...lawyers eyed it as a potential client. Rose hadn't done any work for McDougal since an ill-fated 1981 suit involving Madison Bank & Trust, when McDougal had been so annoyed by Rose's handling of the case that he refused to pay its bill. Hillary thought a direct appeal to McDougal would work, which prompted a 1983 letter to McDougal from Rose's chief executive. Though Hillary herself hadn't worked on the 1981 matter (Vince Foster was the partner in charge), the letter indicates she tried to collect the $5,893 account receivable. Despite Hillary's ties...
Nearly 140 years after Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, that message still has remarkably broad appeal. Polls consistently show that nearly half of all Americans reject Darwin's theory of evolution. They prefer to believe, against all scientific evidence, the Old Testament account of how God created the world in seven days...

The social appeal enjoyed by Harvard men does not extend to Harvard's women. A Harvard woman is not, shall we say, a guy magnet...
...arrive at a dead end. We have two choices--either to assert ourselves as independent, self-respecting, intelligent women or to strip ourselves of this integrity with the hope of attaining social appeal to men. It used to seem we were heading toward an era in which these two elements could be fused, in which we would not have to make a choice. If our intellectual abilities are not desirable to Harvard men, then we can assume they are equally if not more disadvantageous elsewhere. If at Harvard we are not surrounded by men who attribute great value to female...
