Early bird catches the A's

Posted By Max Brantley on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 10:56 AM

Time magazine reports on research -- including a study at Hendrix College -- into whether night owls or morning people ("larks") score better grades. At Hendrix, the study found night-owls had lower grades than early birds. That was certainly my college experience -- late nights, mediocre grades. But as I've aged, I"ve lapped myself. I used to stay up until 5 a.m. Now that's when I get up.

Wait! Postpone tax reform and everything else for a while longer because the Senate is going to try to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act one more time before September ends and while it can do it with the votes of only 50 senators.
Sex on campus

Look, the Great Campus Rape Crisis was mainly hype all along. What Vice President Joe Biden described as an epidemic of sexual violence sweeping American college campuses in 2011 was vastly overstated.
