Critics of the Mommy Track fear that employers might accept the notion that it is a bad investment to groom working mothers for high-level jobs.

Jesse Jackson, who has lost none of his fabled flair for the symbolic gesture, readily agreed to perform the ceremony before a recent rally in Santa Cruz, Calif. The impromptu wedding was a media stunt, but Jackson insisted that his only goal was to publicize the plight of Allan Steen, the bride's father, who is a hostage in Beirut. Still, Jackson was beaming avuncularly when the camera crews tromped in to film the candidate, Bible in hand, blessing the happy couple...
