...first computer in 1988, when our youngest son was 4, and it was love at first sight. He's now 24 and works as a software developer.

With the right parental support, you never know how far a child's early fascination can take him. Barbara Kelsey, Crystal Lake, Illinois...

While Harvard women spent their high school careers trying not to intimidate too many men with their intellects, Harvard men spent theirs making women swoon with their massive, girthy arrays of knowledge. Arriving at Harvard demanded adjustment. For if Harvard men are not intimidated by Harvard women’s intellects, Harvard women are not excessively impressed by the intellects of Harvard...
