Birth control and condom sales will experience an increase around the city: The New York Times looks at the recent trend of adult children coming to live back at home (which seems to accompany parents continuing to support their children into their, eek, mid 30s). The NY Post, in a story about how city schools seem to be focused on the attractiveness of bulletin boards over the increasing school violence, has this picture of Lt.
