...Prostate cancer, which kills 29,000 men in the U.S. each year, is a tenacious disease in advanced stages. The treatment of cancer that has metastasized beyond the prostate involves drugs that block male hormones, the androgens testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, which feed tumor growth.

Over time, however, cancer cells become resistant to the drugs as the number of androgen receptors on the cells increases, and in a cruel twist, the drugs somehow begin to stimulate...

Marine said she hoped students would learn that gender is something that can be playful. Gender “is not just what we all wake up with, it’s fun and creative...
...perhaps not as powerfully presented as the story of Louis and Prior, but it is effective nonetheless. Alex R. Breaux ’09 often displays a stoic demeanor that perfectly captures Joe Pitt’s struggle to fit the ideal of the nondescript, hardworking, heterosexual American male. (In reality, Joe is anything but the American ideal.) Even his costume (designed by Rheeqrheeq A. Chainey ’11)—a suit complete with a red and blue striped tie—reflects his concern with an outward appearance and reputation that gets Uncle Sam?...
