NYT profile of Elizabeth Edwards, helping her husband out on the campaign trail. Get this passage:
Mr. Edwards was answering a question about the evolution of his views on foreign policy. “I have more clarity,” he was saying, “ about the specifics of particular issues that affect the rest of the world and affect America as a result, and the connectedness.”
Mr. Edwards stopped and turned nervously to his wife, looking like a student seeking approval from a teacher. “Is that a word? Connectedness?”
Mrs. Edwards nodded. “Yes,” she said.
