...reason for women's underrepresentation is that younger women already have the difficult task of balancing work and family; the women who do go into politics tend to do so later in life and thus have shorter political careers.

What a joke," says Johnson, who has four adult children and also directs a nonprofit organization. "I work on the balance all the time...

The restaurant association would also like to see a standardized inspection form that would make it easier for evaluators to identify problem areas quickly, helping to advance food safety. Yet the industry group calls the CSPI report a "misleading caricature...

The shock of Peszek's injury, along with Memmel's, clearly weighed on the remaining team-mates - Johnson, nine-time world medalist Nastia Liukin, Alicia Sacramone and Bridget Sloan, as they took to the first rotation on floor exercise - an event at which the U.S. generally excels. Sacramone, a former world champion on floor, unexpectedly stepped out of bounds, costing her a deduction and lowering her score by enough of a margin to keep...
