That hasn't been the case for a decade. As early as 1991, analysts at Furman Selz (now part of ING) recall having to pass muster with investment bankers during job interviews. Bankers, who held veto power over analyst hires, pressed applicants on their willingness to work with bankers. "You had to be willing to compromise, or you were out," says a former Furman Selz employee. By 1996 analysts at some large firms were going on new-business pitches with investment bankers, crossing the line dividing salespeople and bankers, which had been sacrosanct. By then star analysts were getting...
...other side of the issue, mothers of "queen bees" should be very specific with their daughters that the same rules for treating people decently face-to-face also apply to IM-ing or phoning. These moms should also consider controlling access to these weapons of lass destruction by removing conference-calling and call-waiting features and limiting time on the computer. And they should caution their girls against using incendiary language, which is a huge temptation with IM-ing; the word slut is the current favorite pejorative.

To reduce the Mideast conflict to racism shows a lack of understanding or an extreme oversimplification...
...years’ hiatus, as openers. Playing to a fairly sparse crowd, MC Gift of the Gab and DJ Chief Excel worked hard to raise a vibe that never entirely blossomed. Michael Franti of Spearhead had no such problem. Within seconds of his arrival onstage, he was pogo-ing his entire 6’6 length into the air, and the audience wasn’t long in joining him. Franti gives more to his audience than any other performer, his energy seamlessly carrying him and his band through hip hop, jazz and a strong gospel bent, evident...
