...arrested for public masturbation in Cambridge this past April has found himself in trouble with the law yet again—this time, on two charges of rape. Kevin Bennett, 33, was arrested on Oct. 9 near Augusta, Maine with a default warrant from his previous arrest on the Harvard College campus. He has pled not guilty to the charges in Cambridge District Court, and is being held on a $2 million bail. Bennett was arrested in front of the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) in April after a dramatic chase that started with him masturbating in a window visible...
...about an evil computer that impregnates Julie Christie. I should also mention that the computer, whose name is Proteus, uses a bronze metal phallus.Why must we look back in disgusted admiration at such an objectively absurd film?

Yet FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said that, although Cambridge’s rape statistics are impressively low, rape has by no means disappeared. By some measures, in fact, it has worsened nationwide. Although there was a national decline in total crime from...
...traditional home of Islam? There, nine nations, all of them invoking Islam’s Sharia law, punish homosexuality with death; in many of the same states, apostates are still beheaded and women accused of adultery are still stoned to death, even if they have been victims of rape. In that same code of laws, a man may divorce a woman simply—by declaring “I divorce thee” three times—but the same does not hold true for a woman who tries to divorce from her husband. Elsewhere, women are not permitted...
