The Radical History of Mother's Day
Laura Kacere: Mother's Day began in America in 1870 when Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation.

Einstein's Prescience
William T. Hathaway: Albert Einstein wrote in 1939, "There could be no greater calamity than a permanent discord between us and the Arab people. Despite the great wrong that has been done us, we must strive for a just and lasting compromise with the Arab people....

Men, Go First
Martin LeFevre: "Men go first, and if it works, women follow." A Russian woman told me that proverb in Moscow many years ago. It's interesting to see how women and men react to it these days. Most men scoff; most women get angry.
