Openly Romantic
Romance is one of the great pleasures of my life, and gown-watching the inaugural balls occupied my evening of January 20. A long-term appreciation for NYTime's Cathy Horyn is enough reason to interrupt my morning work to post her overview of our new First Ladies' inaugural attire. ... a wonderful one and a half minutes. Enjoy!

He had built empires of scientific capability to manipulate the phenomena of nature into enormous manifestations of his own dreams of power and wealth - but for this he had exchanged an empire of understanding of equal magnitude: an understanding of what it is to be a part of the world, and not an enemy of it.
