...people’s ability to appreciate complexity and duality. I mean, what more could a bunch of Black, Latino, and gay DJs hope for but that—a normalization of what was normal for them. It is this optimism—and the belief that the brightest future would see a blurring of the dividing line between intricacy and accessibility—that separates this disco from main stage Disco. Perhaps as a result of this hopefulness, many abandoned these ideals for a shot at visibility and acceptance–even if it meant stripping tunes of both...
...American schools make every year by forcing potentially productive members of the labor force to return home. And when American universities are even struggling to attract future engineers and scientists who are American-born, it only makes sense that firms in the U.S. should recruit from the best and brightest all over the world.

And those who weren't were keeping busy dishing out venom at those who were...
...various world leaders. Much of the talk was about the structure of decision-making - especially on national security issues. Eisenhower told his friends that Kennedy had little understanding of the presidency. But on other matters, Kennedy had "tremendously impressed him;" he described him as "one of the ablest, brightest minds I've ever come across." And Kennedy told his brother Bobby that he was struck by the sheer force of Eisenhower's personality. He admitted that Ike was "better than I had thought." On his first day in office, Kennedy made his gratitude official: "I am sure that your generous...
