Chicago Tribune: Chicago breaking news, sports, business, entertainment, weather and traffic Jackie Robinson dir. by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David ... JSH's spring 1996 roundtable on Ken Burns's sweeping Baseball critiqued "the nostalgic element of 'Baseball' … the pat, knee-jerk homilies of the middle-aged male chorus of talking heads … the baseball equals democracy equals America equals eternal promise variety."1 Steven Riess found the documentary's treatment of broader sociocultural themes lacking, and Jules Tygiel critiqued Burns's treatment of "the Jackie Robinson story" as representative of the inconsistent accuracy and sentimentality that marked the larger project.2 The journal's spring 2014 roundtable on Warner Brothers' 2013 Jackie Robinson biopic 42 reflected its frustrated response to Baseball. Richard Crepeau observed an overemphasis on transformative progress, and Nikolas Hardy argued the film's treatment of Robinson "falls short in unearthing the roots of Robinson's strength of character."3

The blacklist involved the practice of denying employment to entertainment industry professionals believed to be or to have been Communists or sympathizers. Not just actors, but screenwriters, directors, musicians, and other American entertainment professionals were barred from work by the studios. This was usually done on the basis of their membership in, alleged membership in, or sympathy with the Communist Party USA, or on the basis of their refusal to assist Congressional investigations into the party's activities.

Chapter One The women appearing in this chapter, inspirations for many currently active mathematicians, received their doctorates before 1960. Julia Robinson's mathematics led to her election as the first woman mathematician in the National Academy of Sciences (NAS); she was also the first woman elected president of the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Marjorie Lee Browne is the third African-American woman currently known to have earned a Ph.D. in mathematics; two of the women profiled in "A Dual Triumph," III.1, cite her as an inspiration. Familial connections abound in this chapter: both Ratto de Sadosky and Barnes had daughters who became mathematicians, while Ratto de Sadosky, Taussky Todd, and Robinson had mathematician husbands. In Her Own Words I came to the U.S. for the first time in 1934, and this is where the story really ought to begin. Reference
To sustain success, Vikings must avoid past draft mistakes Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said all the right things in his pre-draft news conference with reporters on Tuesday, including this: “Every year is a big draft, but the more heavier or front loaded our roster gets with those big contracts the more important the backups or the role players that you’re hoping will develop into starters make a significant difference.” Spielman likely doesn’t need further reminders of the importance of the draft even as the Vikings come off one of their best seasons in franchise history, but in case he does here’s a quick look back at how poor drafts have slowed the franchise’s momentum after similarly big seasons. In the 1999 draft, the Vikings grabbed QB Daunte Culpepper in the first round and blocking tight end Jim Kleinsasser in the second round but largely swung and missed with the rest of their picks. But in 2010, with the Vikings holding the No. 30 pick — just like they do this year — they ended up trading down with Detroit.

Capitalism The degree of competition, role of intervention and regulation, and scope of state ownership varies across different models of capitalism.[5] Economists, political economists, and historians have taken different perspectives in their analysis of capitalism and recognized various forms of it in practice. These include laissez-faire capitalism, welfare capitalism, crony capitalism and state capitalism; each highlighting varying degrees of dependency on markets, public ownership, and inclusion of social policies. The extent to which different markets are free, as well as the rules defining private property, is a matter of politics and policy. Many states have what are termed capitalist mixed economies, referring to a mix between planned and market-driven elements.[6] Capitalism has existed under many forms of government, in many different times, places, and cultures.[7] Following the demise of feudalism, capitalism became the dominant economic system in the Western world.
