A FIRST: DON'T LET IT DIE


There are more boys born than girls. Under 5, there are almost 500,000 more boys. This number keeps decreasing and at 30, there are fewer men than women. The Federal Government has established 5 commissions on Women's Health and, while a Men's Health commission has been proposed before, it never survived, and with it, many men didn't survive who might have been helped by its passage. On Valentine's Day, 52 members of the House of Representatives started the ball rolling again. It's up to you, now. MORE

WHERE THE BOYS ARE


The 2/01 issue asks "Is America shortchanging male children?" "We used to think that the schools shortchanged girls; now the news is that schools are waging a war against boys," says psychologist Judith Kleinfeld. "Neither view is right." Cathy Young, author of Ceasefire, reports. MORE

THE HAND OF DEATH


No other place on earth has been as devastated by the AIDS virus as southern Africa. This is the story of what happens when a disease infects not just individuals but entire societies-swallowing families, communities and hopes, and raising the question of whether the rest of the world's reluctance to do more against this modern curse amounts to an enormous crime against humanity. MORE

SEX WITH ONE WOMAN (MY WIFE)


In the February Special Issue. Fifteen years in the marriage bed. This is what it feels like, that deepest nexus of emotion and desire. The issue also carries the Desire Survey: Who's likelier to cheat, husbands or wives? What do men and women desire in a partner? What would women most like to try in bed?  And, the readers respond.

HOW TO AVOID SHARK ATTACKS


Is it a turtle? Is it a seal? No, it's a bleached-hair dude on a board waiting to be a shark's lunch. The 2/01 issue of Front lists 7 ways to Avoid a Shark Attack. MORE

WHAT NOT TO SAY


Most women have been exposed to some of the worst pickup lines men can say. What you think might be the most clever come-on that'll instantly make her give up the digits might just be the lamest thing she's ever heard. Take it from those who have heard - what not to say to a woman you want to get next to. MORE

KELLOGG'S PROMOTES SPOUSAL ABUSE 


The current television commerecial, which ran 1/22 on Oprah, shows a woman hitting a man in the back of the head with a box of Special K. No big deal?

Wonder if anyone beside us will complain. www.kelloggs.com (click on "contact us") or call 800.962.1413 or write Kellogg Consumer Affairs, PO Box CAMB, Creek, MI 49016

ACTS OF STUPIDITY 


Subway surfing is back in vogue among New York thrill seekers. Clinging to the roof of a train as it hurtles through the city is pure lunacy that often ends up as blood on the tracks.

WHAT IF CIGARETTE ADS TOLD THE TRUTH?
