...parents and siblings over the phone as my own memories. Once, at a precious 14 months, Mariam was in the living room when she disappeared from view. After some franctic searching, my sister found her hiding in a corner of the dining room struggling to poop into her diaper. The polite yet constipated baby didn’t want to do the deed in front of the family. Adorable, non? The shitting business makes for good story-telling. When they were getting potty trained last year, Mariam would accompany Adam on his trips to the toilet...
Obsessive celeb watchers can already buy Heidi Klum's diaper bag and Shaq's car stereo. So we guess it was just a matter of time before more prosaic star acquisitions--like produce and junk food--became public. The online supermarket Fresh Direct is posting the shopping lists of some of its famous customers, including director SPIKE LEE (Lactaid milk, Pringles, Granny Smith apples), Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon (truffle oil, Pop-Tarts, swordfish steaks) and model Paulina Porizkova (rotisserie chicken, Milano cookies, Jarlsberg cheese). The lists are not comprehensive; no toiletries, alas. Plus, the site does...
...Zaillian's alertness to Warren's nuances. Willie has what Huey Long surely did not: a primitive sense of original sin. He believes the world is essentially dirt and that man is born of that filth.

So you can, if you will, think of All the King's Men as a purely political parable, but that...
...first month at Harvard is a heady intoxication of freedom. That feeling isn’t simply the delicious sensation of waking up to an entire day under your own jurisdiction. Eventually you come to realize that your classmates are no longer your companions from the diaper crowd. Your classes are no longer cemented to a daily, regimented schedule that starts at seven and ends at two. You are finally free from those defining middle school years that eternally labeled you as the quiet girl, an “orch(estra) dork,” or that kid who wore...
...infamous among sociologists for cherry-picking the fun parts of parenting. Dad will leave work early to see a child's play, but he'd never consider leaving early just to get the laundry done. So every time Dad ignores the smell of a No. 2 diaper, he confirms his wife's fear that he's not reliable. Unwittingly, men are hinting to their spouses that she's ultimately responsible, while he's along for the ride. The social culture constantly reinforces this idea. When their daughter shows up at school with tangled hair, the other moms don't blame...
