Indian Women Seeking Jobs Confront Taboos and Threats
On a humid, sweaty, honking afternoon last summer, two women were making their way through the court complex in the north Indian city of Meerut, searching for the office of the subdivisional magistrate. They walked past the purveyors of stamp papers and affidavits, typists clickety-clacking on stools, barristers-at-law in flapping gowns, pillars of wadded files bound in twine.It is fair to say that these two did not belong. They had the swaying walk of village women — half-duck, half-ballerina..>> view originalRangers' All-Star Ryan McDonagh 'excited' for Nashville tilt

Remember novel-turned-drama film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? Well now, thanks to the body-positive Gina Rodriguez, a “Sisterhood of the Traveling Gina’s Golden Globes Dress” is a real thing.

Four weeks after the Jets’ season came crashing down in Buffalo, team owner Woody Johnson still is trying to get over the disappointing finish to a solid campaign. “I think those things stay for a long time,” Johnson said Friday at the “Jets House” in Manhattan. “They’re kind of indelible ink. You’ve got to move on, move forward and learn from what happened in that game. Twice when we played Buffalo, the same thing.

News of the death of Paul Kantner, formerly of the Jefferson Airplane, reminded me of an early encounter I had with him. So let me start here: The Coen brothers' film, A Serious Man, was set in summer of 1967 in the Minneapolis suburb of St. Louis Park, where they grew up -- about six blocks from where I did. (A brief sidenote: Also hailing from St. Louis Park: Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman and U.S. Sen. Al Franken, again both slightly younger than me.

With every new film we, Native Americans, hold our breath and hope we get treated right onscreen. Hollywood is our serial cinematic abuser and we never know what’s coming next. We breathe a little easier when we don’t look like fools or furniture, and we give our money to the masters for fair and humane portrayals. I’m a little tired of it, and I’m sure I’m not alone. But to quote Dolly Parton, “Here you come again, and here I go.” So, let’s Revenant! I started to write this up as I sat in the l..>> view originalBloomberg's Presidential Dreams, and Past Realities
