Question: American History Baked Into The Loaves Of White Bread

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

White bread, like vanilla, is one of those foods that have become a metaphor for blandness. But it wasn't always that way. Aaron Bobrow-Strain, professor of food politics at Whitman College, tells Weekend Edition's Rachel Martin that white bread was a deeply contentious food — from the early 1900s ideas of "racial purity" up to the countercultural revolution of the 1960s. He documents that cultural legacy in his new book, White Bread: A Social History of the Store-Bought Loaf. White bread first became a social lightning rod with the Pure Foods movement of the late 1800s. Bobrow-Strain says well-meaning reformers were concerned about a host of legitimate food safety issues, and their activism led directly to many of today's food safety laws. But food purity ideals bled into the social realm in the form of what Bobrow-Strain calls "healthism" — the idea that "perfect bodily health was an outward manifestation of inward genetic fitness." Continue Reading One proponent of healthism was Bernarr Macfadden, whom Bobrow-Strain calls "the original strong man food guru in a leopard-skin tunic." Macfadden believed that "white bread was sapping the vitality of the white race, threatening white racial superiority," Bobrow-Strain says. In the 1920s, white bread became a symbol of industrialization and modernity, as companies like Tip Top and Wonder Bread brought factory automation to bread-making. The invention of sliced bread, allegedly in Chillicothe, Mo., in 1928, was "really the culmination of a long process in which bread was engineered and designed to look like a streamlined wonder, like an edible piece of modern art," Bobrow-Strain says. At the same time, the '20s and '30s saw a backlash against white bread, reviving Macfadden's idea that whole wheat bread was imbued with moral as well as dietary fiber. And another wave of criticism came in the 1960s. The counterculture movement "took up white bread as an emblem of everything that was wrong with America. It was plastic, corporate, stale," Bobrow-Strain says. Eating handmade, whole wheat bread became "an edible act of rebellion, a way of challenging The Man." These days, of course, artisanal breads are a common sight at supermarkets. "We see bread going from a kind of manifestation of grass-roots food activism to being a high-end niche product," Bobrow-Strain says. Food reformers could learn a thing or two from these decades-long bread battles. Bobrow-Strain says focusing on individual food choices creates divisive in-groups and out-groups, defined by who makes the supposedly "right" food choices. And activists often overlook the root causes of problems in the food system. Like, for instance, the economy. It's hard to pay twice as much for artisanal bread when you're strapped for cash. And some foods are just better with white bread, he says, whether it's a simple grilled cheese or something fancier. "I made a sandwich that had garlicky braised kale with Manchego cheese, a fried egg, and I did it on grilled Wonder Bread," Bobrow-Strain says. "It was fabulous."

Question: Viral 'BBC Dad' Returns To Discuss Working From Home: 'Just Really, Really Tough'

