Bates and his Edinburgh colleagues drew their conclusions after looking at survey data of 973 pairs of adult twins. They found that, on average, a pair of identical twins shared more personality traits than a pair of non-identical twins.

...Championship prize and the NCAA Championship,” Kessler said. “That’s all I’m gunning for right now.”For Kessler, the most significant aspect of the shutout was that it indicated a return to normalcy after a pair of tough weekends for the Harvard netminder. Kessler—who has a 0.93 goals against average—had allowed two scores in each of her last four games. Her struggles were amplified by a sore knee that kept her out of practice on several occasions, throwing...
