Gilligan says studies like these have shown how girls' behavior may be different from what was previously perceived as the norm for adolescents. They can "smell bullshit a mile away," says Elizabeth Debold, a fourth-year graduate student who has been involved in many of the Harvard Project's studies...

Wrote the Soviet General Vassili Chuikov: "The enormous city, stretching for 30 miles along the Volga, was enveloped in flames. Everything around was burning and collapsing." Less than two weeks later the Germans rumbled into the western suburbs, and two months of the most ferocious street fighting of the war ensued.
