...equalizing of math scores may reflect the simple fact that more female students are now taking math courses, says Hyde, whose study, funded by the National Science Foundation, appears in the current issue of Science. In Hyde's earlier research in the 1990s, she found that girls and boys scored similarly on math tests in elementary school, but that by high school the boys were overtaking the girls. Why? Because somewhere along the way, girls stopped taking math and never learned the skills required to do well on standardized tests. Today, girls are increasingly sticking with math classes through school...
...question is, why? In your own film, why leave an impression of Smith and Carlos that doesn't reflect your view of the truth? Norman says he wanted to honor Peter, who considered Smith and Carlos his best mates. But in person, he seems angry on his uncle's behalf. In his view, his uncle is being edited out of history, and Smith and Carlos haven't done enough to stop it. In 2005, a statue of the scene on the Mexico City dais was erected at the Americans' alma mater, San José State University, California - without Norman...
These figures reflect the experience of hundreds of thousands of military personnel who have known bisexual, gay and lesbian colleagues. In practice, many gays serve openly, or nearly so. I have a friend who enlisted in the Army after the Iraq war began and who currently serves in Korea. I'll call him Stephen.

Rogers responded that Baptists can believe what they wish, ''but those who work for us ought to reflect what the great majority of us want taught.'' The moderates intend to keep fighting on, convinced, as one put it, that ''religious dictatorship cannot halt biblical scholarship.'' Moore insists that when lay Baptists realize what is happening, ''you're going to see a sure-enough rising-up.'' But time...
...Nicaraguan port of Corinto. That the Sandinistas were receiving weapons made in the U.S.S.R. or East bloc countries was nothing new. But for the past 18 months, such shipments had been sent to Cuba and subsequently picked up by Nicaraguan vessels. The resumption of direct deliveries may reflect a new and unsettling boldness on Moscow's part. In the midst of the Administration's warnings about the Nicaraguan threat, a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee released a report by the General Accounting Office, Congress's independent investigative unit, which presented dismaying evidence that much of the $27 million in nonlethal...
