Barbara has been visible but never dominating, as Rosalynn Carter sometimes appeared to be. The old pols have always contended that a First Lady could harm but not help a President. Some Republican Party experts, though, believe that if Barbara were not on board, the President's standing would be lower than it is, his leadership less effective...

The dearth of data on women and heart disease may also have contributed to an alarming problem: women are significantly more likely than men to die after they undergo heart-bypass surgery. One reason, suggested a study last spring, is that doctors are slower to spot serious...
