A study analyzing the effectiveness of Saving Sex for Later, appears in the new issue of Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. According to the authors, my collaborators at EDC, “Saving Sex for Later is a promising intervention for promoting youths’ sexual abstinence. The intervention may also be effective in enhancing positive parenting practices among parents who are typically difficult to reach because of economic hardship, full schedules and complicated lives.” If you’d like more information about Saving Sex for Later, contact Lydia O’Donnell at EDC at lo’donnell@edc.org.

Court TV Broadcast Tonight – Behind the Mask
Tonight at 10 pm EST Court TV will broadcast “Behind the Mask,” a new one hour documentary that I produced about the Aryan Republican Army, a gang of notorious white supremacist bank robbers. The film is part of Court TV’s Investigators series. The ARA robbed twenty banks across the mid-west in the mid 1990s in an attempt to finance the violent overthrow of the United States government. The leader of the gang, Peter Langan, was, in addition to being a bank robber, a pre-operative transsexual, an identity that he concealed from his fellow gang members. The gang produced a remarkable documentary about themselves, portions of which are excerpted in my film.
