"The scroll on which Jack Kerouac composed "On the Road" 50 years ago was auctioned yesterday at Christie's in Manhattan for $2.4 million, setting the world auction record for a literary manuscript and significantly eclipsing its presale estimate of $1 million to $1.5 million.

The frequent condemnation of masturbation apparently stems from a suprisingly simple mandate: there's safety in numbers. For centuries, all forms of sexual pleasure unlikely to result in population increase have routinely been denounced as wrong."
