Anne-Marie Slaughter Causes Ruckus with Knitting Comment

Anne-Marie Slaughter, president of the New America Foundation, caused a little online dustup last week with comments about retirement planning. Speaking at the Washington Ideas Forum on why women fall behind, she made these comments, as reported by The Atlantic:
