...women” rather than “woman” often becomes clear when someone who happens to be female ascends to a new position, as occurred with Katie Couric’s recent promotion. Couric was widely lauded for being named the first solo female anchor of an evening news program—not the first woman to anchor an evening news show (in 1976, Barbara Walters became the first female co-anchor), nor the first to do it alone (which happened all the time when male anchors have the night off).

...House and Senate say the Republican plan is to roll out bills narrowly tailored to individual issues that will at least give the appearance of action. The controversial, long-stalled proposal to authorize drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will emerge before mid-June as a solo piece of legislation. A bill on standardizing fuel mixtures across the country will also be offered. And support is gaining for stricter conservation requirements for companies - though notably not for individuals. One thing you won't see are more attempts to buy off disgruntled voters with hard cash. The Senate Republican proposal...
