...community at the time of Summers’ remarks. The statistics were telling: nationwide, women with children are less likely to enter the tenure-track, less likely to receive tenure, and more likely to leave academia entirely than their childless or male counterparts. And surveys at Harvard and elsewhere suggest that students with children, and particularly women, can face a discouraging environment. In a 2008 survey of the University’s student parents, 25 percent of respondents reported having advisers who were unsupportive of their family decisions.  Just months before the Summers remarks, Wenc had helped found...

...sunk after the 2008 election, the current political climate certainly has. Despite their recent legislative victory in the health-care battle, the Democrats still stand to lose significant ground in the midterm elections. Although punishing sitting presidents with Congressional losses is ingrained in the American political tradition, recent polls suggest that voters may put an unusually severe dent in the Democrats’ current congressional majority.

...ease of finding such women over the Internet, and their usefulness to terrorist groups, suggest that the role of women in jihadist movements will continue to grow. Even ultraconservative groups like al-Qaeda, which had long avoided recruiting women, have come around to the tactic, says Mia Bloom, author of Bombshell: Women and Terror. In Russia the problem is particularly acute, as more than 50% of the country's suicide attacks have been committed by women, compared with about 30% globally. Far more than those of male bombers, their attacks also speed the flow of new recruits and money into...

...question of whether Garzón willfully ignored the amnesty law when he declared jurisdiction in the case is open to debate. "Numerous sources of international law suggest that amnesties for crimes against humanity are inconsistent with a State's obligations to protect human rights, including the right of access to justice," Carolyn Lamm, president of the American Bar Association, wrote in a public letter to Spain's Attorney General, an opponent of the prosecution. "It is difficult in light of these principles to view [Garzón's] ruling as legally indefensible, or as warranting criminal prosecution." Garz...
