Still, the research suggests it gets harder with age. A French study published in the current issue of Reproductive BioMedicine Online found that in couples undergoing infertility treatment, the father's age had as much effect as the mother's on rates of pregnancy and miscarriage - the older either parent was, the less likely they were to get pregnant, and the more likely to miscarry. Other studies have found similar trends: on average, it will take longer than a year to conceive for 8% of couples in which the man is younger than 25; that percentage nearly doubles...
School shootings are among the most shocking acts of violence in modern America, and yet the one question asked by every parent and survivor--Why?--has rarely been systematically approached. Fast, a professor of social work at Yeshiva University, examines five case studies from 1974 to 1999--spending most of his time on 1999's Columbine massacre--hoping to figure out what drives young perpetrators to mass murder.

...gender, calling her "a devoted wife and mother of five." Palin's husband and five children, the latest of whom was born just months ago, followed her out onto the podium. Moments after the rally had ended, Palin offered her first interview to People magazine [which shares the same parent company, TIME Inc., as Time], which boasts an overwhelmingly female readership. "What I've had to do, though, is in the middle of the night, put down the Blackberries and pick up the breast pump--do a couple of things different and still get it all done," she told...