Updated at 12:30 p.m. ET Who better to discuss the challenge of working from home while raising kids than the parents who became an Internet sensation when their two children adorably invaded a live BBC TV interview? Professor Robert Kelly, who became known as "BBC Dad" in 2017, was back on the air Thursday, along with his wife, Kim Jung-A, and their children Marion and James, giving the world a fresh glimpse of the kids who were last seen upending a somber discussion about South Korean politics. The youngsters turned in a bravura performance, squirming as the adults talked and alternately hugging their parents and mugging for the camera. The interview ended, as it must, soon after the door to Kelly's office was flung open. "Excited about being on telly," BBC News anchor David Eades said as the kids got busy. "That's not the first time." "Right," Kelly replied. The family's appearance again became a hit on social media, where people celebrated a bit of uplifting news amid coronavirus fears and remarked on how things have changed in the era of social distancing. "We are all Robert Kelly now," one commenter said of a video of the BBC segment. The family still lives in Busan, South Korea. Like millions of people around the world, they've been coping with new limits on where they can go and what they can do. When asked how they are dealing with the isolation, Kim said, "It's very difficult to stay in the house for a long time." South Korea was never under a national lockdown, instead asking people to stay in their homes and not to congregate. It has now lifted some of the strictest guidelines. But their children's visits to a local playground still include attempts to stay away from other people, Kim said. "A couple times a week, we hike a hill," Kim added. "This is spring season in Korea, so we try to go see the flowers and trees — and they can shout and scream." South Korea has emerged as a role model for dealing with the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The country currently has more than 9,000 coronavirus cases, but the rate of new cases has not skyrocketed as it has in other countries, and more than 4,000 people have recovered from the deadly respiratory illness. "I think South Koreans have actually dealt with it really well," Kelly said of how regular citizens responded to the crisis. "I think social compliance here has been pretty high. You don't see the kind of stuff that you've seen in the United States, with like people crowding beaches and people refusing to stay off the subways and stuff like that. South Koreans have actually really responded really well, and that's why the curve has flattened now to only 100 a day. So it's actually been pretty successful." As Kelly spoke, his son struggled to free himself from Kim's lap; his daughter also grew restless — signs that perhaps the interview had gone on for long enough. "Sorry, my kids are ... " Kelly trailed off, as his son opened the door to leave the office. "No, no," the BBC's Eades replied. "That's one thing you can never apologize for now. It's part of the scene." "There he goes!" Kelly said. After the family became famous three years ago, Kelly said they received many messages from other people, especially parents, who identified with the depiction of family mingling with work, in equal parts cute and disruptive. "Parents in particular saw themselves in our shoes, struggling to balance work and life," Kelly wrote. As the coronavirus crisis forced officials around the world to close schools and order isolation, lockdowns and quarantines, Kelly recently called for employers to cut their workers some slack. "This is what happens when I sit down at my desk now to try to work," Kelly said via Twitter, posting a photo of his pajama-clad son perched on his shoulders. "It is basically impossible for me to work now. Be kind to your employees with kids. After two weeks penned up in the house, those kids are gonna be climbing the walls." As Kelly told the BBC Thursday, "It's just really, really tough."

For instance, <<['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR!', 'Michael Yon, a 43-year-old American citizen journalist, has spent years reporting on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — but not for a news organization. Yon posts his dispatches and photographs in his own online magazine. Yon is the author of a new book, Moment of Truth in Iraq, due out in April.  It is a collection of Yon\'s battlefield coverage and behind-the-scenes reporting. Baqubah, IraqJune 19, 2007 Thoughts flow on the eve of a great battle. By the time you read these words, we will be in combat.  Few ears have heard even rumors of this battle, and fewer still are the eyes that will see its full scope.  Even now — for the battle has already begun for some — little news of it reaches home.  I have known of the plans for a month, but have remained silent. Al Qaeda and associates had little or no presence in Iraq before the war.  But we made huge mistakes early on and now we pump blood and gold into the desert to pay for those blunders.  We failed to secure the streets and we sowed doubt and mistrust.  We disbanded the government and the army, and we created a vacuum. We tolerated corruption and ineptitude and at first mostly local talent filled the ranks of an insurgency.  But when we flattened parts of Fallujah not once but twice in response to the murders of four of our people, we helped create a spectacle of injustice and chaos and Al Qaeda thrived. In a place where everything that is not desert is tinder, sparks make fire. Today Al Qaeda is strong, but their welcome grows cold.  Iraqis love to say "America put a man on the moon but cannot turn on our lights," and the implication was we really didn\'t care. We lost the moral high ground.  But Al Qaeda has raped too many women and boys, and cut off too many heads, brought drugs into too many neighborhoods. And they don\'t even try to get the power going or keep the markets open or build schools, or playgrounds, or clinics for the children. As we ineptly tried to rebuild, they destroyed, and murdered Iraqis who dared to work in such places or patronize them.    Finally, those few who were paying very close attention could feel it. A barely perceptible shift in the atmosphere. A moment of truth, a chance for change. But to make the change we had to change. Remarkably we did. But that story is for later.   Just as this sentence was written, we began dropping bombs south of Baghdad and our troops are in contact. More than one thousand Al Qaeda fighters are said to be in Baqubah. They are ready for us.  Giant bombs that can toss a tank into the air are buried in the roads.  Snipers have chiseled holes in walls so that they can shoot from deep inside buildings, where we cannot see the flash or hear the shots.  They will shoot for our faces and necks.  Car bombs are already assembled.  Suicide vests are prepared. Entire buildings are rigged with explosives. They are blowing up bridges to restrict our movements and herd us into their traps.  By the time this dispatch is published we will be inside Baqubah, and we will be killing them. The idea this time is not to chase Al Qaeda out, but to trap and kill them head-on, or in ambushes, or while they sleep.  Wounded, they will be unable to go to hospitals without being captured, and so their wounds will fester and some will die painfully.  It will be horrible for Al Qaeda.  Horror and terror they sowed, and tonight they will reap their harvest.   We are in trouble, but we have a great general in David Petraeus.  Iraq is not hopeless.  Iraq can stand again, but first it must cast out these demons.  Or kill them.

