Deep Throat unknown to Big Mouth
Essay:The Secret That Didn't Reach Washington's Lips
By Sally Quinn
No. I did not know who Deep Throat was. And no. I never asked
my husband, Ben Bradlee. Why not? For several reasons. I have too much
pride, to begin with. I knew perfectly well Ben wouldn't tell me and I
didn't want to be refused. Secondly, I . . . how shall I say this? ...
have a big mouth. It would have been a huge responsibility to know.
It was also clear that if somebody else spilled the beans, fingers
would be pointed at me.

Man Date
Dinner with a friend has not always been so fraught. Before women
were considered men's equals, some gender historians say, men routinely
confided in and sought advice from one another in ways they did not
do with women, even their wives. Then, these scholars say, two
things changed during the last century: an increased public awareness
of homosexuality created a stigma around male intimacy, and at the
same time women began encroaching on traditionally male spheres,
causing men to become more defensive about notions of masculinity.
-- 8.
And so, man date joins the lexicon.

Sage advice from avuncular Donald Rumsfeld
Sage advice from the avuncular Donald Rumsfeld:
"Intellectual capital is the least fungible kind."
"Most people spend their time on the 'urgent'
rather than on the 'important.' "
"When you initiate new activities, find things you
are currently doing that you can discontinue--whether
reports, activities, etc. It works, but you must force
yourself to do it. Always keep in mind your
'teeth-to-tail ratio'."
