...What inspired you to write this book? I really never thought about writing a business book before. They struck me as dry and kind of boring and I even have a hard time getting through one myself. But I've lectured at many American universities and many young women would come up to me after my speeches and ask why I don't write about my business experience. As I recently resigned from my corporate job [at Veuve Cliquot], I decided now was the time to write...
...born in 1953 and I got my polio shots when I was age 4, and I am thankful as there were still cases of the disease in Europe at that time. But I am against giving babies vaccines against everything. I've had measles, whooping cough, rubella and chicken pox. I survived them all.

Conservative politicians have a hard time believing this. I've seen it too often. They fly to Washington. They give speeches in congenial think tanks and have dinners with like-minded friends.

Zelaya warned this week that legitimizing the election "without the reinstatement of the constitutional President would only legitimize" the coup. But U.S. officials, while insisting they've not given up on restoring Zelaya before Nov. 29, acknowledge they're considering a Plan B - perhaps brokering more international oversight of the balloting while forging a deal that reinstates Zelaya after the election so that he can finish out his term, which ends on Jan. 27. "We've always preferred a restoration of constitutional and democratic order in Honduras that includes the restoration of Manuel Zelaya," one State official tells TIME...
