...says blockmate L. Tenjiwe Moyana ’07. And she doesn’t—Poilâne tries to live as close to a normal life as she can manage. “There’s no reason for me to put a label on my forehead and say ‘Hey, I run a company,’” she says. “But at the same time, I’m not going to lie—I kind of love my job.” It is Poil?...
...paradoxical one-drop rule that holds a black woman can never give birth to a white child, as historian Noel Ignatiev points out. (But he also calls for the “abolition” of the white race—of its privilege, of its label; not of its members.

Over the past year, the brothers seem to have made more big deals than big movies. "Our meetings used to be about acquiring films. Now they're about acquiring companies," Bob recently told Harvey, only half-joking. They got 70% of publicly traded home-video label Genius Products in exchange for licensing the DVD rights to Weinstein movies--a "pretty radical" move, says Genius chairman Stephen Bannon. Genius distributes material from World Wrestling Entertainment, Discovery Kids and ESPN and in November signed an exclusive rental agreement with Blockbuster. Other affiliations include ownership of a small arts and entertainment channel with...
