...workplace class distinction: he is not a mere laborer; he is management. This distinction has ramifications extending beyond the fact that he made $18 an hour to his men's $15. It suggests that he identifies with Black Wolf more fully than the others, sees his employers in a kinder light and is more comfortable returning. Observes Jim Lamont, Pennsylvania safety representative for the United Mine Workers of America: "I expected him to go back sooner than he did." One of the nine has suggested a deeper and more specific connection between Fogle and his bosses. Blaine Mayhugh reportedly told...
...year and a 32% jump over the 10-year average for that month. A handful of blue-chip companies, including Bank of America, Citigroup, Colgate-Palmolive, Goldman Sachs and Starwood Hotels, boosted their dividends a whopping 30% or more.

During that year and a half, I simply tried to be more like the person God expected me to be: kinder, braver and more generous. It was much easier to daub myself into an active, accomplished “Portrait of the Artist as a Success” than it was to quarry in my soul with a pickaxe, searching for a vein of something precious and rare. But in doing...
...Jerry Lee was used to hell breaking loose around him, but usually he was the one who opened its cage. Now he looked pale and defenseless in the tabloid press's glare. The Rank theater chain canceled his bookings, he returned to the U.S. to find the reception no kinder, and the bride and groom found themselves the Monica-and-Bill of the '50s. Top-40 radio stations exiled Jerry Lee's music, and Sun Records issued his next single, "Lewis Boogie," as the B side of a derisive novelty number called "The Return of Jerry Lee," which intercut snippets...
