...Crimson finished the first half with a flourish thanks to a fired-up Berkery. Berkery scored twice and fed junior midfielder Becky Gaffney to knot the score at halftime...
...Michael Milken and Donald Trump have discredited the era's role models as well. "The 1980s showed how ugly this country could be, like racism did," says April Gilbert, a Stanford M.B.A. and shipping executive who hopes to join a nonprofit company soon.

He is both a buccaneer billionaire and a professed socialist, renowned for a blend of macho charm and armored-tank aggressiveness. A British union leader once ruefully observed, "He could charm the birds out of the trees, then shoot them." Although decorated by British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery for World War II valor and elected in 1964 as a Labour Member of Parliament, Maxwell was involved in a corporate...
