...Here's a tip, folks: zombiemania will never last. It may be as urgent as the Birther movement, but it has no more validity. Don't fall for a fad; stick with a quality monster, which has a rich history in literature and cinema, and which keeps producing attractive variations. I speak of the vampire, as exemplified by Park Chan-wook's terrific new South Korean film, Thirst. (See TIME's Video: 10 Questions For Stephenie Meyer...
...keep our hands where they can be seen. But for blacks who've made it to the upper echelons of American society, those old lessons chafe, and you tire of wearing the mask of deference. Moreover, members of the black upper class tend to inhabit places where they stick out. They work with colleagues who, if only for statistical reasons, don't have to worry about being confused with a suspect.

...health care they have, the President has been forced to say, "If you like the health care you have, you can keep it."

The firm's now pilloried entwinement with Washington (some call it Government Sachs) began in those days too, after managing partner Sidney Weinberg made the rare-for-Wall Street move of backing Franklin Roosevelt in 1932. That led to a key role for Weinberg in the World...
...Senate, Simmons, Caligiuri, or Foley would outshine Dodd. Still, the incumbent will be tough to beat. Already, his approval ratings are recovering. Republicans should wait until each candidate’s message is better defined; then, they should decide. Otherwise, voters may stick with Dodd. The people of Connecticut are notoriously stubborn—they call their state, “The Land of Steady Habits.” I hope that isn’t their way of saying they make the same mistakes twice...
