...them. None of us are so perfect that we have the authority to belittle other people just because of their economic status. Instead of labeling and looking down upon an entire community, we should be working to counteract many of the systematic injustices still present in our society that affect the wealth of black communities. Unless people cease to judge others by their skin color and supposed economic background, the great American dream of social equality between all classes and all people will never be reached...
Career changes can affect family members dramatically too. When Reid accepted the P&G job, she uprooted her doctor husband from Richmond, Va., along with their two young children.

The next dean also controls the fate...
...some find these calculations a bit too sunny. Michael Downing, Tufts University professor and author of Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time, says: "Congress has been studying this for 100 years and has yet to come up with reliable energy savings." Daylight saving does affect people's habits: studies from the the last DST extension in 1986 show that we shop, head outside, play sports, fire up the barbecue, and drive more often once daylight saving kicks in. (Conversely, Nielsen ratings for prime-time TV traditionally fall.) But many of these activities, especially increased leisure driving, offset...
