""The resignations infuriated Elizabeth and Sunny. The following day, they summoned the staff for an all-hands meeting in the cafeteria. Copies of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho had been placed on every chair. Elizabeth told the gathered employees t..."

of
The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women:
"UGH, so glad to be done with this book. I liked the 2nd half a lot more than the 1st half but overall, it was reallllly slow - way too many repetitive details, names, dates, etc.
Even still, the story is unbelievable yet true, so sad I got choked..." Read more of this review » |

"If source confidentiality wasn't protected and Theranos succeeded in bullying its whistleblowers into silence, who knows how many more people would have been hurt by faulty health care information — the "collateral damage" of Elizabeth Holmes bein..."

A guy who employs, year after year, a sous-chef like Steven Tempel is clearly not Robuchon — or likely to emulate his successes.

For every schlock meister with a catch-phrase and his own line of prepared seasonings who manages to hold American television audiences enthralled, there are scores more who manage to show up at work every day in a real kitchen and produce brilliantly executed, innovatively presented, top-quality food.
