I cannot find out the main clause and subordinate clause of the following sentences? 

1)   . She’s gone back to work at CIA headquarters after her leave of absence, has been photographed by Vanity Fair, and has stood beside her flamboyant husband as he accepted accolades from liberal groups.

Does the sentence structure showed as below;

       She's gone back to work at CIA headquarters after her leave of absence, has been photographed by Vanity Fair, and has stood beside her flamboyant husband (as he accepted accolades from liberal groups).

 Main clause , main clause, and main clause + Adverb clause

2)      . This has always been a tale in which what is not known is as important  as what is and so the spotlight shifts once more to Fitzgerald and what he has learned about the motives behind the outing of Valerie

 This has always been a tale in which[ (what is not known) is (as important as what is) and (so the spotlight shifts once more to Fitzgerald )and (what he has learned about the motives behind the outing of Valerie )]

Main clause +  [ Noun clause ..?????  ]
