Among the superlatives that might be tossed his way, Bergman was surely the most probing writer of women's roles, the most sympathetic director of actresses.

She had sparked a conservative revolt against the Bush Administration and got withering reviews from some Republican Senators, but that was over. "There was a lot of work to do, and I sort of turned to [it]," she told TIME in her first interview with a national publication since her withdrawal...
...later about how she was treated, viewing her as a victim of snobby élitists. To White House officials, Miers is a quiet workaholic who got an inexcusably raw deal. To some outsiders, her name remains synonymous with Administration missteps--a conservative columnist called the Dubai Ports debacle a "Harriet Miers moment...
