How I Discovered A Wellspring Of Sexual Harassment Complaints
“When I told a handful of friends I was writing this book, they told a few friends. And women started coming out of the shadows. One woman I interviewed sent an e-mail to her scientific colleagues, and geologists, oceanographers and meteorologists from all over the U.S. began e-mailing me and pouring out their experiences over the phone. One woman sent me a bunch of her documents for a Title IX sexual harassment complaint, and I almost openly wept with her over the phone.”

TrackNotes: Slumlords And Slot Hustlers
“It’s been a lousy racing season, and in recent weeks, it’s snowballed into an ice boulder of bad news, including sadistic greed, disturbing trends, defection and even death. Prioritize any way you want.”
