...much for the College’s ongoing efforts to ensure our mental and physical well-being. Kim Airs, sex boutique owner and speaker at the Radcliffe Union of Students’ recent orgasm seminar, suggested two weeks ago that Harvard may be supplying students with condoms of dubious durability, The Crimson reported. Her claim: Lifestyles condoms barely meet federal safety guidelines. Is that true? University Health Services says no, but when it comes to such matters, better to trust no one. Armed with a physics concentrator’s toolbox, a faucet, a few free-weights, and a gang...
Vagina puppet in hand, Kim Airs, owner of the sexuality boutique “The Grand Opening,” caused more than the usual stimulation at last week’s Female Orgasm Seminar, hosted by the Radcliffe Union of Students.

Police rescued the boy, but not before revealing that the kidnapper had been a close friend of both men.

...everything from punching to "polite conversation and what you should wear in an office." Clients often hire Ding and his students to resolve business disputes that in many countries would be dealt with by the police or resolved in court. He and his crew recently rescued a coal-mine owner in Xi'an who had been kidnapped by a colleague who believed he was owed money. After the rescue, they convinced the victim to make peace with his abductor by paying him $50,000. A real estate developer in Shanghai hired Ding when locals protesting outside his office became...
