catholics divides endlessly history jews
For most of American history, of course, the important religious divides were between denominations - not just between Protestants and Catholics and Jews but between Lutherans and Episcopalians and Southern Baptists and the other endlessly fine-tuned sects.
moderately recipients section studies
Studies show that recipients of Section 8 vouchers have tended to choose moderately poor neighborhoods that were already on the decline, not low-poverty neighborhoods.
cases earning expect fire found men neither nor protect women
Interestingly, one thing I've found that neither women nor men give up on is the idea of men as protectors. Even in cases where the woman is earning more, they'll often tell me that if there were a fire or something, they would expect the man to be the one to protect them.
There is no 'natural' order, only the way things are.
band fought happens men movement quite rights women
Women had a rights movement where they fought for changes. Men... don't band together in quite that way. It happens not in such a public-cascade way as in a house-to-house way.
kings past circles
There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other's past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies.

Breast-feeding does not belong in the realm of facts and hard numbers; it is much too intimate and elemental.
factories used used-to-be
Factories not what they used to be - they're all extremely high-tech.
males different routine
Every congresswoman surely endures the same strains that drive some of her male colleagues to have affairs: lots of travel, families far away, heady work that makes a domestic routine seem distant and boring. But the stakes are much higher for women, because they are still judged by a different standard.
admitting born certain explained gospel jewish parts share thank time tried turned
The first time someone tried to share the Gospel with me, I naively explained that I was Jewish and born in Israel, thank you... This was a big mistake. In certain parts of Christian America, admitting I was an Israeli-born Jew turned me into walking catnip.
choosing marry men rather single stay step women
Women are choosing to stay single rather than marry men who can't step up and provide.
love
With the Jews, the questions are always open; we're always questioning. I love that questioning tradition.
