...also discovered, to my surprise, that I'm a lot like the person I was in high school. Several women told me about comments I'd written in their yearbooks about their breasts. When I went up to a woman named Dana and told her that she looked exactly the same, she said, "But you never thought I looked good." I, for some reason, said, "But at least you don't look any worse," and walked away. Coors Lights can really pile...

...died Nov. 27 at 52, worked even harder than most of his colleagues. But he also harbored a secret deeper than a love of bourbon: from a very early age, Penner felt that his male genitalia had been misassigned--and that he was, in the most meaningful ways, a woman. In 2007, after 23 years in the business--a career that included covering the Olympics along with professional baseball and football--Penner shocked the sports world by revealing in a 2007 column that after "extensive therapy," he was preparing to begin a new life as Christine Daniels.

Spine of SteelAgainst a backdrop of a crippling statewide financial crisis and a national Republican Party civil war, Whitman is attempting her greatest balancing act yet: running for governor of the country's most populous state as a fiscally conservative, socially moderate woman. As an accomplished business executive, she claims she is in the best position to create jobs and control spending in California, while playing down her pro-choice, socially moderate views. But at a time when GOP elements are conducting a witch hunt to purge moderates from the party, she may have to pass ideological litmus tests...

...many consultants (she has about two dozen) have massaged and smoothed over her imperfections so effectively that she's as brittle and shiny as a Christmas tree ornament. She presents herself as a pragmatist who doesn't much care about tightening gun-control laws or limiting a woman's right to choose. She tries to project a muscular toughness, as Hillary Clinton did, with plans to fire 40,000 state employees and constant talk about her "spine of steel." "Sarah Palin almost ruined it for women," says Bruce Cain, executive director of the University of California Washington Center. "But Hillary...
