America's ruminations about women and work are so politically loaded these days -- there are breakthroughs and backlashes, mommy tracks and mommy wars, glass ceilings and pink-collar ghettos -- that it is often hard to get at the truth.

Although Srebrenica had been declared a safe haven by the Security Council, the propensity of the Serbs to pour artillery fire onto civilians spoke in favor of a speedy evacuation.

According to sources both on and close to the N.A.A.C.P. search committee, Jackson and Chavis (an official with the United Church of Christ) now head the short list for the top spot. A choice will be made April 9. It's a tough call: Chavis probably can't generate the kind of attention the N.A.A.C.P. needs, but the mediagenic Jackson...
...with them too. She didn't want to, but she figured maybe this is what you have to do to be popular in high school." So the girl submitted, recalls Cowger, 17, a peer counselor at the high school in Lakewood, California. She sympathized with the younger girl's dilemma: "These were the popular guys...
