From just the title of the story (not to mention my experience from 26 years of marriage), I assumed that the article had to be directed exclusively at women!

As a matter of fact, I got married while I was living in Germany in connection with my job.  My wife and I have two children (a daughter in college majoring in mathematics education, and a son who just graduated from Harvard Law School).  (By contrast, children did not fit into the plans of any of the American women wh...more

Why is this survey written only about males?  In my experience, American women are every bit as promiscuous.  Before I got married (to a non-American woman) at age 32, I had been searching (without success) for sixteen years for an American woman who was not under the impression that "monogamy" was a type of wood..

As John Dean (of Watergate fame) could tell you, the word is spelled "scintilla".

Despite its symmetrical fence distances, artificial turf outfield and infield (except for the sliding pit around each base), and cookie cutter design, I'll always be sentimental about Riverfront Stadium.  I can't deny the classic appeal of the Reds' former park (Crosley Field), which was also within walking distance of...

I admit to the occasional trip to the local tribal casino, but it's never with the expectation of coming out ahead on the casino games themselves.  Most often, it's to stop in at the house race book.  My long-standing preferred diversion has always thoroughbred racing, which has a bigger house "take" off the top, but w...
