...always suspected that "feminists" like Chodorow and Tannen were the pretty, well-made-up girls in the schoolyard who always made fun of the tomboys. Plus, their arguments limit women, and inform stereotypes. Women always seem to end up playing the "soft" games...
Weisberg could only hope that after 90 days of hearing about sex, lies and audiotapes, the jurors hadn't missed his most important instruction, one that went largely unstated.

The first order of business for Major was to soothe Irish annoyance over Britain's failure to inform Dublin of the secret contacts with the I.R.A. That was accomplished in what Reynolds called "a strong exchange of views." But despite seven hours of talks, the two leaders were less successful in devising a joint declaration outlining a new political formula for Northern Ireland that would involve altering...
