What scared me more was that I had never taken a bite of that apple myself. Put another way: I can describe my wife's chocolate cake. On a good day I could probably write 1,000 words about it. And you could read them all. But unless you had a bite (with coffee) you would never know how good it is. You wouldn't know it like I do. I've never been on ketamine, so I know it only as well as a reader would know my wife's cake - secondhand. I wondered how could I warn Sasha...

Described in hindsight as "the first big management fad," Taylorism was widely criticized--from the right as a step toward totalitarianism, from the left as soulless and alienating. It was famously parodied by Charlie Chaplin and Lucille Ball (remember Lucy...
...Needless to say, Wall Street isn't turning cartwheels at the prospect, and as a result, neither are Senate Democrats. Many simply don't want to bite the hand that feeds them: investment firms and their employees have given more than $50 million to political candidates so far this cycle, 61% to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and their well-heeled lobbyists have been busy of late firming up opposition to the measure. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus has said he doesn't believe the House bill could pass the Senate - and any measure...
