...McLaughlin decided to adapt “Ajax,” creating a new work set in Iraq with a female protagonist. “Ajax in Iraq” incorporates many aspects of the original Greek work—which considered the effects of the Trojan war on the Greek soldier Ajax—with scenes that feature both the Greek characters and their present-day couterparts. “[McLaughlin] did an amazing job of fitting in so much of [our research] and weaving it into the myth,” Ampuero says. “Dr. Jonathan...
...administrators certainly don’t. A recently released report that gave 139 colleges each a “Sexual Health Report Card” gave Harvard only a 3.2 out of a possible 4.0.

If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from...
...many abortion-rights activists have worried that "abortion reduction" is simply a Trojan horse to allow further restrictions on abortion. When a group of progressive Evangelicals announced earlier this summer that they planned to ask the Obama campaign to add abortion-reduction language to the platform, abortion-rights leaders Kate Michelman and Frances Kissling wrote a furious essay for Salon.com, charging that such a move would be "condescending and sexist," as well as a "tacit condemnation of the choices many women make...
