...relevant issue—in fact it’s an ironic example of stereotyping and prejudice—but I think that the deeply flawed nature of the presentation itself is an issue of far more pressing importance. The training session included the singing of the national anthem (with athletes of other nationalities present), and discussion of America as a superior nation to which people turn when they lose hope in their own countries. The presenter, Elaine Penn, read lists of stereotypes and derogatory terms without directly addressing or refuting any of them—and laughed along when...
GOODWIN: My picks are much different. In health care, I am concerned that earnings estimates might be too high for the large-cap pharmaceutical stocks, so we have been focusing primarily on other health-care names like Amgen in biotech [0%] and Anthem [0%], which has consolidated Blue Cross/Blue Shield franchises.

Like other manufactured acts before them, Tatu's appeal may not outlast their novelty value - or even their teens. Shapovalov, already advertising...
...Nina Name Hunt soon became an in-joke millions shared. The New Yorker ran a cartoon with a husband asking his wife, "When did you start putting ?Nina's in your hair?" The singer Will Ryan composed his own anthem: "Nina, Nina, me, myself and I, oh how you stick wit' us! / Nina, Nina, can't you tell us why you're so ubiquitous? / It is likely you have friends in lofty places, / For I find your name adorning famous faces." The more Ninas hidden, the longer the lovely task took. A few nights ago, my wife was paging through...
