...instead of becoming a "mom in drag," the new dad wants to integrate his "guyness" into his life as a father--for example by duct-taping the baby's diaper shut if that's what it takes. That's one of the themes of the new publications and websites devoted to fathering. The best of the bunch is Dads magazine, which in its premiere issue this month includes stories and columns written by fathers on the N word, "the boy code" and how to survive a trip to Disney World. The magazine even sneaks in a cooking column. But Dads...

When Jim Hatem set out to prepare his students at Los Angeles High for this year's academic decathlon, which has become a kind of Super Bowl for brainy high schoolers, he anticipated a rigorous curriculum focused on the three Rs. Instead Hatem, a science teacher and volunteer coach, opened the prepackaged U.S. Academic Decathlon Association study materials and was stunned to discover bizarre questions asking, for example, what year the daughter of jazz great Charlie Parker died (1955). "This crap is the antithesis of everything education's supposed to be," Hatem fumes. Says Mark Johnson, who coached Los Angeles...
