A poor black woman who died almost 60 years ago, her story is everywhere this week thanks to a intrepid reporter named Rebecca Skloot.

    Jenny Sanford: Staying True to a Man Who Never Existed?

    By  Lynne Adrine
    %PostTitle%

    In the midst of digging out from this epic snow, the weekend gave me repeated exposure to Jenny Sanford's book, "Staying True." After listening to her interview on NPR Monday morning and watching her two-part interview on "Good Morning America," I think the title is apt, although maybe not in the ...

    Pregnancy Is Not the Public's Business

    By  Lizzie Skurnick
    %PostTitle%

    When should you have a baby? I ask not because I am planning one of my own (sorry, Mom!) or because, as I creak over the midpoint of my 30s, I can't weigh the risks and drawbacks for myself. It's not even that I care what you think. But between the Super Bowl's controversial Tim Tebow ad, ...

    By  Mary C. Curtis
    %PostTitle%

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tea Party movement may have a leader -- if she chooses to step up. Sarah Palin's Saturday night keynote address was definitely the hot ticket, and she is the one person who could unite the activist groups that have gathered for the first National Tea Party Convention.

    AIG Bonuses: Why Those Pesky Contracts Can't Be Ignored

    By  Joann M. Weiner
    %PostTitle%

    The United States is a country that follows the rule of law. And it does so even if that means paying employees of AIG, the failed insurance company whose actions nearly caused a global economic collapse last year, millions of dollars in bonuses. U.S. taxpayers have paid more than $180 billion to ...

    %PostTitle%

    A funny thing happened to me at airport security this week: The full-body scanner appeared to detect my fake left breast. After I sauntered sleepily through the regular scanner at Denver International Airport, the TSA guy motioned me into the clear, cylindrical, full-body scanner (aka, the ...

    I was stunned and saddened when, during my "Cultural Diversity and the News" class, a number of students giggled at this headline as it appeared on the projector screen: "Outrage After White House Chief Drops 'R-Word'." The article was about White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's use ...

    O'Reilly-Stewart Smackdown: Spinning the Zone but Changing No Minds

    By  Luisita Lopez Torregrosa
    %PostTitle%

    OK, people, here's the nastiest, cruelest, cutting insult that Jon Stewart could spit out at Bill O'Reilly Wednesday night during the opening round of their much-ballyhooed smackdown on "The O'Reilly Factor'': "You have become, in some ways," said Stewart, drawing the knife, "the voice of sanity ...

    Robin D. Stone, the widow of former New York Times Managing Editor Gerald M. Boyd, kept her word. At a memorial I attended in New York after his death from lung cancer in 2006, she said she would ensure that a memoir he had left behind would be published. And so it has. "My Times in Black and ...
