The Way They Are. Theirs was the real thing, and so is that of the ruling couple pictured on these pages, self-evidently not in the least reluctant to say it to the world even as they say it to each other. There are a lot of wisecracks in circulation about the look on her face when she fastens it on him in public situations, which is most of the time. Affection, pride, uninhibited devotion, and just the redeemingly provocative touch of ginger (or I think I see it) of the kind that says, If you don’t see what I see in him, you are blind. When he was almost killed, the look on the one photograph that caught her full in the face en route to the hospital was the look on the face of the Pietà in St.

Peter’s, the same look one saw on the face of Jackie Kennedy when she stood in Air Force One while Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office, replacing as president the man whose corpse lay a few feet away. The public impression is almost necessarily static: postage-stamp mutual devotion. She yields, but so does he. How to spend your money | Playlist. A Day in the Life of Pinterest. The sun shines through Pinterest’s upcycled stained-glass window, catching the mirrored elements on the mobile she crafted. Pinterest stirs beneath a quilt made of old T-shirts, a clever #lifehack that incorporates cherished memories of her past into the cozy comfort of her future.

She looks at the ceiling. Breathe, it says. She does. Getting out of her vintage cast-iron bed, Pinterest trips on a pile of antlers. Pinterest’s day begins with a ritual thanking of the universe for its bounty and for how quickly you can turn cashews into a rich, creamy dressing. All this skin care has made her hungry. Thinking about Blake gets Pinterest all revved up. Next she heads to her special place. Back in her kitchen, she starts the evening’s work: repurposing things.

Hours later, there is nothing left to repurpose. Pinterest sleeps fitfully on the exposed-brick ground, surrounded by broken glass and shadow boxes of taxidermied butterflies. From Cyberspace to Africa, the CIA Looks to Fights of the Future. The CIA is reorganizing itself around 10 new “mission centers” designed to better focus the agency’s capabilities and make a single individual responsible for work in each part of the globe and a few key mission areas. The creation of the centers is the largest of several changes that CIA Director John Brennan announced this week.

The centers will be organized by geography (for example, Africa) or function (like counterterrorism). Other reforms include the establishment of a Directorate of Digital Innovation, and an initiative to make the agency a more professionally rewarding place to work by liberating intelligence officers from what Brennan called the “stovepipes” of their particular discipline, be it espionage, analysis, or technology.

The revamp grew out of a three-month study conducted by a nine-person team who collectively had more than 200 years of experience working at the CIA, according to Brennan. The revamp also involves the renaming of two existing directorates. Here’s What a 100-Year-Old Sex Therapist Thinks is Wrong With Sex Today. She was born before the invention of the stop sign, but sex therapist Shirley Zussman has some thoughts on ‘hooking up.’ “I don’t think it’s as frantic as casual sex was in the sixties,” she says, noting that modern ‘hooking up’ isn’t as exciting without the context of a sexual revolution.

Besides, she adds: “In the long run, sexual pleasure is just one part of what men and women want from each other.” At 100, Dr. Zussman is still a practicing sex therapist in New York City. In the 50-plus years since she began counseling people about all things related to sex, Dr. Zussman has witnessed everything from the legalization of the contraceptive birth control pill in 1960 (she started in sex therapy shortly afterwards) to the AIDs epidemic in the 1980s to the rise of internet porn in the new millennium. She’s one of the oldest sex therapists in the world, but that might be the least extraordinary thing about her life and career.
