...gender issues to form a broader perspective, said Susan Yao ’09, one of the event planners. “It’s important for us to explicitly be open to all genders,” she added. The clips and the discussion were intended to portray a selection of stereotypes commonly associated with Harvard men: from smooth talkers to anti-social geniuses to wealthy legacies whose last names appear on buildings across campus. The discussion centered around the stereotypes and expectations of the Harvard man, and threw up several hotly debated issues, as students discussed what...
...path of love never did run smooth. But for Ciara and the now mole-free Enrique, the path is rougher than most could bear. Not them though. Their smoldering good looks match the steamy melodrama of this video, in which the pair portray unlikely but vengeful lovers busy at work destroying the interior of their home.

Psychiatric evaluations of Suleman portray a well-mannered but very depressed and anxious woman who reported severe lower-back pain, which limited her ability to pick up her 15-lb. baby without first sitting down. She also had difficulty sleeping. Wrote one doctor: "Since the birth of her baby, she has become very fearful that...
...hard to fuckin’ tell.” Biggie himself would probably tell you that he wasn’t a great man so much as he was a great rapper. At least the filmmakers chose a rapper—if not a great one—to portray Wallace. Jamal Woolard, a.k.a. Gravy, brings weight to the role (he gained 100 pounds to equal the heft of 300-plus-pounder Biggie) if not always the proper gravitas. And while he may not have Wallace’s deep voice or charisma, he often nails the cadences of Biggie?...
