...course, like everyone else, black men wondered about MJ's physical and mental health, and what drove him to dangle one of his kids from a German hotel room's balcony. But rarely did we air those concerns publicly. For some, it was more comfortable to remember the "old Mike," or "black Mike" - the one with the Afro, wide nose and plump cheeks, before he morphed into something resembling a gaunt white woman. Some sociologists may argue that our collective reluctance to demonize or abandon MJ at the height of his troubles was rooted in our inability to confront issues...
...some see the turnaround model as a mostly hypothetical solution that has yet to provide results. "It's the audacity of hope in the extreme," says Mike Petrilli, who analyzes education programs and policy at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative think tank.

"We try to drive out variation wherever we can," says Charles (Mike) Harper, a neurologist who oversees Mayo's clinical practice in Rochester. "Practicing medicine is not the same as building Toyotas, but you can still standardize. Uncertainty shouldn't be an excuse to ignore data." Mayo has teams working on evidence-based protocols to reduce the use of intensive care, lower...
...correspondents who asked the President a question quickly barked follow-ups, repeatedly insisting that the President respond to their queries. Two veterans of the briefing room, Politico's Mike Allen and Hearst's Helen Thomas, shouted questions to the President out of order, which he did not answer (and did not appear to appreciate). And ABC News' Jake Tapper compared the President to the Star Trek character Spock...
