Reflections of a Former Presidential Spouse (opinion)

Denise and I met at our new faculty orientation, which seems like a lifetime ago, and grew up together as academics. She chose administration early on, and I taught for decades before giving up faculty status to become a full-time fellowship director. As she advanced from dean to provost to president, my role as the administrative "trailing" spouse altered in both subtle and overt ways at each new institution, but the core was always rooted in our dedication to the universities we served and to each other.

Emily Nussbaum on Jane Kramer's "Founding Cadre"

Kramer followed up, notebook in hand. The New Yorker, then led by William Shawn, was averse to polemical swashbuckling; it would never print a phone number as a kicker. But its writers could take their time. Kramer embedded with the Stanton-Anthony Brigade, the "founding cadre" of a set of revolutionary cells devoted to consciousness-raising, or C.R. She sat in as members shared intimate stories, seeking patterns of oppression and strategizing methods of resistance; she watched sisterhood blossom, then break down.

The naked racism shared on his own account, last night, stands out even among the depths of social media. What differs tonight from other moments, when the President has said, written, or shared, racist or offensive things, is the response coming from his own party. And given that response, it became quite clear inside the White House that their usual response of defiance or laughing it off wasn't going to work this time.
