...awarded the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Commentary, will examine a possible new gender gap in news media and the Internet. Goodman, a 1963 graduate of Radcliffe College and a former Neiman Fellow, has published several books and worked for Newsweek magazine, the Boston Globe and other publications. Halperin, founder and editor of ABCNews.com’s “The Note,” will work on an undisclosed project with Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy Mark McKinnon, who served as chief media advisor to President George W. Bush during the 2000 and 2004 election campaigns. Halperin...
...family of Harel, the founder of Migron, embodies that divide. Harel's father Israel was among the early settlers who crossed into Jordanian territory after the 1967 war. He says that settlers like him were driven by a collective Zionism akin to socialism. "Our motivation wasn't religious," says the elder Harel.

Here the famous and the forgotten are captured in the forceful style of art deco. Once upon a screen, these vamps, clowns and pirates romanced in a world of black and white. But outside the theater, Madalena made them leap...
...says he is the kind of guy who likes to "stir things up." No one who has marveled at the freewheeling and shrewdly eccentric career of H. (for Henry) Ross Perot will argue with that description. The blunt-spoken, impulsive founder of Electronic Data Systems, who managed last week both to goad mighty General Motors into an expensive estrangement and get his name involved in Washington's Iran-contra scandal, has been variously called a dictator, a superpatriot and an inspiring, unassuming employer-philanthropist. He is also one of America's wealthiest men. His scrappy individualism and spectacular feats...
