...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.

The faculty stands behind him and supports the no-tenure system...

...blond tonalities of the painting, its neutral, high and even light, are freighted with death. 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.
