With vaccine mandates rolling out across the country to help curb the spread of COVID-19, it’s time to address the elephant in the room. The vaccine cards handed out after your final jab are big and flimsy. They can easily be ruined by folding or shoving them into wallets too small for their girthy corners. Hell, I’ve managed to just barely save mine from getting doused in a spilled drink at a bar. They’re just paper!

The victim, a sandy haired blonde about 5 foot 3 inches tall and weighing between 100 to 120 pounds, was posed with her legs crossed at the ankles.

Twenty years ago, the World Trade Center—the heart of New York’s financial district—was attacked by terrorists hellbent on destroying America. When New York was attacked, we were all attacked. We mourned together. In the aftermath of that tragedy, thousands of young men and women, including me, signed up to make sure it would never happen again. Thousands lost their lives.

By the late 1950s Minoru Yamasaki had established himself as a major figure in American architecture. The son of Japanese immigrants in Seattle, Yamasaki overcame endemic racism in both his country and his profession to rise to prominence with a humanistic approach to modern architecture, exemplified in projects including the Lambert Airfield in St. Louis and the McGregor Memorial Conference Center in Detroit.

At his death in 1984, just shy of 60, in the Bel Air home of one of Johnny Carson’s ex-wives, Truman Capote was conspicuous less for his literary output than for his ubiquitous guest spots on late-night talk shows. Wallowing in performative agony, he was intoxicated by his own celebrity—to say nothing of alcohol and drugs—as he confided to the likes of Carson and Dick Cavett, in his trademark simpering squeal, how his apparently never-finished novel-length sendup of Manhattan high society...

It seems strange to Jim Giaccone that he is 60 this year. He was 40 when his 43-year-old brother Joe, who worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower, died on 9/11. “I’m 17 years older than he was when he was killed.

By now, you’ve heard that the reign of the girlboss is over. As a number of female industry leaders exit their roles for perpetuating toxic work environments and some even face trial in federal court for alleged fraud and conspiracy, the liberal assumption that women operating capitalist structures can radically transform corporate culture and enhance the lives of average working women is slowly being put to rest.
