...could be excluded because rural kids may not be familiar with them. Questions showing even the vaguest bias are excised; you will never find a woman measuring cups of flour in an SAT question. The concern is that girls who read such a question will be distracted by the implicit sexism, and so their answer will reflect not their ability but their distraction--that's noise...
...Free Kobe” merchandise as if rooting for a team. Internet surfers wage online votes on whether the woman is lying. Talk show hosts joke about the woman’s failed American Idol bid.

People have made a mockery out of a very serious allegation, and their conduct will certainly leave a lasting impact...
...sketchbook page from 1995 contains a quote attributed to Goethe, "Architecture is frozen music." Ware adds an addendum, writing, "This is, I think, the aesthetic key to the development of cartoons as an art form."

Her brothers were Bar Mitzvahed--she remembers flinging celebratory candy from the women's balcony--but she never even took Hebrew. Feeling "empty" at mostly Hebrew services, she gravitated to Reform Judaism, whose prayer book provides English translations. A son was Bar Mitzvahed at Temple Israel and two daughters Bat Mitzvahed. But something was still wrong. One day Weiss visited the grave of a grandfather who had been a rabbi. She could not read the Hebrew...
