| |
| Diversification and policy variables constitute a two-way process in that diversification
not only influences policy outcomes, but is itself influenced by policy variables.

The Political Failures of the Baby Boomers, and the Challenges for the Next Generation
| |
| The Boomers' failures are distributed uniformly from Right to Left. But given the liberal-leaning Boomers' original rise from the 1960s counterculture, their weak-kneed absorption into the partisan political establishment is most ironic. The generation that fought for free speech and the right to question authority now enforces strict political correctness and quashes political dissent from their tenured posts in academia.

TWO LESSONS LEARNED FOR EMPLOYERS FROM MANCHESTER, CT SHOOTING

| Today employers had an opportunity to witness first hand another instance of workplace violence. This one occurred in Manchester, CT where an African-American employee who had complained about racial harassment in the workplace, went on a shooting spree against his co-workers when his employer asked him to resign.
