Here’s my latest take on news and gossip:

The tigers cubs are alright. Remember poor Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, daughter of Yale Law School professors Amy Chua (aka Tiger Mom, as if you needed reminding) and Jed Rubenfeld (a person in his own right)? You might recall that in “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” Chua wrote about forcing Sophia to practice hours of piano a day, make perfect grades and forfeit all invitations to sleepovers.
