MICHAEL REYNOLDS / EPAMarine Corps First Lieutenant Agustin Solivan briefs members of the news media at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, near the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, Virginia on March 22, 2013. The double-murder suicide at the Quantico Marine base 35 miles south of Washington comes as a shock. It stuns, not only because one Marine apparently used a gun to kill two others, and then himself, but because the nation counts on its highly-trained armed forces – with the emphasis on armed – to use its weapons only in carefully prescribed ways.
Morals: The Second Sexual Revolution
MORALS (See Cover) The Orgone Box is a half-forgotten invention of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich, one of Sigmund Freud’s more brilliant disciples, who in his middle years turned into an almost classic specimen of the mad scientist.

Play-Doh - History's Best Toys: All-TIME 100 Greatest Toys
Play-Doh is one of those revolutionary toys with surprisingly mundane roots. In the early 1950s, Joe McVicker sent some solid, mashable wallpaper cleaner to a classroom after learning that children often found clay too difficult to handle.

Rosaline Revives a Long-Forgotten Shakespearean Character
The character Rosaline is barely a footnote in the world of Shakespeare: Early in Romeo and Juliet, the ill-fated Montague swain cites Rosaline as his true love, but she has rebuffed him. She’s a Capulet, a member of the Montagues’ enemy clan, which is why he sneaks into a party hosted by the Capulets in the hopes of catching her eye. That’s the soirée at which he meets Juliet—Rosaline’s cousin—and the rest is history, as well as tragedy.
