The problem with Bill Clinton

It's an attitude at variance with contemporary morals. Old school feminists often had to suffer the indignities of working alongside chauvinist pigs to get things done. Not so anymore. Increasingly, feminism is judged as much on how we treat each other on a day-to-day basis as it is on government policy -- so there is no hiding place for the politician who says one thing and then does another. That makes perfect sense. We'd have no tolerance for someone who preached civil rights from the pulpit but was condescending to black people in private. Likewise, many modern feminists would be astonished at the idea that a woman should have to "tolerate" her partner's bad behavior as part of a political contract. In 1992, during the Gennifer Flowers frenzy, Hillary Clinton joked that she wasn't "some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette." Three decades later, that's exactly what she does look like to many people. How will this affect the presidential race? Trump's remarks certainly won't do him any damage in the primaries. Contrary to liberal myth, there are such things as Republican women and they tend to be just as conservative as Republican men. In the general election, however, many more moderate women may find it unappealing that The Donald chooses to personalize politics by going after Bill Clinton and see his remarks as underscoring conservative hostility towards feminists trying to break the glass ceiling. But don't be too surprised if Bill Clinton becomes a bigger electoral issue than once expected. We live in an era haunted by ghosts of old scandals: Historic abuse cases are bringing down powerful men all the time. There is an appetite for correcting the sins of the past. Bill Clinton may find himself being horribly reminded of his ill-spent youth. TM & © 2016 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. (KBZK Bozeman News)

Dior's Grand, Flower-Covered Mountain of a Set, by the Numbers

In both instances, de Betak worked with the Parisian florist Eric Chauvin — though in 2012, he primarily collaborated with the Belgian floral designer Mark Colle.) If the delphiniums seem like a déjà vu, that’s because 48,000 of them bloomed forth from a single room. The openness and scale of this statement, by contrast, speaks to Dior’s very deep pockets, sure; but also to the sheer desire to, as de Betak puts it, communicate something beautiful. The 59-foot-high mountain will remain in place over the weekend before the entire scene gets dismantled. Those eager to photograph the installation may consider heading into the Louvre, where the elevation offers the best vantage point, not to mention some added perspective. From here, where masterful depictions of flowers in paintings and on porcelain are preserved in perpetuity, the floral mountain will soon exist only in the collective memory — which, of course, includes Instagram. Said de Betak, “It makes you read history in a different way.” Correction: October 5, 2015 An earlier version of this post misidentified the florist Alexandre de Betak primarily worked with when he oversaw the venue design of the Dior haute couture show in July 2012. ?The florist is Mark Colle, not Eric Chauvin.
