...majority of what you write is more about a single woman's relationships with herself, her friends and her family rather than dating or finding a man. Why's that? It was meant to be a catchy hook. I wanted to write something for women in the late-30-something or 40-something category. I was single, and it kind of alters your relationships with other women and with your family. I wanted to shine a little light on that in a humorous way without preaching and just sort of say, "We all feel the same. It's not easy...
...mention that late love is great because both parties are more experienced and mature. In your "How to Meet the (Right) Man" chapter, you advise women to follow certain flirting rules - to laugh like a mad woman or to avoid talking about yourself. Do you think that's contradictory to the maturity level one would expect? It's slightly tongue-in-cheek. I do think that the later you meet, the better you'll know yourselves.

...sexual revolution of the 1960s, women had launched their own version of the prewedding festivities: the bachelorette party. Prior to the late 19th century, women were limited to bridal showers, the main function of which was to acquire a dowry and gifts to prepare them for marriage.

I felt that boycotting elections made a prize of abstract ideals over daily realities. I had experienced Iran in both the repressive late 1990s and the relatively more open years of reformist President Mohammed Khatami, and not choosing a more open government - however imperfect the process of choice - seemed inconceivable...
...wilds of South Waziristan, the leader of the Pakistan Taliban has overseen the killing of more than 1,200 civilians and several hundred soldiers through brutal means, including suicide bombings, kidnappings and beheadings. He has been accused of masterminding the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in late December 2007. In late March, Washington announced a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture, describing Mehsud as a "key al-Qaeda facilitator." And over the past week alone, he claimed responsibility for five separate terrorist attacks, including the bombing of a luxury hotel in Peshawar and the killing...
