QuestionDear Allison,From the scientific standpoints that I have heardit seems that boxers are the best way to go.  As Iunderstand it, the theory goes that briefs tend tohold things too close together, thus generatingand retaining a large amount of heat.  This inturn causes a reduced level of sperm production,which can result in reduced fertility.  Boxers,meanwhile, allow a lower overall temperature tobe maintained for optimum sperm production.  Atleast that was the argument, anyway.  PersonallyI have always worn boxers because I found them tobe comfortable (imagine using something for that!),and sort of a bit more cultured?  (probably notthe word I am looking for but I don't have athesaurus handy).  Have you heard anything aboutthis fertility story, or any opinions?

QuestionAllison you are very clever and pretty (did you get the wig at Rosa's New Looks, Columbus Ave?); but come on, it seems rather un-wired for you folks to present some digitized hotty-knock-off of a three penny come on via the pages of Details.

QuestionDear Allison, you say that you know eveything, I will tell my problem to you. I am a graduate student and I succesfully completed the last semester. I worked very hard and got good marks. One of my project team mate claimed me to the judicial program. I got a letter from the university( from admissions), they would like to talk to me about the claim. As I understood in one of the homeworks we individually submitted to the theacher ( only one page of 20) is logically the same. We worked together a lot. I trusted him. He is older than me( he is 30 I am 23 ). No body forced him to help me. He is saying that I copied that page from his home page from our network. Not more than 15 people are using the network. I know that i didn't do something like that. When i got this letter from the adnmissions I went ot the admissions and talked with the director. And then I spoke with my friend who claimed me, what is interesting is that he didn't want to claim me  but that my theacher ( of that class) wanted to claim me but told him that he diddn't want to do this, and told him that it is proper for him to do this. My friend addvised me to go and speak with the theacher. The theacher was away from the country. when he came I spoke with him. And he told me that it's not him who claimed me but the student. Infact if he would like to claim me he could have done it. My friend lied to me> In a couple of days we are going for a resolution with the some mebers of the admission. this thing can ruin all my life. How shall i act In that meeting, what shall i say?
