Christain Als Erica Jong
When Erica Jong published her first novel, “Fear of Flying,” almost 40 years ago, critics called it a watershed moment in the sexual revolution.
Today, Jong says that revolution has come and gone, and a new generation of female writers don’t always acknowledge the work of the women that came before them.

1 The new politics is, in fact, the old politics
Nick Clegg will regret many things about 2010. One will be his decision to produce a Lib Dem election poster warning that the Tories would raise Vat. A few weeks later Clegg, installed as deputy prime minister, was backing coalition plans to – yes – raise Vat.
Then there was the pre-election pledge to vote against any rise in tuition fees. Six months later Clegg was pushing a policy to triple them.
These shifts were damaging not just because they were old-fashioned U-turns but because they fatally undermined the party's raison d'etre – its commitment to deliver a new, honest politics. A vote for the Lib Dems, Clegg had said, would be "a vote that counts".
