On my wall in London is my favorite photograph from South Africa. Always thrilling to behold, it is Paul Weinberg’s image of a lone woman standing between two armored vehicles, the infamous “hippos,” as they rolled into Soweto. Her arms are raised, fists clenched, her thin body both beckoning and defiant of the enemy.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Attorney General Eric Holder is “cautiously optimistic” about how things are going in Washington state and Colorado following the legalization and state regulation of marijuana.
And this election really is, I think, a very important one for the City of Jackson. It’s going to really determine what the future looks like in this city for the next 20 years. And I say that because the mandate that we’ve talked about on the show previously…
Black males are in the news. For a constituency that is a mere six percent of the population, they occupy a position that is unique in its visibility and vulnerability. On any given Sunday, like modern gladiators, they display their athletic prowess before audiences composed largely of wealthy white ticketholders at basketball and football arenas throughout the country.

Among MBA students, few words provoke greater consternation than “greed.” Wonder aloud in a classroom whether some practice might fairly be described as greedy…
Washington, DC Mayor Vincent Gray Monday signed the marijuana decriminalization bill passed last month by the city council. It’s not quite a done deal yet, though — Congress has 60 working days to object, but to stop the bill, it must pass a resolution blocking it, and President Obama must sign it. So it appears likely that the nation’s capital will have decriminalized pot possession by the time Congress leaves town for the August recess.
Sorry, CNN super-doc Sanjay Gupta. But it looks like you’re not that special anymore.
