After 174 Years, Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard Will Cast Women

Women have long worked behind the scenes at the club’s annual drag show, but in keeping its cast all-male, it seemed ever more like the stodgy relics it lampooned.

Harvard was a men's school.

Wynn Resorts’ Slide Shows Sexual Misconduct Is a Financial Risk

The $2 billion wiped off the company’s shares is a reminder to directors on all company boards that misbehavior has become a financial risk.

Share price is opinion.
Opinion changes.

Why Did Hillary Clinton Let This Happen?

Placing women in positions of leadership does not ensure they will always act to protect other women.

It is vainglorious
(https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vainglorious)
for the Republican party to see the defeat Hillary Clinton as the destruction of feminism. 
Their misogyny must not triumph. 
Humanity is a unity. It stands or falls as an entity.

An Addict Dies in a School Restroom. He Was a Teacher.

Even after 10 years of marriage and with a third child on the way, Matthew Azimi couldn’t avoid returning to his long-running drug habit.

Allies are not friends.

Cesarean Delivery Can Pose Long-Term Risks to Mother and Child

C-sections can be lifesaving, but they increase the risk of subsequent miscarriages and other problems.

Risks are increased marginally.
The risks are associated with pregnancy, not the delivery method.

In a Comically Drawn Pennsylvania District, the Voters Are Not Amused

The bizarre shape of the state’s Seventh Congressional District makes it a headache just to tell who lives there. Few seem to lament a court order to redraw the map.

 
Yes.

Trump Leads the World, Backward

Our president isn’t a leader but a cheerleader. For the past.

"The person in Davos who I thought exhibited the most leadership was Malala Yousafzai, who powerfully called on governments to ensure education for the 260 million children worldwide who are not in school. Government leaders must know that education is important because they send their own kids to school and universities, she said, “but when it comes to the rest of the world’s children, they struggle a bit.”
When the most mature leader around may be a 20-year-old university student, the world is in trouble."
