...interesting: Barnett spends part of each year in Lhasa, and appears in no hurry to alienate his Chinese hosts; at the same time, he was one of the few foreigners to witness the demonstrations Tibetans staged in Lhasa in 1987, and so can understand the pain and fear that lie just below the city's ever more modern surfaces.

Changing one’s answers to a sexual experience survey may also have medical implications, Rosenbaum said. “If there are people who truthfully reported having had sex on the first survey, as I imagine there are, when they lie about their past experiences, there is a risk that they are underestimating their possible sexually transmitted diseases,” said Rosenbaum. Janice S. Crouse, a Senior Fellow at the Beverly LaHaye Institute, which works with the Concerned Women for America, wrote in an essay criticizing Rosenbaum that her research...
