What's most striking about the divorce boom is that it's overwhelmingly women who terminate their marriage. The biggest reason? Wandering husbands.

The fact that Osama Bin Laden is still at large in the middle of his region of responsibility never really lands on his shoulders...
...don’t understand why,” senior Brian Aldrich joked afterwards. “I guess they like Charley, too.”On the water, it was the men’s heavyweight four that asserted its dominance yet again for the Crimson. The senior-laden boat faced stiff university competition from Stanford, an infrequent Head of the Charles participant that sent a loaded heavyweight four to the event this year. “They have two guys from the [U23] national team on that boat,” senior two-seat Phil Kaiser said...
