Surprisingly, drinking had little impact on the results. Both drinkers and nondrinkers tended to favor the 15-year-old girls over the older ones, and when asked to estimate the younger girls' age, both groups of participants judged them to be just over 18 - or, just over the legal age for sex in the U.S. (The one condition under which drinkers preferred the 19-year-old faces was when they were wearing makeup, which has the effect of smoothing out wrinkles and granting a younger appearance - a finding that won't come as a great surprise to any woman...
...though he's now of legal drinking age, Efron is 17 again. Not that it's a stretch for him to play someone four years younger. He still has the mop top, the downy skin and the sensuous sanctity of the boy every mother wants her daughter to bring home - if he weren't dating his dimpled co-star from High School Musical, Vanessa Hudgens.

While the grey slate tables and metal barstools work well with the overall minimalist aesthetic, comfortable is not the adjective that immediately comes to mind—the banquettes against one wall are so rigid they’d cure scoliosis.

...Marketing firms are not the only ones who seem to have mistaken a wild stalk-and-ambush predator for an actual person. This image of an aggressively sexual older woman who pounces on younger men pervades our media. Spurred by the marriage of then-42-year-old Demi Moore to then-27-year-old heartthrob Ashton Kutcher, cougar mania swept Hollywood at the start of the millennium and engulfed both fictional characters (Samantha Jones, the seminal cougar of “Sex and the City” fame) and real-life women (most recently, Madonna, age 50, and her barely...
...play out on Capitol Hill is still uncertain. The ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations committee, Indiana's Richard Lugar, is as traditional a conservative as they come, and though he hasn't decided, says an aide, "He always has an inclination in favor of an Administration's pick." Younger members of the committee are on the fence. Bob Corker of Tennessee has been sober in the face of outrage over the International Monetary Fund's use of currency reserves to stabilize the global financial system, a favorite Beck bugaboo. Johnny Isakson of Georgia has an unperturbably conservative view...
