Part of the inspiration for Lesser Life grew out of her own agonies in juggling career and motherhood while teaching economics at Barnard College in the 1970s.

Visually, the revamped paper is a kaleidoscope of brightly inked boxes, outsize color photos and bold black headlines; editorially, it is terse and feisty, especially in its newly argumentative opinion pages. To the potential disappointment of some readers, however, there will be no cheesecake-or beefcake. Says British-born Editor in Chief Peter O'Sullivan, 34: "The 'Sunshine Girl' has a certain, if you will pardon the expression, grab appeal for the Sun, a tabloid dependent on street sales.
