Consparicists take great pleasure in each other. The more everyone else thinks they're crazy, the closer their shared beliefs make them feel to one another. That's why talk radio is such a beautiful medium for conspiracists.

Emma is without inhibitions. She is without embarrassment. She is without shame. Female neuro-typicals could learn a thing or two from Emma. I could learn a thing or two from Emma.

Lola Versus is all like an extended episode of Girls, minus that series' self-lacerating sense of humor. Or any sense of humor.

It's summer reading club time at your local public library, but why should the kids get to have all the fun? We've been combing our shelves for this summer's best reading -- we hope you'll find your next pool, patio, or plane book here.

Snow White and the Huntsman looks great and the actors are fabulous. The film gives us everything that it should: beauty, danger, romance, action, fantasy and a rewarding ending. Of course, this movie isn't breaking new narrative ground -- who expected that?

Though we might like to think that our roles as men and women have become fluid enough to swap Mom for Dad and vice versa, I'm not sure it's quite that easy.

Law schools have always been a route to advancement in America. So it is important that law schools remain a route of advancement for the middle and lower economic classes. But such access is increasingly difficult to come by.

If you are still moving up the ladder of success -- and aspire to be one of those change agents inside business, then listening is more important than talking.

While we should be deeply concerned about the inability of our economy to generate sufficient employment, and most Americans are concerned about the economy, most people do not see a crisis. How do Americans in 2012 feel about their quality of life?

Recent TV programming and box office blockbusters show a land office business underway in fantasy. There has to be some correspondence between the tenor of 21st century American life and this public fascination with entirely fictional worlds.

We owe it to our youth to provide them with the information and resources they need to feel empowered to make responsible decisions about their sexual health.
