During my high school years, YM and Seventeen magazines were a vital source of information, and they often included special pullout sections revealing the essentials every girl had to know before, during and after the deed.

It cannot help weakening his sputtering efforts to reform the country's social schemes. And before the AOM saga is over, the baron may find that he has lost something far more valuable than a $40 million investment: his reputation as a phenomenally successful entrepreneur. Lady Luck can be a fickle partner indeed...
