  • Joe College by Tom Perotta
    READING GROUP GUIDE Joe College by Tom Perotta St. Martin’s Press ISBN: 0-312-28327-X (paperback) Introduction to Joe College For many college students, Spring Break means fun and sun in Florida. For Danny, a Yale junior, it means two weeks behind the wheel of the Roach Coach, his father's lunch truck, which plies the parking lots of office parks in central New Jersey. But Danny can use the time behind the coffee urn to try and make sense of a love life that's gotten a little complicated. There's loyal and patient hometown honey Cindy and her recently-dropped bombshell to contend with. And there's also lissome Polly back in New Haven--with her shifting moods, perfect thrift store dresses and inconvenient liaison with a dashing professor. If girl problems aren't enough, there's the constant menace of the Lunch Monsters, a group of thugs who think Danny has planted the Roach Coach in their territory. Joe College is Tom Perrotta's warmest and funniest fiction yet, a comic journey into the dark side of love, higher education and food service. Praise for Joe College "Another perfectly pitched, subversively hilarious chronicle of prolonged adolescence…Joe College almost makes you wish you could relive the whole godawful mess all over again."-Kirkus Reviews "Tom Perrotta…is like an American Nick Hornby: companionable and humane, lighthearted and surprisingly touching." -Newsweek _____________________________________________ For a complete listing of reading group guides visit: www.stmartins.com "…an absorbing, fleshed-out portrait of an American male edging toward adulthood by crossing seemingly rigid social boundaries." -The New York Times Book Review "an overwhelmingly pleasing book" -The New York Times Reading Group Guide Questions 1.

  • Apple and Amazon's Antitrust Antics
    APPLE AND AMAZON’S ANTITRUST ANTICS: TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT, BUT MAYBE THEY SHOULD Kerry Gutknecht‡ I. INTRODUCTION The exploding market for books of all kinds in the form of digital files (“e- books”), which can be read on mobile devices and personal computers, has attracted aggressive competition between the two leading online e-book retail- ers, Amazon, Inc. (“Amazon”) and Apple Inc. (“Apple”).1 While both Amazon and Apple have been accused by critics of engaging in anticompetitive practic- es with regard to e-book sales,2 the U.S. Department of Justice has focused on Apple. In 2012, federal prosecutors brought an antitrust suit against Apple and five of the nation’s largest book publishers—HarperCollins Publishers LLC (“HarperCollins”), Hachette Book Group, Inc. and Hachette Digital (“Hachette”); Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC d/b/a Macmillan (“Macmillan”); Penguin Group (USA), Inc. (“Penguin”); and Simon & Schuster, Inc. and (“Simon & Schuster”) (collectively, the “Publisher Defendants”)3—for collud- ing in violation of the Sherman Act to raise the retail prices of e-books.4 Each ‡ J.D. Candidate, May 2014, The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. The author would like to thank Calla Brown for her daily support and the CommLaw Conspectus staff for their diligent effort during the writing and editing process. Finally, a special thanks to Antonio F. Perez for providing expert advice during the writing of this paper. 1 Complaint at 2–3, United States v. Apple Inc., 952 F.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the late reporter and historian who created the style and set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Harvard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s scholarship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American‐supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Second World War and even wrote fiction. A lifelong student of American political leadership, White in 1959 sought support for a 20‐year research project, a retrospective of presidential campaigns.

  • A Business Lawyer's Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read
    585 A Business Lawyer’s Bibliography: Books Every Dealmaker Should Read Robert C. Illig Introduction There exists today in America’s libraries and bookstores a superb if underappreciated resource for those interested in teaching or learning about business law. Academic historians and contemporary financial journalists have amassed a huge and varied collection of books that tell the story of how, why and for whom our modern business world operates. For those not currently on the front line of legal practice, these books offer a quick and meaningful way in.
