...parent company Disney are being accused of selling out journalism itself - all for negotiating with the late-night talk-show host to jump from CBS and replace Ted Koppel.

Women of this generation, who have redefined so much, are redefining middle age and exulting in the options and opportunities they now have. Sorry, but they are not miserable. And, yes, they remember...
