...Gates recalls. “The first beer party that I ever attended was as a 17-year-old and was at Harvard, at Memorial Hall. They even hired a strip tease artist to perform for us.”While Harvard provided strippers to entertain their male undergraduates in the 1950s, Harvard House Masters strictly regulated how men entertained women in the dormitories. For the Class of 1956, parietals—the hours when women were allowed in male dormitories—restricted how they interacted with the opposite sex. According to the rules, women could be in male...

...killing their female relatives for perceived immoral behavior - punishable by life in prison. But a growing number of female suicides in southeastern Turkey, the country's poorest and most conservative region, this year has raised suspicion that women are now being forced to kill themselves to spare their male relatives a jail term. In the province of Batman (pop. 500,000) hospital records show there have been 31 attempted female suicides this year, already more than last year's total, and five women have died, although the total number of actual suicides is impossible to document.
