...country and the multitude of ways in which women have had to fight to get equal opportunities to compete—for Yale’s first female rowers, this meant walking sweaty and chilled into the athletic director’s office and stripping off their shirts to reveal the words “Title IX” painted across their bare breasts, in order to demand equal funding for women’s rowing. I challenge the networks to help us face this history, one which thankfully is rarely so explicitly repeated in collegiate athletic departments today...
...sings, “Life is too short / To be a fool / I don’t owe you that / Do what you feel / Whatever is cool / But I just have to ask / Will you make a plan to love me?” These moments reveal him for what in part, he is: a young, emotional musician who just needs a little lovin’.

But after promising to stop taking drugs (although not alcohol), and signing a written pledge to submit to drug testing, she received...
...indicator, but an imperfect one. Adolescents and people in their early 20s are not famous for good judgment and sober reflection. Indeed, recent neurological studies reveal that the brain doesn't even finish laying down all its wiring until deep into the second decade of life - far beyond the babyhood years in which scientists once believed this basic work got done. "Adolescents tend to take more risks in general and tend to be more impulsive," says psychologist William Pollack, of McLean Hospital in Boston. "Boys [especially] are socialized into the idea that such behavior...
