...First, Pelosi has long considered media training - the kind that teaches you never to leave your own press conference - a waste of her time. (Her daughter Alexandra Pelosi, a documentary filmmaker, gave up trying to convince her otherwise years ago.) Clearly she should no longer do press conferences unrehearsed. Second, for all her careful planning, Pelosi can be rash, even impetuous, when confronted with a surprise, as she was at her CIA presser. "Her biggest fault? Impatience," says Representative Dennis Cardoza, the only moderate member of Pelosi's leadership team. "She's tenacious. Still, when tenaciousness becomes stubbornness, that becomes...
Azam Taleghani, a political activist and the first woman to have registered as a presidential candidate in 1997, decided not to register this year, though she has done so in previous rounds. As the daughter of one of the revolution's most prominent ayatullahs, she carries a name with religious capital. "I knew that they wouldn't qualify any women, just like they haven't in all previous elections, so there was no point in registering," Taleghani told TIME.

...Kids, whose Duggars espouse a pro-life, Evangelical Christianity. (The dad, Jim-Bob, was an Arkansas legislator and ran for Senate in 2002.)

Watching Jim-Bob criticize Hollywood moviemaking--"It might make money for companies, but it's not good for individuals"--you're staring at the strange no-man's-land where conservative and liberal anticorporate rhetoric overlap...
...narrative mirrored aspects of French's life. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1929, she, like Mira, divorced and pursued an academic career. French's daughter was sexually assaulted; there is a rape in the novel. "All men are rapists and that's all they are"--the outburst by one of her characters became conflated with French's nuanced views...
...changed in between the births of my second and third daughters. For one thing, this time around I really am getting no sleep; for another, the pediatrician recommended something for our 1-month-old that is different from what had been suggested for our other children. She said we needed to pick up a liquid multivitamin that contains 400 international units (IUs) of vitamin D. It was a little confusing, because with our first daughter, now almost 4, the doctor told us to simply get her out in the sun from time to time to let her body produce vitamin...
