...including one about Chang herself-are in the works. The first, a documentary called Nanking, premiered at Sundance in January and will be screened at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in late March. It tells the story of a handful of American and European expatriates who established a neutral safety zone to protect some 200,000 Nanjing residents during the conflict. The film is the brainchild of Ted Leonsis, vice chairman of AOL (which, like TIME, is owned by Time Warner), who had chanced upon Chang's obituary in a yellowing newspaper while on holiday in the Caribbean...

The article also incorrectly quoted John C. “Curt” Rogers as saying that the definition of domestic violence is "heterosexist."

The problem of insufficient gender-neutral housing will not be alleviated by prioritizing the interests of transgender students over the rest of the student body. Apart from the fact that doing so would be unfair?...
...Standard Version of the Bible, the touchstone for those on the liberal side of the biblical-text wars; in Princeton, N.J. A graceful linguist and world authority on translating the New Testament from the original Greek, he aimed to create a more modern, accessible text. Among its revisions: gender-neutral language, the elimination of thees and thous, and syntactical shifts to avoid confusion in meaning. A sentence that Metzger's team edited as "Once I received a stoning," for example, had previously read, "Once I was stoned...