Question: To Combat Sanctions, Iran Buys Up Gold

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR!

Iran is stockpiling gold. That's the way David Cohen sees it. He's undersecretary of the Treasury, and the Treasury's point man for the banking sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Iran. "Iran is attempting to hoard gold, both by acquiring it and by preventing the export of gold from Iran, in a somewhat desperate attempt to try and defend the value of its currency," Cohen says. Iran faces an oil embargo from many Western countries, and the U.S. has also imposed tough banking sanctions. Iran still manages to sell some oil, although a reduced amount, to neighboring Turkey. Turkey is paying Iran in Turkish lira, which is not a strong currency, notes Muhammad Sahimi, who writes for the website Tehran Bureau. "Turkish lira cannot really be converted to dollars or euros in the international market. And in addition, because of sanctions on Iranian banks, any such transaction is difficult," Sahimi says. "So what Iran does is that when it receives local currency, it buys gold or silver in the same market using the local currency that it has received, and then transfers [the gold and silver] to Iran." According to Turkish trade data, Iranians have bought about $2 billion worth of gold a month since July, when the latest U.S. banking sanctions went into effect along with a European boycott of Iranian oil. Mystery Buyers  It is not known who the Iranian buyers are, nor where the gold is going in Iran. But the Iranians are using Turkish lira to buy it. The gold is sold in the form of bullion. It is apparently being carried by hand in suitcases, by air to Dubai, and then most likely by boat across the Persian Gulf to Iran. Two billion dollars' worth of gold weighs more than 30 tons. This suggests a large number of carriers and trips to move that much gold into Iran. This gold trade has caught the eye of the U.S. Treasury and is not an activity that the U.S. looks upon favorably, Cohen says. "The sale of gold to the government of Iran, whether by Turkey or any other country or citizen of any other country, is subject to sanctions under our law," Cohen says. At the same time, the Central Bank of Iran is acting to prevent any gold from leaving Iran. What this adds up to is an effort to hoard gold in order to prop up the value of the rial, the Iranian currency. Its value collapsed dramatically earlier this fall. The gold story emerged just as Iranian authorities arrested several currency traders and accused them of undermining the rial. Then another curious wrinkle to this story emerged in government newspapers and websites — the allegation that a single currency trader named Jamshid Besmillah was responsible for the collapse of the rial. Sahimi thinks this story is pure fiction. "If there is such a guy, which I doubt, that is probably his nickname, not his true name. I have never heard of him before," Sahimi says. His last name, Besmillah, means "in the name of God." Worsening Economic Crisis Nader Hashemi, an Iran analyst at the University of Denver, believes this story and the arrest of other currency traders are symptoms of a serious crisis in Iran. "These are all, I think, signs of desperation by the regime, concocting a story that one individual is allegedly responsible for the collapse of the Iranian rial," Hashemi says. "It does seem quite bizarre, but I think it just points to the reality of how the Iranian regime now is in deep crisis." Cohen also believes that Iran's economy is in crisis, brought on by pressure from the sanctions. As for Iran's newfound interest in the gold trade, Cohen says the U.S. will take action. "You can be certain that we are looking carefully at this issue, and where we see an individual or an entity that may be involved in activity that violates our sanctions, we investigate that very aggressively," Cohen says. The combined effect of the banking sanctions and reduction of Iran's oil revenues, Cohen says, have been powerful. There's no certainty Iran's gold purchases can save its currency. ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:  From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel. MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:  And I'm Melissa Block. Iran has been on a buying spree lately for gold. The U.S. Treasury is investigating reports that couriers have been buying billions of dollars' worth of gold in Turkey and carrying it into Iran. And recently, the Iranian Central Bank announced it was imposing strict controls on the export of gold. As NPR's Mike Shuster reports, these are symptoms of a larger Iranian problem: Its economy is in freefall. MIKE SHUSTER, BYLINE: Iran is stockpiling gold. That's the way David Cohen sees it. He's undersecretary of the Treasury and the Treasury's point man for the banking sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Iran.

