...notion that black families are mired in self-imposed trauma stems from Daniel Patrick Moynihan's 1965 report, in which Moynihan argued that the black family was a "tangle of pathology" whose destruction by slavery had produced female-headed households, absent fathers and high illegitimacy. Interestingly, Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the few Negro leaders who refused to condemn the future New York Senator's report.

Tim arrived at the hotel and heard the distinctive laugh, "Ah-ah-ah-ah-AH!" from inside the room. "Ah-ah-ah-ah-AH!" Just peals of laughter. Russert paused a minute, uncertain about bothering the boss...
...lured multinationals to developing countries often goes hand in hand with less appealing hallmarks of developing nations - harsh working conditions and unenforced labor laws. Governments in most developing nations weren't monitoring conditions, so Western firms found themselves "held responsible for problems they didn't really know existed," says Daniel Viederman, executive director of Verité, a U.S.-based NGO that investigates workplace conditions globally...
