From the Archives:
With Dana Grinshpan’s current Government Executive magazine piece on women’s role in government, it’s time to revisit the Feb. 2000 magazine cover. Thirteen before Grinshpan’s piece, Dick Kirschten examined women’s role in government at the turn of the 21st century.
Read his feature story here and the entire Feb. 2000 issue here.

I (Ross Gianfortune) put together Play of the Day and am also a Chicago-area native. I was born in the early 1980s, so I was a teenager during the Bulls’ run of the 1990s. Needless to say, I am in love with this Dennis Rodman story and thought pretty seriously about making Play of the Day a entirely Rodman affair.
Sadly, the sequester is way too important for me to ignore. Therefore, today’s Play of the Day was only a mostly Rodman situation.
From the archives: Our May 1999 cover on the Pentagon shedding jobs. 14 years later, the Defense Department is facing job cuts again with the sequestration around the corner.
