...toughest person in your entire career to interview and why? -Narendra Trivedi, Santa Clara, Calif.The feistiest interview I've ever had was with Ross Perot in May of 1992. He was running for the president of the United States and at that time he was leading George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill Clinton in the polls. He was very combative, very feisty but very engaging. That means it was a very demanding interview from my standpoint because I had to try to elicit information and not get involved in any type of personal exchange. It was a very interesting tight...
...given in Africa. Take Zimbabwe. Even five years ago, the country boasted one of the best judiciaries in Africa. Voters could make their voices heard, as they did in 2000 when they rejected a new constitution backed by President Robert Mugabe. The independent press was amongst the feistiest on the continent.

...sorry patriarchy of ineffectual husbands and resentful wives. "The day after your wedding, when your mother cuts your hair off, that's your life falling on the floor," a matron tells a bride-to-be. Nattel's women get not only the saltiest lines but also the feistiest roles. Childless Hanna-Leah, the butcher's wife, is freed from disappointment by an ecstatic vision and demands that her husband share the housework. Faygela, poet-mother of five, travels to Warsaw, where she encounters a circle of secular Jewish intellectuals and renounces Yiddish as "the dialect of garlic." Years later...
