...Southern community could be said to have somehow avoided racial strife, Kossuth, Mississippi, might have made the claim. Situated far north of the old plantations in the Delta, the tiny, oak-dotted hamlet (pop. 248) has historically enjoyed a lack of tension between white and black communities. In the 1940s and into the 1950s, children of both races played and ate together, and Kossuth achieved legal integration without the horrible spasms that wrenched most of the South. It was always a point of pride to Linda Lambert, the wife of Kossuth's mayor, that 109 years ago her ancestors donated...
...teenage angst-ridden feminist diatribes I handed into my English teacher ("Slavery: My Mother's Life as a Homemaker") and I respect my mother more than most people I know, I still have a lingering feeling that women who choose or who are forced into the domestic sphere are somehow shortchanged. But I am beginning to learn that in the process of feeling too important for housework, I have put myself at a real disadvantage. This summer, for the first time, I have experienced being a homemaker...
...down at my mother and her idleness, my roommates believe that I do nothing all day. "But what about all that laundry?" I want to shout.

...interviews--whole hours down the drain. More recently, as I've patterned my reports on those of the permanent research "staff" (an assiduous and humorous pair of recent graduates from Fordham and Amherst), I've found questions quite similar to those I've proposed creeping into the interviews. Somehow, that's very rewarding. Still, each day I am struck by the seemingly absurd variety of my assignments--one minute I'll be asked to elucidate the political philosophy of Michael J. Sandel, the next minute, to alphabetize magazines. Comparing notes with both high school and college friends, however, it seems...
...Olympic glory and in 1991 became the first national women's coach the U.S. team has ever had, leading the women rowers, including those in the four- and two-person boats, to take four out of five gold medals in the 1995 world championships. All conversations with the Eight, somehow, lead to Buschbacher; his is the only opinion that matters. When he addresses the team, each woman grows perfectly still; when he follows the boat in his launch, shouting out a steady stream of corrections, interrupted by the occasional, "Ja, that was good," they hardly dare look at him.
