...card and no money, couldn't attend college. I spoke with Steve, who had felt the sting of anti-Iranian racism, but as a recruiter for the Berkeley College Republicans, he nonetheless worked frats in which "minorities are not welcome." Jaime, who's white, was called a "nigger-loving whore" for walking with her black boyfriend in Georgia. But Nicole, a Los Angeles teen whose father is black and mother is white, felt she and her friends had progressed far beyond those divisions.

...century's biggest flop in business journalism is broadcast television. TV with a business story is like a whore with a baby: it's a cute little thing, but what the hell to do with it? A business story's got no blood, no guts, no prime time. So business is left largely to expert talking heads.
