...survey also found that more Americans not only experimented with drugs, but also tended to try pot and cocaine for the first time at a younger age compared with people in other countries. Just over 20% of Americans reported trying pot by age 15 and nearly 3% had tried cocaine by the same age. Those percentages jumped to 54% and 16%, respectively, by age 21. That finding isn't surprising, says Dr. Richard Schottenfeld, a professor of psychiatry and a drug expert at the Yale University School of Medicine, since peer influence has a significant impact on the prevalence...
Barr's moderation may keep him from tapping into Ron Paul's base, which rallied around its candidate for one of the most uncompromising campaigns in recent memory. In an interview in his congressional office, Paul told me there's a reason he had so much success, particularly with younger voters. "They're idealistic. They like consistency.

...researchers Juhee Kim and Karen Peterson found that about 55% of infants were regularly cared for by people other than their parents - in other words, relatives or professionals at a child-care facility.

"You see my girl here", Mao Ce gestures to his young girlfriend sitting across the table. "She is only a little younger than me, 20-years-old, but already between her and her friends and me and my friends there is a huge difference. They are much...
Still, Oxford and Cambridge have high profiles and good names that won't do either any harm in reaching their targets. And their younger rivals are boosting their own names on the global stage. Imperial College, which celebrated its centenary last year, aims to pull in $410 million by 2010 to improve its campuses and bolster scholarships. Across town at the LSE, workmen are putting the finishing touches to an eight-story teaching facility, financed from the $200 million whip-round among alumni and other donors completed in March...
