...turned into retirement. I used to think I could have both, but now I feel sort of misled." Yet many women cannot afford to quit. "Wives have been working because their families need the money," says University of Wisconsin Business School Professor Dowell Myers. "Most women are still working pink collar.

Getting fired for shooting off his mouth is nothing new to Michael Pillsbury, who until last week was the Defense Department's assistant under secretary for policy planning.

One realizes, subliminally at first, the likeness between the naked rabbit in a puddle of watery pink fluid on the plate and a fetus curled in its amniotic sac. But in a more general way, the pinkness of the rabbit is the rosiness of human nudity, and Lopez sets down every detail of it with an exact balance between detachment and anxiety. Nothing that can be seen is skimped--not even the freezer burns on the meat (which, Lopez explains, thawed...
