signals or other means -- has dramatically changed the study of the oceans. Scientists are now able to see things that they could only grope at before. This is made possible not only by a satellite's panoramic perspective but also by new sonar techniques that peer through waters that are miles deep. Oceanographers who once devoted years to analyzing information from infrequent research trips are deluged with data that...
...businessman with no academic experience, MacLaughlin proved unable to mediate a dispute between divestment activists and their opponents on a campus conservative journal. Some members of the Dartmouth Review razed the shanties erected by the anti-aparthied activists shortly before the school's Winter Carnival.

Further doubt comes from a study reported last week in the New England Journal of Medicine. It reviews the life-spans of parents of all 2,518 Israeli soldiers killed in the 1973 October War, plus parents of 1,128 young men who died in accidents. Conclusion: "No consistent evidence of an elevated risk of death, early or late, after the loss." There was one exception: the death rate rose among widowed and divorced parents who had lost a son, suggesting that support from a spouse lessens grief-related stress. "Rather than emphasize the disruptive power of stress," wrote...
