...upside if Citi were to return to health, plus effective control of the company. Whether the government's stake would rise to the 100% that many economists recommend - completely wiping out existing shareholders - is questionable.

...relationships, like people, do not fit neatly into predefined categories. The premium that Facebook places on categorization has only exacerbated our societal obsession with affixing arbitrary labels to relationships and calculating our self-worth accordingly. For many women, “boyfriends” serve as status symbols, offering definitive proof of one’s capability to find a mate and achieve monogamous bliss; failure to assign that label can result in the abandonment of a healthy relationship for more “promising” prospects.

Binning, Unzueta and their colleagues write that those kids who identified with multiple racial groups reported significantly less psychological stress than those who identified with a single group, whether a "low-status" group like African-Americans or a "high-status" group like whites. The multiracial identifiers were less alienated from peers than monoracial identifiers, and they were no more likely to report having engaged in problem behaviors, such as substance use or persistent school absence...
