...mothers who make “cookies and tea.” But the fear of losing support from those women should not make Clinton run from her “First Lady Macbeth” image, crystallized by the New York Times’ Michael Kelly and Maureen Dowd at Mr. Clinton’s first inauguration, in this election cycle. The need to play to Oval Office stereotypes is unfortunate, but I can write these words without reservation because I believe that Mrs. Clinton’s personality fits more with America’s idea...
...energy plan in an hourlong wonkathon at the National Press Club in Washington. As Clinton showed her command of the intricacies of carbon-dioxide sequestration and cellulosic ethanol, it was impossible not to wonder whether the two of them might once again be crowding onto the same turf. Maureen Dowd wrote in the New York Times: "Al Gore must want to punch Hillary Clinton right through the hole in the ozone layer." Gore, however, took pains to tamp down that kind of talk. As he pointed out Chelsea Clinton in the audience at Town Hall last week, he added...
...needs no footnote from me for its relevance to recent White House history. True, the image of a Vice President with neither power nor notoriety may seem anachronistic, not to say utopian, these days (though at the end, Throttlebottom does say to Wintergreen, in a neat presentiment of Maureen Dowd, "You can be the President and I'll go back to Vice.")

...Crimson was outscored by its opponents 11-6. Down 15-6 in the final minutes of the game, Kaveney and sophomore Natalie Curtis each found the net. Freshman Jessica Wiegand and senior Rachel Spoonhower answered back in the last minute to end the game. Big Red Sophomore Noelle Dowd, with four goals, along with Simmons and Wiegand, who both posted hat tricks, led the offense for Cornell. For Harvard, Simmons and Curtis each provided two goals apiece. The two goals for Curtis brought her season total to a team-high 37 goals. The seniors had memorable performances. Orr and Kaveney...
Still, many supposed feminists like Dowd would snub the choice my mother made. They view women who prioritize childrearing as either backwards pre-feminists or victims of a coercive patriarchal society that robs women of the opportunity to work. If they were not victims, why would Harvard-educated women cease working to be mothers? What even-headed woman would pick diapers over corporate chic heels and whirlwind business trips...
