...Kaze Shindo's first film Love/Juice, an am-I-or-aren't-I lesbian story that won her Rookie of the Festival award in Berlin three weeks ago. Interesting territory even for Japan: two roommates, lesbian photographer Chinatsu (Okuno Mika) and friend Kyoko (Chika Fujimura), do drugs, sleep and brush teeth together. Chinatsu quickly falls in love with Kyoko. They kiss and touch one another - Chinatsu shows the uninitiated Kyoko how to masturbate - but the latter recoils from physical love. A stronger movie would have started where this one leaves off, but it's a compact, spare tale shot...
David Oriani, today a sophomore at the University of Rhode Island, was a 13-year-old public school seventh-grader when the bullying began. "At first, I tried to brush it off," he remembers. "But it got worse. I got beat up every day and couldn't take it. I'd fake being sick. My grades slipped." David's parents, having learned of his travails, went to school administrators.

That said, local issues should not be abandoned entirely. The Crimson would lose its relevance if it did not comprehensively cover Harvard events.

But they should also know that their vice president is sick and that, in spite of the fact that the east coast of Florida will be experiencing five sunny days...
...your children," she said. "But personally? I don't particularly care who cleans my toilets. I don't feel ennobled by that job." Of course, Folbre has done it enough to know it's hard, honest work you can be proud of doing well. Kids armed with a scrub brush will learn too. But for you, the ennobling work may be chores like baking with children or helping an ailing neighbor with yard work. Folbre had a special message for parents of daughters: Think twice before teaching them that housework is an essential part of their future. You want...
...true that osteoporosis strikes women with much greater frequency than men--in some studies as much as four to six times as often. But that's no reason to brush it off as "their" disease. It's a mere stroke of gender luck that men's bones tend to grow larger, stronger and denser. Also paying dividends are those sports that boys (and, increasingly, girls) play as children--running up and down basketball courts, soccer fields and baseball diamonds. As it happens, physical activity is one of the more important ways to increase bone density and protect bone health...
