Women carry those chirpy mantras with them to college. "They are no longer confined by the stereotypical notions of femininity," says Devon Jersild, a journalist who talked with college-age women for her book Happy Hours: Alcohol in a Woman's Life. "They associate drinking with power, and they think that if they drink like a guy, they will be like a guy." At the University of Colorado at Boulder, where frequent binge drinking among women rose 67% between 1993 and 2000, women routinely brag of matching men in alcohol consumption. Sarah, 21, describes a "keg stand"--two friends suspend...
...Early this summer, the Free Press will publish a collection of slain journalist Daniel Pearl's writings, to be introduced by his widow Mariane, and to contain tributes from his WSJ colleagues. Profits from the book will be donated to a trust for Pearl's widow and child...
Perhaps it's time for ANDREA THOMPSON to consult a career counselor. Two years ago, she quit her job on NYPD Blue and left acting behind to become a broadcast journalist.

The Gypsy King, where the locals come to see and be seen, is bathed in scarlet light and packed with a mixed crowd...
...Like the one involving former Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, now in detention in the U.S. but pleading his innocence, who bought a $6.7-million mansion in California, in cash, or the tapes that revealed the voice of President Leonid Kuchma - misleadingly edited, his aides claim - saying that an investigative journalist should be "given" to the Chechens. The journalist was later found dead. It did not have to be this way. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the leaders of the new Ukrainian state had plenty to worry about. Russian subversion, for example, or the ecological damage wrought on their...
