...When [my son] Nick was in school, there were all these women who had given up their jobs to be stay-at-home moms and they all sort of glared at you when you didn't do your share at the PTA. Now as we're going into this recession, it's all going to come back. As jobs become scarcer, women are going to bear the brunt of it. I do think that one of the great lessons that I learned from my mother was not just the necessity of working, but that being able to work...

A Red Sox fan, a family man, a good-humored snowboarder, a pillar of his Vermont village who had the courage to offer himself as a hostage in exchange for the safety of his unarmed crew, Phillips is not the sort of person Americans are content to see bound, mocked and threatened in the most lawless corner of the planet. This was a hostage crisis. Had the kidnappers made it to shore with Phillips, they would have taken a large part of Obama's presidential authority and poll ratings with them...
