Health care providers don’t talk enough to their patients about sex. Sometimes, that’s because they’re uncomfortable talking about the issue or because their appointments are too short.

If I build a car that is far more dangerous than other cars, don’t do any safety testing, release it, and it ultimately leads to people getting killed, I will probably be held liable and have to pay damages, if not criminal penalties. If I build a search engine that (unlike Google) has as the […] Read more ›

For more than a decade, American parents have been trying to be more like the French.
