When Elizabeth Edwards announced that her breast cancer had returned in 2007, her husband John posed for the cameras as the perfect, loving spouse. Now, thanks to embarrassing tabloid stories about his affair with a campaign aide, we know the reality was far from admirable: he might even be the father of his lover's baby. While the continuing revelations have decimated his political career, new research suggests that cheating on a cancer-stricken spouse may be far more common than we want to believe.

Your head says it's time to lose a few pounds, but your hand reaches for another cookie. Why is it that even when we want to be good, we end up being so bad? It's a question that nags at us, particularly during this time of year. After the ravages of Halloween, Thanksgiving beckons and then holiday parties. You face one temptation after another, and even though you want to resist, you often feel you can't.
November 06, 2009 | Voices - Her Body | By Barbara Kantrowitz and Pat WingertWhen Mean Girls Go Digital
Rosalind Wiseman's bestseller Queen Bees and Wannabes struck a raw nerve with parents around the country when it first came out seven years ago. Wiseman's frank discussion of Girl World opened up what had been a hidden topic—how girls use social status as a kind of weapon as they build friendships throughout adolescence. The book also inspired the 2004 movie Mean Girls , which had a happy ending when all the previously mean girls turned almost nice.
October 22, 2009 | Voices - Her Body | By Barbara Kantrowitz and Pat WingertHer Mother Killed Herself
It is a topic child psychiatrist Nancy Rappaport has spent decades trying to make peace with—the mystery of her own mother's suicide. She was only 4 when it happened, the youngest of five children, and like so many families dealing with mental illness, hers decided that the less said the better. But the silence soon became a shadow over her life as Rappaport came to believe that her mother's death was somehow her fault. When her father casually mentioned that her mother's problems with depression began after Nancy's birth, she felt responsible. When everyone seemed wary of discussing the topic with her, it reinforced her sense of guilt. "I used to have this dream where I would come into the bedroom of my mother and see an open bottle of sleeping pills. I see it and no one else does, and then I leave the room," she says. "In truth, I wasn't even in the house when it happened."

Domestic violence used to be the problem no one talked about. But in the past few years, the issue has clearly emerged from the shadows. This summer the Obama administration appointed longtime advocate Lynn Rosenthal to the newly created post of White House adviser on violence against women. Around the same time, singer Chris Brown pleaded guilty to a felony after being charged with assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna; the case drew so much negative publicity for Brown that he had to embark on an intensive campaign to revive his image and his career. In an appearance earlier this month on Larry King Live, Brown even added victim to his résumé when he discussed growing up in a violent household himself.
September 16, 2009 | Voices - Her Body | By Barbara Kantrowitz and Pat WingertAre Fat Friends Bad for Each Other?
While Washington policymakers debate how best to stem the obesity epidemic across the nation, many of us are struggling with how to deal with the obesity epidemic in our own homes. A third of all youngsters are now overweight or obese, well on their way to joining the two thirds of adults whose weight also tips the scales at unhealthy levels. Potential solutions are at least as controversial in America's kitchens as the single-payer plan is on Capitol Hill. Should we ration chips and soda? Or kick the kids outdoors so they get at least a minimum level of physical activity every day? Do we clear the pantry of junk food? Or all of the above?
August 24, 2009 | Voices - Her Body | By Barbara Kantrowitz and Pat WingertThe Journey of a Lifetime Begins Now
By the time you reach the point of applying to college, you may feel that you've heard way too much advice from your parents, your teachers, your guidance counselors, your neighbors—even that guy who graduated from your high school three years ago whom you ran into at the movies last week. Everyone, it seems, has an opinion about where you should apply, what you should study, and even what you should write in your essay. If you can stand it, here's one more piece of advice: forget everything you've heard, at least for a moment, and think about the most important person in this process: you. What do you want out of college?
