But then he appeared at least to bend that promise in a conference call with G.O.P. leaders, when he strategized about the content and timing of the statements they would put out. Congressman John Boehner joined in by cell phone from Florida; a scanner picked up the chat, and it was recorded by a local couple.

...think I will be content with finding my female role models in the ordinary places--in my family and among my roommates and friends. If I need a female role model in my field, I can always go back and visit my high school economics teacher. Otherwise, I will keep doing what I have always done here at college: enjoying all that my male professors have to offer while making sure I sift through the course catalog to find a class taught by a woman, and pushing for more women faculty hiring.
