Meanwhile, there have been very few prominent female apologies in recent memory. In January, Irish MP Iris Robinson resigned and publicly repented for cheating on her husband. But it barely made a ripple in American newspapers, even though her paramour was only 19 at the time. Why is it that we're seeing more high-profile apologies from men than from women? One big reason is that there are far more men than women in high-profile positions - and thus more men who are liable to have something to publicly apologize for.

...Controversy and intrafamily feuds are part of the Thyssen dynasty fabric. The Baroness had Borja out of wedlock with a previous paramour but convinced her rich husband, who was 22 years her senior, to adopt Borja and to give him the Thyssen surname. She and Thyssen also adopted two girls. In March 2002, Thyssen, who died later that year, settled an expensive lawsuit with his eldest son over the disposition of the family's $2 billion trust...
...level. As the guilty mother, Kim Basinger is so shakingly fragile that she comes dangerously close to over-acting, which is frustrating given the subtlety of the rest of the film. J.D.

Even as pundits were writing the political obituary of a fiscal conservative many had touted as a GOP presidential hopeful for 2012, The State newspaper of Columbia published personal e-mails the governor had sent to his paramour, named Maria. (Thursday's edition of Buenos Aires newspaper La Nacion identified her as Maria Belen Chapur, a 43-year-old divorced mother of two who lives in the fashionable district of Palermo and works for an agricultural company.) In one, Sanford gushes about Maria's "magnificent gentle kisses...
...been fired, and Jack, then 66, was in court with his understandably angry soon-to-be ex-wife. Seven years later, Suzy is happily married to Jack, and she is willing--nay, eager--to discuss the love affair that cost her a prestigious job and cost her paramour more than a reported $75 million settlement. Suzy and the former General Electric chieftain "work together 24/7," write together and raise her children (and their profile). And she pens smart self-help books cum memoirs to boot...
