Yet, even I, a Bay Area, Berkeley-educated liberal, had initial reservations about requirements for companies to recruit women for their corporate boards. To me, something about quotas felt “un-American.” I worried that the legitimacy of every female executive would be called into question, as her co-workers doubted whether she deserved her board seat at all, or rather was there to meet a legal requirement. And as general counsel of a pre-IPO startup, I certainly didn’t want to see yet another law that would increase the compliance burden....

We are a generation beset by setbacks, and there may be nothing more illustrative of this dilemma than housing.

The Air Sununu Flap

John Sununu went to Washington to play the tough-cop role for George Bush, and even his enemies think he deserves an Oscar for it.

Returning after many years, Anna includes him in her litany of hatred for men. Richardson captures the poignance and curdled sweetness of Anna, but not the archetypal force that would help O’Neill’s 1921 Pulitzer Prize winner transcend its status as a period piece....
