TIME: Tell me about the title of your book. Gifford: Well, it's funny, because a young kid named Daniel interviewed me a couple of days ago. "Explain the title of this to me," he said. I said, "Daniel, forgive me, but I'm assuming you're a man. Is that correct?" He said yes. I said, "Tell me how old you are." He goes, "Twenty-three." I said, "You're not exactly my target audience." It's all about a woman's reproductive cycle and how we become fertile in terms of bearing children at a young...

I've said everything I wanted to say, and so has my husband. People say, "Well, do you have a statement?" I say no. We're concentrating on being a statement. We put our family first...
...Facebook with diminished mental abilities. In February, Oxford University neuroscientist Susan Greenfield cautioned Britain's House of Lords that social networks like Facebook and Bebo were "infantilizing the brain into the state of small children" by shortening the attention span and providing constant instant gratification. And in his new book, iBrain: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind, UCLA neuroscientist Gary Small warns of a decreased ability among devotees of social networks and other modern technology to read real-life facial expressions and understand the emotional context of subtle gestures. Young people are particularly at risk for these problems...
