After the election, she and her husband, a British businessman whom she met on a flight from Denver to Chicago in 1997, are planning a cross-country drive with Henry to the Rockies, but she imagines staying in Washington for work in one form or another. And so far, she seems able to take the lumps. "I have grown a thicker skin than I had when I came to Washington," she says...
...private dining room in Manhattan's timelessly tony 21 Club is packed with more than 60 CEOs, corporate presidents and managing partners.

The action forced millions of French commuters to drive, cycle, walk, or roller-blade to work as public transport systems in nearly 30 French cities were hit by strikes of varying severity. Such self-reliance wasn't an option for users of inter-city and cross-country train service: state rail company SNCF canceled a whopping 95% of scheduled traffic, and remains the most vulnerable to continued striking as union members prepared to vote on whether to renew the movement.
