...fifth - and supposedly last - day of the conference, he stepped in to help his pal, beleaguered European Union trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy, who was struggling to defend the E.U.?s much-maligned Common Agricultural Policy. With the rest of the WTO seeking an apparently innocuous commitment to phase out agriculture subsidies, and France threatening to flounce out of the meeting if such a plan were accepted, Zoellick came up with a face-saving caveat.

Now the un-chic phrase, the F word, is feminism, because it connotes a starchy righteousness. "A bad thing about old-style feminism," says Amy Pascal, the Columbia Pictures chairman who greenlighted Charlie's, "was that you could be a brain surgeon but you couldn't be a sexy brain surgeon.
