Yes, I liked it. I thought it was very touching. Plus, I found it fascinating to read about Lepore's background, trying to build an academic career while raising two small children.
Every time I read her, I tell myself I need to send her a fan letter, and every time I never do. :-\

She published a book recently, which you could take her out to lunch next time you get ahead in your magazines!
Jeff Wrangler:
There is a cartoon on p. 42 of the July 29 issue that, in my opinion, is quite pertinent to the discussion of the division of household labor--or lack thereof.

Haha! I've been reading the Franken exposé and was just four pages away from the cartoon! Yes, that is an excellent illustration of the issue. I took a photo and emailed it to myself.
Thanks! :D
Jeff Wrangler:
I read the Franken article, and it just made me sad all over again at what politics in this country has become.

"Devils Advocate" was a long and wild ride through the depraved world of Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, and a host of teenage girls. Hard to read but great reporting!
