Your article concluded that as women's power and wealth start to surpass men's, men and women increasingly share the same interests and concerns. But that has not been my experience. Working in a female-dominated profession, I repeatedly hear women express frustration that there don't seem to be many real men anymore. Men express confusion that their efforts not to be domineering leave them disdained by those women. The irony is that many men today try to be the sensitive, nonabrasive types that the women's movement said women would want. But in fact, many women...
...catastrophe? After 91 minutes, the pilots resurfaced, saying they'd been absorbed in their laptops, reviewing a new crew schedule.

The judge has rejected Karadzic's protests and ordered that the trial continue...
...needs to start taking Russia seriously if it wants Moscow's help on Iran. The Administration insists that its "reset" of relations with Russia is a major priority. Unfortunately, as in many other policy areas, the President and his team try so hard to satisfy their critics that they appear unwilling to make critical choices, doing just enough to raise hopes but not enough to realize them. The Administration, for example, announced in mid-September that it was unilaterally dropping plans to base advanced missile-defense interceptors in Poland and the Czech Republic. Critics said Obama had given away...
