Expand the sub menu Film. Determined though her research may be, Pilon seems to make a point of protecting the reader from the grind of engaging these truths. More From Our Brands. We logged you out. This book allows a darker side of Monopoly. Cannot recommend it enough! Part journalist, part sleuth, Pilon exhausted five years researching the game's origin. Mary Pilon's page-turning narrative unravels the innocent beginnings, the corporate shenanigans, and the big lie at the center of this iconic boxed board game. For additional info see pbs.

After reading The Monopolists -part parable on the perils facing inventors, part legal odyssey, and part detective story-you'll never look at spry Mr. Open Preview See a Problem? The book is superlative journalism. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly.

NOVEMBER 15, 2012, 1:56 PM At N.Y.U., Assessing Problems in College Athletics By MARY PILON Complaints about the state of college athletics are nothing new. But who is to blame for all the headlines and deep-seated issues in college sports? That was the question bandied about at New York University Law School Wednesday evening as part of a panel, "College Athletics: Is Anyone in Charge?" The answers were provided by the panelists: college administrators, athletic directors, journalists, television dealmakers, conference gerrymanders, boosters, the N.C.A.A., agents, coaches, among others. "Money," David Jones, a columnist for The Harrisburg Patriot-News, said, when asked about the circumstances surrounding the sexual abuse scandal at Penn State. Jones was among the first journalists to report on the allegations against Jerry Sandusky , the former assistant football coach at Penn State who was recently found guilty of sexually abusing 10 boys. "I'm a survivor of child molestation," Dana Jacobson, a former sports anchorwoman for ESPN, said. "And part of the smokescreen of maybe not everyone, but some of these molesters, is they're not who you'd expect." Also on the panel was LaVar Arrington, a retired professional football player who played at Penn State, where Sandusky was his coach. He said he had "no knowledge" of abuse there. "I thought that Jerry Sandusky was a great man," Arrington said. "I would even go as far, I would not even shortchange what I thought of the man when I was there.

(“Charter”) as follows: PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. Plaintiffs Roma Torre, Kristen Shaughnessy, Jeanine Ramirez, Vivian Lee and Amanda Farinacci are distinguished and award-winning on-air talent on Charter’s New York One (“NY1”) news channel covering the New York metro area. They have collectively worked at NY1 for more than 100 years – devoting their careers and dedicating their lives to New York journalism and the success of NY1. Despite these tremendous efforts and their indisputable skill, NY1 has blatantly marginalizedDeadline them and cast them aside in favor of younger women and men, in a transparent effort to reshape the appearance of the on-air talent. 2. Sadly, it is hardly a novel occurrence that the media fails to showcase professional older women in on-air positions, instead favoring younger women and men. The New York Times recently published an article titled “The Fight to Be a Middle-Aged Female News Anchor: Case 1:19-cv-05708 Document 1 Filed 06/19/19 Page 2 of 62 There is no fighting sexism on television without fighting age discrimination along with it,”1 which highlighted the experiences female television journalists have had to – and continue to – face in the workplace.

DOUBLE TAKE: THE LAW OF EMBEZZLED LIvEs Lawrence M Friedman* JoannaL. Grossman** I. INTRODUCTION There was tremendous public sympathy for Notre Dame football player Manti Te'o, whose girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, had tragically died of leukemia. The sympathy, it turns out, was misplaced. Kekua never died because she never lived.' She was an internet hoax-a woman Te'o thought he loved, and with whom he had communicated over a long period of time, but who in fact had been created by jokesters. 2 Te'o appears to have been "catfished"-a modern term which means duped by a fake internet identity. A 2010 documentary, Catfish, depicted a man who meets a woman online and falls for her, only to learn later her identity was a far cry from the one portrayed on the Internet.3 In a television series of the same name, we see more unsuspecting people "catfished"-victims of an online dating hoax whose excitement and then humiliation are chronicled for viewer entertainment.4 "Catfishing" claimed Manti Te'o as one of its early victims.5 At the heart of "catfishing" is a basic problem-how do we ever know whether people are who they say they are?
