CBS Cares has a special message for ladies - and the men who love them. Get a pap smear, or schedule one for a woman you care about. Nice sentiment, but this is a recipe for serious present face. [CBS]Ask Amy To Rape Victim: "First, You Were A Victim Of Your Own Awful Judgment"
In her latest column, advice columnist Amy Dickinson says she hopes a letter from one of her readers "will be posted on college bulletin boards everywhere." After reading Dickinson's advice for said reader, I sincerely hope this isn't the case. More »Polanski Pays His Way Out Of Prison
