...second humiliating time. (In fact, the networks were shown up by new technology: Gore retracted after aides noticed the narrower margin on the Web.) Says Fox News vice president John Moody, "The call of Florida for Gore was not a mistake, it was a miscalculation"--a matter of incorrect data. "The call for Bush was not a miscalculation, it was a mistake. We did it without being sure." On top of all this, New Mexico, which some networks had given to Gore, was declared too close to call on Friday...

Thus, while this is inappropriate, it doesn...
...feminists "who were offended, justifiably, by the way he [Bellow] depicted women in his novels." That "justifiably" skates over an extremely complex and contentious issue.
