...President Clinton said in announcing the appointment, Albright has "steely determination" as well as a clear understanding of her dual function as a leading cabinet member and female role model. We see that the second follows naturally from the first, as she herself indicated in her own metaphor: "I hope my heels can fill your shoes," she said to outgoing secretary Christopher when she accepted her new position...
...will be a sad year for lovers of the Mutter Museum calendar, produced since 1993 by the fascinating medical museum in Philadelphia. The award-winning calendar highlighted objects from the museum's collection, including the skeleton of twins fused at the head and a wax model of a patient with syphilitic leukoplakia of the tongue (above).

The challenge has been how to maintain those standards while accommodating thousands of new kids--and the struggle...
...Maria Eva Ibarguren Duarte de Peron kept her eye on the spotlight, her hand tightening around the cojones of power. And Madonna fought like hell for the right to incarnate, in one of the era's most vivid musical dramas, a woman whose career and notoriety mirror her own: model for steamy photos, singer on the radio, movie actress of disputed pedigree, sexual adventurer. In both these stars one can see the great goad of ambition, the ability to enthrall and outrage. So there's tabloid poetry in the fact that--50 years after Juan Peron's election as President...
