...would argue passionately for my son's foreskin. Francis Crick and Jonas Salk were among the Nobel laureates who signed a petition to the World Court to end circumcision. The last week of March was Genital Integrity Awareness Week, which included a march from the White House to the Capitol, which, while not far in miles, is an eternity when measured in baby foreskins. This cause is so real, it has its own ribbon. There's even a group called Jews Against Circumcision, made up almost exclusively of Jews whose parents no longer talk to them.

Cal muscles in on Della's story because in college he was close to the budding politician - and even closer to Stephen's wife, Anne (Robin Wright Penn). As Cal and Della form an uneasy alliance...
...Timing: The Defense Secretary dropped his bombshells at the start of a two-week congressional recess. The lack of lawmakers in Washington muted the outrage that would have exploded had all 535 of them been hanging around the Capitol surrounded by cameras and reporters. Not that that has entirely stopped all the rhetoric, including many critics' bogus claim that Gates is shrinking the overall Defense budget. By canceling the Air Force's prized F-22 fighter, Gates "is willing to sacrifice the lives of American military men and women for the sake of domestic programs favored by President Obama," said...
