in the New York Times
science section,
:01:03
which chronicled a particularly
fascinating study...
:01:06
on the mating preferences
of the male cow.
:01:11
- First, a bull was presented with...
:01:15
A cow.
:01:17
They mated.
:01:22
The next day, the bull was
presented with the same cow.
:01:29
The bull wasn't interested.
:01:31
He wanted new cow,
:01:33
and this was old cow.
:01:40
Curious to see if
they could trick the bull,
:01:42
the scientists came up
with an ingenious ploy.
:01:45
- Do not disappoint Daddy.
- The old cow was smeared with new cow scent...
:01:50
- Doesn't that feel good?
- But he was no fool.
:01:54
This wasn't new cow.
:01:56
This was just old cow
incognito.
:01:59
Old cow in sheep's clothing.
:02:02
- Mutton dressed as lamb.
:02:11
But I'm getting
ahead of myself.
:02:13
To really understand the theory and
how it took over my entire existence,
:02:17
you need to hear
the whole story.

When Ray came into my life,
:02:23
I was booking talent
for the Diane Roberts Show,
:02:26
a local New York talk show that
had just been syndicated nationally.
:02:29
The network had given us
a small window of opportunity...
:02:32
in which to make something
of ourselves.
:02:34
We're back with
Mary Lou Corkle,
:02:36
outspoken
conservative activist,
:02:38
who's here to talk about
her new book The Nest Crisis.
:02:42
One of your central arguments,
Mary Lou,
:02:45
is to blame society's problems
on working mothers.
:02:49
Diane was determined to
strike pay dirt with her audience...
:02:52
by appealing to both their
understimulated intelligence...
:02:55
and their overstimulated appetite
for tabloid television.
:02:59
Ambition has blinded
these women...
