...spending so much time playing hide and seek with weapons inspectors and raving about the destruction of the “Zionist regime” and “American empire,” Ahmadinejad does himself the benefit of deflecting attention away from his increasingly horrifying treatment of his own people. In a report by Human Rights Watch and the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran released last week in order to coincide with his visit, the groups remind us that “reaching a resolution of the nuclear standoff should not come at the expense...
...transgender life: men who want to change outward gender wait an average of 10 years longer to transition than women, according to the new article by Schilt and Wiswall. "MTFs attempt to preserve their male advantage at work for as long as possible," they write, "whereas FTMs may seek to shed their female gender identity more quickly."

There's no attempt to wink at the camera...
...least for the moment, there just might be that perfect storm of trends that could compel students—at least in the Classes of 2009 and 2010—to seek out the options that Faust urged upon us before the Street imploded. And there’s some evidence that we are: Officials from Teach for America, the national teacher-placing service that has made significant inroads on elite campuses, report that the number of students turning in applications by the first deadline skyrocketed. Peace Corps administrators report an uptick in applicants, as do graduate schools...
