...jacket and the green of the shirt are different. I think the clothes are from Banana Republic. I think his usual style is nice neutral tones and clean lines. He looks very comfortable in his clothes but very well put together. It’s like casual elegance, but conscious elegance too—while putting in a lot of effort he makes it look as though he didn’t. The pants are kind of like cargos, but not—they also look comfortable, moveable. The green suede lace-ups look functional but very style-conscious...
Unfortunately, most of the country is not so fortunate. As higher education is increasingly sought out, the same ugly debates that transpired in the late 1960s and ‘70s—affirmative action, race-conscious admissions, standardized testing—are back on campuses nationwide, and threatening to subsume some of the top university systems, including the largest, the University of California...

The creation of many part-time jobs instead of full-time jobs is a seemingly conscious strategy on the part of the cleaning companies to avoid paying health care benefits. These companies try to shift the responsibility for health care onto another company, where the worker presumably works full-time. But many janitors cannot find full-time jobs, or at least not ones that provide health...
