...their part, the Moores say that while they plan to call more boycotts, they also want to offer positive messages. They've launched a Pinkstinks seal of approval for retailers that aren't bogged down in the girly swamp. And a sister website, www.cooltobe.me, seeks kids' views on who their role models should be and highlights adult women's achievements in an effort to show girls the opportunities that are open to them. Emma Moore says she's growing more determined as she sees her 7-year-old beginning to worry about her looks and weight. "I'm definitely motivated...

Although colleges are in part to blame for accepting athletic prodigies with the knowledge that they will leave after one year—taking them for athletic success and not academic potential—they are not the root of this issue. As backward as it may sound, the NBA should re-allow players to enter the league directly from high school.

...Russian media to the notorious "black widows" of the North Caucasus. These are the women who have carried out a string of suicide bombings in Russia in recent years, most notably in 2004, when they struck two passenger planes taking off from Moscow, killing 89 people. They also took part in the Moscow theater siege of 2002 that claimed more than 100 lives. Their motivation, investigators say, is often revenge for the deaths of male relatives at the hands of Russian security forces. Giorgberidze, who renounces terrorist attacks against civilians as unjustifiable, said the pain these women have suffered over...
