Lynne Cheney, perhaps more than any previous contender for second lady status, does not fit the traditional mold of political wife. Her career has kept pace with her husband's; she served as chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities in the Reagan and Bush administrations, and is a longtime member of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.

(That tendency, now that I think about it, could explain why there are never any green vegetables in my refrigerator. OK, there's really nothing much in my refrigerator at all besides a jar of capers and a few cans of Dr. Pepper, but that's a different story...
...turn the pages (a way to navigate through text that is hard to improve), and when you are finished, you slap it into a holster to fill it with another text. The ordinary reader might have a collection of several dozen leatherbound and different-size book containers, ones that mold themselves to the reader's hands and habits over many readings. "This story is formatted to be viewed on an oversize L book," it says on the first screen, and so you pick your favorite oversize Moroccan book shell and sit to read in luxurious ease...
