    “I do find it sad that not more women are encouraged to embrace marriage and family. I have many single women friends, now in their mid and late 30s, who now feel the clock ticking but have all but resigned themselves to being alone for the rest of their lives.” Such was the response I recently received

    The Dictatorship of the Young0

    The end of every semester confronts the college instructor with an indignity: reading student “evaluations” of his performance.
