Your report said many Asian girls like boys to be more stylish. I say this is the beginning of a new era when women want to be more in control, making men their eventual subjects.

Drag says this weather, although mercurial, is nothing out of the ordinary. “The weather right...
...found a relation between overeating and seasonal change. “It was well done, and it found amazingly high correlations between the frequency of binge eating and seasonal variation in the brightness of ambient lighting,” says Kasof. With weeks of dark skies in October and snow before Halloween, the forecast for Cambridge seems bleak. Protest as you will that you need the fat to keep warm, the cold winter months might leave you with a sluggish mile time and a muffin top. But don’t worry. Like a crappy Springfest, you can just blame...
