While at WWE, Linda spearheaded a wide variety of community and charitable programs, including the company’s educational and literacy programs.

Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer
Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).

Who Trump Is Putting in Power by Jessica Huseman, Ian Macdougall and Rob Weychert Updated January 19, 2018
THE CHOSEN H H H Who Trump Is Putting in Power by Jessica Huseman, Ian MacDougall and Rob Weychert Updated January 19, 2018 We’ve created an easy-to-print version of our cards showing President Trump’s key picks. Use them however you like: as con- versation-starting stocking stuffers, with students, or just to test your knowledge of the unfolding administration. Enjoy — and let us know what you do with them! PROPUB.LI/CABINET-CARDS REX TILLERSON SECRETARY OF STATE H Confirmed by the Senate (56–43) REX TILLERSON SECRETARY OF STATE YOUR READING GUIDE H Tillerson is the former CEO of Exxon Mobil. At the State Department, he has overseen a massive downsizing, which resulted in what the New Yorker called “the near-dismantling of America’s diplomatic corps.” He originally supported Jeb Bush for president, and he has had a tumultuous relationship with Trump. He reportedly called the president a “moron” after a July 2017 meeting with other senior officials. For his part, Trump has repeatedly undermined Tillerson, and rumors of Tillerson’s impending departure from Foggy Bottom have dogged him for much of his tenure. PROPUB.LI/CABINET-CARDS STEVE MNUCHIN SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY H Confirmed by the Senate (53–47) STEVE MNUCHIN SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY YOUR READING GUIDE H The former Goldman Sachs banker served as Trump’s campaign finance chairman. Mnuchin was a key booster for the recent tax cut. Reports that he and his wife, Louise Linton (who also generated controversy for comments viewed as tone-deaf), used a government plane to fly to Kentucky to see an eclipse triggered an investigation by Treasury’s Inspector General.

Unreported Cases
2001] UNREPORTED CASES defended in bad faith, such that the fees paid by Statek to finance the defense should never have been expended in the first place. This Court has already held, and the Delaware Supreme Court has affirmed, that Johnston and Spillane defended the §225 action in bad faith and were personally liable to pay Vendel's attorneys' fees and expenses.2 This Court found (in the words of the Supreme Court) that "the conduct of the Defendants rose to the level of bad faith because they had no valid defense and knew it."2" This Court also found that " that conduct also to supports the conclusion that the defendants in2°9 bad faith forced Vendel commence and prosecute [the §225] action." From these findings it follows (in my opinion, inescapably) that the defendants also acted in bad faith by causing Statek to finance their defense, which was found to be a "sham" and "intended to delay the inevitable day of reckoning, and to enable the defendants to continue mulcting the corporation without detection. 2' 1 To say it differently, had defendants not acted in bad faith, the §225 action would never have been prosecuted and there would have been no defense costs for Statek to bear. The same fiduciary duty considerations that justified shifting to the defendants the liability to pay Vendel's fees, also warrant shifting to those defendants the fees and other defense costs they improperly caused Statek to incur. Because there was no "good faith" dispute about the merits of the claim in the §225 action, the defendants are liable to Statek for the fees and expenses it paid to defend that action.

It was named in honor of General Winfield Scott who, in September 1832, held a treaty with the Indians upon its soil. By that treaty the territory embraced in the county of Scott, together with all the rest of the Black Hawk Purchase, was ceded to the United States and on June 1st, 1833, was opened for settlement. The treaty was held in what is now the city of Davenport. The signing of the treaty was originally scheduled to take place in Ft. Armstrong, on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, but due to an outbreak of cholera, the ceremony was moved to the western side of the Mississippi. The treaty provided that a strip of land 50 miles wide, from Ft. Madison to a point just north of the Yellow River (now Allamakee County), be sold to the United States government.
