Abusive behavior can range from intense psychological intimidation -- threats to limit physical freedom, withhold money or even kill family pets -- to bone-shattering physical violence. Worse, in about half to two-thirds of such cases, the mayhem spreads to children in the family. The death of seven- year-old Lisa Steinberg in New York City last month is widely believed to have been a result of beating by one or both of her adoptive parents. Experts think such violence is caused by stress, a history of abuse or an obsessive need for control. Says Author Fedders: "Rich men like...
...deans could have set the limit at a more reasonable number like 2.3, the national average of children per family. (The .3 would be a party with warm beer and no music). As part of the new leaf, the deans invested the Senior Tutors with additional powers and a new title, Allston Burr Senior Tutor and Dean Wharmer Party-Buster, in honor of the famous dean who brought Faber College's Delta House under control...
...disillusioned right makes the same mistake that liberals have made for years: believing that Reagan does not really mean what he says.

The Crimson went about 75 miles per hour and the Falcons barely scraped 20, as Harvard buzzed...
There may be hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Weiweis throwing tantrums throughout China. The reason: Beijing's stringent one-child-per- couple policy. As its population approached 1 billion, the People's Republic began enforcing the one-child limit in 1979. Today, of the 337 million Chinese children under 14, 30 million are without siblings. These children, called "little emperors" by the local press, have been swaddled in the love of their parents and grandparents; as a result, many Chinese fear, they are growing up spoiled, selfish and lazy. "The child cares about getting love from others...
