...location of the bunkers and how the greens were shaped resonated with my prior experience.” A. W. Tillinghast designed the Flourtown course in 1922, which is renowned for its history as part of the oldest country club in the U.S. and also feared for its difficult par-4s, 9 and 18. “The 18th hole is really tough coming in. It’s a long par 4 and gave a lot of people problems coming in,” junior Nick Moseley confirmed. “The course has very subtle greens...
...circumcision is no cure, and no substitute for safe-sex measures such as using condoms. Millett's analysis found that in studies conducted before 1996 - before the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy - circumcision was associated with a statistically significant 53% reduction in H.I.V.-transmission risk, which is on par with the 48% to 60% reduction in infection rates reported by the 2007 trials in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda that studied heterosexual men.

...scenes involving her lover, Earl Grey. Ralph Fiennes, her philandering husband, gives a skilled performance as the selfish and inattentive Lord of Devonshire. He and Knightley make a convincingly unhappy couple onscreen. Even the aristocratic British accent—often hard to do well–is right on par. Half the fun of watching the movie is seeing the lavishly overdone costumes. The sets ooze 18th century opulence. The dinner party scene—shown in the movie’s trailer—encapsulates the splendor enjoyed by 18th century British aristocrats with its bejeweled guests and ornately...
