Men tend to spend more on jewelry (including watches) than women...
...writer who knows his subject--L.A.--but needs characters to animate it. That doesn't take long: strong-willed women keep showing up unbidden in his room, removing their clothes, tangling him in their sad fates.

Unfortunately, when Harvard undergraduates publicly air ignorant and offensive beliefs, we tend to give them far more slack than they deserve. For some of us, it appears, loyalty to Harvard comes before responsibility to the broader community. Dewey attacked the queer community, but sadly, many Harvardians seem to think that the fact that he is a member of the Harvard community...
