...emphasizes the “woman” over the “science.” A male chemist is a scientist, and his achievements are to his own credit. A female chemist is a “woman in science.” She has something to prove, and her achievements go to the credit of women in her field, or even in general.It is worth adding that these arguments are made almost exclusively by women who are not “in” science. In both the math and physics departments, the individuals...
...island of just 700 sq km and 4 million people. Lee's little nation is a testimony to what hard work and discipline can do to improve lives. That, perhaps, is legacy enough. But what a place in history there would be for Lee if his successors prove that Singapore can marry continued economic prosperity to a more open, tolerant, creative, and, yes, messy society - and hence create a new miracle, from which other nations, bigger, more powerful and more potentially frightening than Singapore, could one day learn anew...

That return is employee satisfaction--assuming that people like to work for companies that do good, a belief notoriously difficult to prove. (Citing internal surveys, Swartz says his employees identify strongly with the company's human-rights positions.) That reasoning also supports Timberland's current drive with actor Don Cheadle to raise awareness about the genocide raging in Darfur, Sudan. Although it doesn't cost the company much, the campaign could be dismissed...
