I once asked a very naive question of a woman friend, who happened to be a mother, about what childbirth was like for her. Her response came in the form of a vivid and simultaneously humorous and alarming directive. First, she said, pull your top lip up to the tip of your nose which I [...]

Barack Obama is a man of paradox, as most leaders are. There is much to be admired of the man and his organization. From humble beginnings and a story only America could dream up, he will assume the role and take the stage as the first African-American President of the United States, and the most powerful man in the world. He grew up without a father figure, and yet took time out of every ni
