By Seth Wood | April 18, 2001

Tanning pasty skin proves too costly

By Pallavi Guniganti | April 12, 2001

SELF-HATING white people. You don't often hear about them, but they're out there. Forums like Reflections on Complexions tend to focus on the concerns of minorities, with the implicit understanding that white people are already taken care of.

By Seth Wood | April 11, 2001

IN A DRAMATIC fashion, Tiger Woods won the Masters on Sunday. In so doing, Woods became the first professional golfer ever to win four consecutive "major" titles - the PGA Championship, the British Open, the U.S.
