Women in the news as their National Day dawns Thursday

McDonald’s has inverted the M in its famous arches sign in parts of California and, they say, online all over the place. Many were stunned by the change. A few posted concerns that McDonald was making an anatomical statement. But no, it’s only a W for Women, as in National Women’s Day. Then the estimable Heather Hiscox, 2 a.m. riser and host of the CBC’s morning television news these many years. She has  been named winner of the Canadian Screen Award for Best News Anchor. Well deserved. On the right, you may recall Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon. She is seriously pondering a run against Republican Governor of New York Mario Cuomo. Happy National Women’s Day to all those celebrating.
