abruptly went off in the ballroom. For nearly half an hour before the former
White House chief strategist made his entrance, hundreds of attendees
chitchatted in hushed tones. An emcee announced three times that no one
would be able to enter or exit the room once Bannon started speaking.
Finally, with the room still dark, he took the stage to tepid applause.
Organizers shined a spotlight on Bannon as he spoke, which projected... 阅读全帖 |

Once upon a time, the world had two popes. Today we have two acting
directors of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
In 1378, two men each claimed the papacy. One was Urban VI, an Italian who
was elected by cardinals in Rome. The other was Clement VII, who was elected
by French cardinals and reigned from Avignon—where a succession of French
popes had lived for most of that century.

By Michael Reagan
Saturday, 17 Jun 2017 06:00 AM
Vladimir Lenin is said to have described Western pawns that worked with the
Soviet Union to betray their own governments as "useful idiots." Since many
of those minor league traitors were at least marginally successful, I
suppose we would have to term the late Sen. Ted Kennedy a "useless idiot"
because even the KGB didn’t want to work with him.

Then there are places like the United States, where there are many different

The Introduction Formula
by Keith Head
When I arrived at UBC, my colleague John Ries, who had been hired the year
before, explained to me that Jim Brander had given him a formula for writing
introductions. I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention at the time because I
thought it would stifle my creative juices (is that a mixed metaphor?).
Finally, I think I ended up internalizing the rules and now I thought I
