This will come as little surprise to most parents: Children who have older brothers tend to become more aggressive than those with older sisters, according to a new study.
Sorry, Larry and Judy; it's all biology. You probably won't like this, either:
I thought my generation was going to end up being the most arrogant and self-indulgent one in history. Glad to know I was wrong. I guess:
Everybody makes mistakes, including journalists. I've made my share, but nothing quite like this doozy in Indiana University's student newspaper:

Chivalry is not dead. It's just been keeping its head down for a bit. And who can blame it when the line between courtliness and condescension has become so blurred?

Before they leave for Iraq, thousands of troops with the 101st Airborne Division line up at laptop computers to take a test: basic math, matching numbers and symbols, and identifying patterns. They press a button quickly to measure response time.

Drivers waste nearly an entire work week each year sitting in traffic on the way to and from their jobs, according to a national study released Tuesday.
