If women were not working, the American family would be in desperate financial trouble by now. Yet we seem to expect women somehow to rear their children in their spare time.

If after the first two suicides the masses had been ignited, Chun...
...about his opportunities or the obstacles that await him if he rides into the political battlefield. "There's a great expression I've always believed," Schwarzkopf observes. " 'The higher the monkey gets up the flagpole, the more opportunity he has to show his ass.' Or I should say his rear end." Perhaps even a public desperate for a plainspoken hero will give him some time off to collect his thoughts...
