...supplying students with condoms of dubious durability, The Crimson reported. Her claim: Lifestyles condoms barely meet federal safety guidelines. Is that true? University Health Services says no, but when it comes to such matters, better to trust no one. Armed with a physics concentrator’s toolbox, a faucet, a few free-weights, and a gang of prophylactics (Durex, Trojan, and the suspect Lifestyles), FM decided to get to the bottom of the love-glove travesty. First, we tested our condoms for “resistance” using an “ohmmeter.” Condom experts...
...before polling day. Earlier this month he criticized U.S. policy toward Iran and urged President Bush to "take the military option off the table. We've already seen that it doesn't work." csu campaigner Spreng doubts this tactic will sway voters a second time. Schröder's "toolbox is empty," he says.

But beware: some models stick to the wall with tape or pins that leave holes or marks that are just as annoying to cover up as pencil. Look for levels that mount with a suction...
...nation's first M.B.A. President, Bush took to the White House a businessman's case-study training rather than a lawyer's conceptual toolbox. But if a concept will solve a problem, he can embrace it with a convert's passion. Once he was convinced that phonics worked, he put the reading theory at the center of his Texas education plan. A similar thing happened on the way to war. In that case the concept was the neoconservatives' largely academic belief in the transforming power of freedom in the Middle East. The neocons' vision to remake the world...
