Still, I knew this decision was going to be made now or never, so I started asking every medical professional, woman and gay man what kind of penis they preferred, which, to my shock, got me a lot of dinner invitations. Though there seemed to be a slight aesthetic preference for not wearing a hat and a slight functional preference for keeping one on, no one had a really good argument for giving your baby plastic surgery. A pediatrician told me the sole reason he circumcised his son was so that the kid looked like him. If my son looks...
...Deeply troubling and extremely questionable, this recent development suggests that the administration is not at all serious about rethinking what ought to constitute a liberal education. The Program for General Education, finalized nearly two years ago, is a comically slight permutation of the Core Curriculum: Quantitative Reasoning becomes Empirical and Mathematical Reasoning, Moral Reasoning becomes Ethical Reasoning, Foreign Cultures becomes Societies of the World, and so on.

Lifetime heroin use among 16-to-18-year-olds fell from 2.5% to 1.8% (although there was a slight increase in marijuana use in that age group). New HIV infections in drug users fell by 17% between 1999 and 2003, and deaths related to heroin and similar drugs were cut by more than half.

One minute into the third period, Motschwiller drove past his defender on the left wing and scored on a diving shot...
...passing resemblance to other classic political thrillers such as “The Manchurian Candidate” and “The Pelican Brief,” but it still achieves a number of effective plot twists.“State of Play” does make a slight attempt to situate itself in the current political climate. Characters throw phrases around such as “privatization of homeland security,” but these references are liminal at best. The possibility of making a political statement exists but is ultimately fruitless. Rather, the real commentary...
