▶ Are Women Better Liars than Men?
For three months I lied to my husband. I snuck around behind his back and I emailed and talked on the phone with first one -- and then up to a dozen -- different men. I had more than 200 emails secreted away in a folder. When my husband would come into the room, I'd snap my computer shut, or click on a different screen quickly, so he wouldn't see what I was doing. By the end, nearly every other sentence I uttered was a lie. And even though I was so nervous and jittery, my husband didn't suspect a thing. Are you horrified? Yeah, sorry, I was sort of lying to you.

▶ New Yorker Culture Shock at the Iowa Caucuses
This year, for reasons unfathomable to many of my city-slicker friends, I left New York City and moved to Iowa City. And all of a sudden, my life has become public. Folks stop and say hi to me on the street, my neighbors organized a block party to welcome us, and tonight I'm going to stand in the cafeteria of a local high school, raise my hand and be counted in the Iowa Caucuses.
