Plenty of couples snipe at each other in sometimes embarrassing ways in front of company.
Politicians have always been required to be fake, but now the career havoc wrought by a stray, flying sound bite means they have to sustain their fakeness all the time.
Let's face it: innovation in the U.S. is now the province of our thriving city-states. We all know that nothing happens in Washington anymore.
She's handled herself with enormous gallantry, ... She must have been through a lot of private pain, but she's put her best foot forward and she's tried to start a new life.
