...solve these problems? I think the first thing is to become much more indignant about these cultural values and sexist imagery. Men should be indignant about it too - and many men are. Women have a lot of work to do yet around pay equity, day care, paid maternity leave, sexual harassment, violence against women. [There's] a whole host of issues that are still the unfinished business of our movement...
...every stripe descended upon Augusta to cover the protests of Martha Burk, chairwoman of the National Council of Women's Organizations, who crusaded against Augusta National's men-only membership policy. But Burk set up shop outside the club, where the media had access to her. Tiger does his work inside the ropes of Augusta, so the club can cut off the larger circus.

But that deadline has come and gone, and no new time frame has been set. Even the agreement on the military transports has gotten tangled up in its implementation. On paper, the deal allows 4,500 U.S. military flights over Russia per year, but so far this...

Because of recent narco-related threats, U.S. consulates in Mexico had already begun letting employees take their families...
Emptying the U.S. consulates, of course, won't brake Mexico's ever spiraling drug violence. But like January's teen massacre, the March 13 assault on Americans may well turn out to be another big mistake by the narcos - especially if it gets both Washington and Mexico City to work together on the less militaristic but more effective long-term strategies that could eventually leave the cartels crying for once...
