Dina--

Glad you asked.

I flipped to my Time reference, maybe I picked it up here--March 7, maybe in a newspaper.  I know I found it SOMEWHERE.  I'll read the article more carefully and see if it's there.

However, I have the book by Leonard Sax (mentioned in the Time article) in front of me as I type:  "Why Gender Matters." The particular  reference may be in there. I have only read one chapter, already it has changed MY behavior to one of my male correspondents on a private email list.  No kidding.

I am also going to give it to a graduate student friend, an elementary reading teacher, as a graduation gift.  I think this is a very important book for teachers, or girlfriends, or wives, or husbands, you get the idea, and I wish I had had it in my classroom.  Some of what Dr. Sax suggests I just stumbled into on my own as a teacher, but I sure could have used his help.

The Howard Griffin reference--I also have that book in front of me--date = 1960/1961.  A classic in its time.  People should really read that, too.  The date is important, it was before Freedom Summer, 1964.

Hope this helps.

Andrea
