2010-08-24: I read this too. That anecdote about the parents who attended her daughter's classes the first week and asked for a schedule change is what legends are made...

2010-06-13: Thanks, H and R, for your thoughts. True and true! Re: empathy, I think I read that children need a strong sense of self (and self-confidence) in order to have the capacity for empathy. Re: the permanence of the new role, the other trope I...

2010-01-11: Maureen Dowd is obsessed with fathers and father figures, as her columns on the Bushies attest. It's pretty tiresome...

2009-10-21: Fringes can be attached to lots of things: pants, vests, jackets . . . you know, hippy...

2009-06-09: The obvious, it seems, is worth re-stating. A lot. I caught the last few minutes of the French Open and the American announcers were all so impressed that Roger Federer could so fluently address the French crowds IN FRENCH instead of English,...

2009-02-28: I don't understand your “ignorance is bliss” stance, O Solovieva. Do you also avoid talking with scholars and artists in person? In my view, knowing scholars and artists in their full, rounded, flawed humanness doesn't have to detract...

2009-01-22: Re: your point about Obama being raised by women, yes, I agree, and it seems of a piece with his marrying a strong, independent woman who was initially his supervisor and whom he considers his equal. And with two daughters and his mother-in-law, he...

2009-01-20: I think I'm most impressed by Obama's cool demeanor. And all his critics need to chill out. From everything I've read and seen, it seems clear that Obama is first and foremost a pragmatic politician and that he takes very seriously the idea of...
