...Harvard, there was a time when she thought she’d rather study acting elsewhere. At the end of her freshman year, she applied and was accepted to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she would have majored in theater. But at her parents?? urging, she remained at Harvard. “I think it actually would have killed me to go to a conservatory where everyone’s just being snotty and competitive and vapid,” she says. “The students here are really serious about theater...
...gauge the stress impact of exposure to violence by testing the levels of cortisol—a hormone that is secreted at higher levels in high-stress situations—in each of the subjects. Suglia and his team took saliva samples in order to compare cortisol levels to parents?? descriptions of their children’s stress levels.

When rejecting his parents?? Catholicism, he writes, “Think about it, Mom. Manifest Destiny, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades. History is stained with the blood of tragic and ultimately silly endeavors of which yours is a microcosm.” Eventually, Grayson becomes more and more cognizant of the fallacies...
