It didn’t seem strange to anyone that some of these empowered, independent women, singled out purely for their sex, had felt shattered by his words. And many found it perfectly reasonable that, despite the lack of any apparent danger, the police should be called upon to take action, to come down hard on this creep, and stop...
...that “Molecules and Medicine” is the book you’ll want to read before bed. (If it is, however, you should be concentrating in chemistry.)

That person is often Justine Lam, the Texas Republican's slim, soft-spoken "eCampaign" director. "It's hugely popular," says Lam, 28. "You just have to be careful not to nod your head.
