...always someone who is smarter should not be taken too seriously. How brainy could these kids really be? FM puts five representatives from the 48 inductees to the test: 1. What’s the capital of Suriname? Taylor M. Owings ’08: “I mean I can Google it, but I’m going to go ahead and just be honest and say that I’ve never heard of that country.” 2. What’s the deepest lake in the world? Tony D. Qian...
...back-room staples of your local video store have helped to fuel the booming business of pornography, providing hours of sticky satisfaction to everyone from your HistB TF (have fun in section) to your suitemate (a tie on the door doesn’t always mean there are visitors).

Arab leaders who sought peace with Israel, such as King Abdullah I of Jordan and Anwar Sadat of Egypt, were...
...good professor has ignored that the visage she describes as the “’fuck me’ look” might mean exactly what it seems—that a woman just wants to have sex. While a society devoid of meaningful sex would be troubling, Dines dares to deny women agency to make that choice. Some porn may be gross, but it has not caused a cultural pandemic. On the contrary, one could argue that it is the loosening of sexual mores—female and male—that has given...
