...corner to see a stripper - at least, I think she was a stripper - with a shirt that read 'Go F___ Yourself,' and she had a 2-year-old kid in one of those child harnesses that looked like a dog leash," says Adam. They turned another corner and saw a guy with a ZZ Top beard...
...read that you've been doing stand-up since you were a teenager. The very first time I ever went onstage was the week before my 18th birthday.

...data are now convincing enough to spur large policy changes. The Lancet study, for example, found that investment in active labor-market programs like welfare-to-work reduces the effect of unemployment on suicide rates. This link is displayed in Scandinavian countries with strong welfare programs. Finland, for example, saw suicide rates drop steadily between 1990 and 1993 despite a 13% rise in unemployment. Sweden saw a drop in suicides during a recession in 1992. "What we found was that when spending on active labor-market programs exceeded $190 per head per year, rises in unemployment had no adverse effect...
