This time, the two forces have aligned in a series of newly released e-mails between Summers and his longtime friend, confidant, and sexual harassment "wingman," Jeffrey Epstein.

A drunken man tried to kiss her neck and grabbed her chest as she spoke to citizens in the capital's streets.
Machismo in Mexico is so fucked up not even the president is safe, said Caterina Camastra, a professor and feminist, when I talked to her in Morelia, a city west of the Mexican capital this week. Succinct and to the point, it is a sentiment shared by many women in Mexico after watching the now viral video of a drunk man groping the country's first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, as she walked from the National Palace to the education ministry on Monday.

I also did journaling for each of the characters in this book.
