...adolescent girl and a former girl myself, I'm happy to report that it's a swell time to be female. Girls today get to be strong or soft--they play with Barbies and bulldozers. Years of concern over the self-esteem of girls have resulted in a tide of aspiring Mia Hamms and Madeleine Albrights. But what happened to the boys? Why does the phrase "girl power" bring Hillary Clinton to mind, while "boy power" reminds us of Columbine...

I'd like to know who is going to remember Africa. You know? I'm losing my memory. I'd like to try that new Alzheimer's vaccine. Do I like tuna tartar...

After waking each morning on the crowded houseboat that is home to himself, five assistants and three dogs, he ventures out among the sloughs and sandbars to battle a rising tide of trash and fill the small flotilla of rusting barges that he pushes upstream with the help of passing tugboats, a clutch of corporate sponsors and sheer willpower...