Question: A Tale Of Technology In Two School Districts

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

For schools, computers for students are essential, but they are also expensive.  With budget pressures increasing, schools are looking for ways to cut technology spending.  Here's a tale of two school districts, and how they are trying to trim their tech budgets without hurting learning. At John Adams Elementary School in Alexandria, Va., teacher Amberleigh Klaus is getting her class of first-graders hooked up. Each of her students has a laptop, and they're all connected wirelessly to the Internet.   Miray Guneric, 7, is so young, she can't spell the password she needs for World Book online.  She stares at her screen and asks a visitor for help: "I don't know how to spell 'student,' " which is the password she needs.    Miray may be too young to spell, but kids in Alexandria are never too little to use technology.  Alexandria is a highly diverse system of 10,000 students. The school district, located just outside Washington, D.C., has a rich offering of technology.   Technology resource teacher Audrey Biggers says she wants her students to be able to jump online anytime.  "It depends heavily on Internet access," she says. To do that today, kids need regular-sized Hewlett-Packard laptops that cost the school about $800 each. Elizabeth Hoover, in charge of the district's computer systems, says these machines work fine.  But she's looking to go smaller. Migrating To Smaller Laptops Hoover holds up a sleek, silver laptop that is much smaller than the machines the kids are using. It's an HP Mini, which takes up about two-thirds of the space of a regular laptop and weighs about half as much. The Mini looks more like an overfed smart phone than a laptop, and it fits comfortably into Hoover's purse.   She says her district can purchase this model for just over $400, half the cost of the larger machines that the students are currently using. In addition to the savings, she's hoping younger students will have an easier time carrying around the lighter machine. The smaller machine has no CD or DVD drive, but Alexandria no longer needs these because administrators load software over a network. To accommodate a growing student population, Alexandria is planning to buy 500 HP Minis and take them for a test drive. Beyond the cost, Biggers says there's another reason to give children technology that is more portable.  "We have to play with the toys that they are playing with," she says.  "More students are using hand-held devices for their communication and their creation. And this is more similar to the hand-held devices that they are using in their world."   Laptops Unplugged In the Berlin Township Public Schools in southern New Jersey, budget pressures are just as intense.  Superintendent Brian Betze says he was considering buying a package of 30 laptops.    "With the same amount of money, we got 350 NEOs," he says. NEOs are small, dedicated word processors. The manufacturer, Renaissance Learning, describes them as the only laptop designed for the classroom. They do not connect to the Internet. Betze says that was a plus for his district.    "There are a lot of parents, including a number of my board members, who really don't want children to have Internet access in school.  So that really wasn't an issue." NEOs won't play music or send messages, so they don't create the kinds of distractions common with regular laptops.  That's something Renaissance Learning highlights on its Web site in its "laptop smackdown."   In online ads, characters representing PCs and Macs appear as charlatans pushing irrelevant technology on students.  A smarmy version of the "I'm a Mac" character tells a student: "You need Internet access, kid.  How else are you going to IM your friends when teacher isn't looking!" Teachers at Eisenhower Middle School in West Berlin, N.J., like the fact that the NEOs come complete with dedicated software for boosting basic skills. In Dina Botley's 7th grade science class, the teacher uses the machines to test the kids' knowledge of a recent lesson.  She asks students, "Which of these planets is an inner planet?"

Question: Death of the 'Balkan Elvis'

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth:

Tose Proeski, one of the most popular musicians in the Balkans, has died, and people all over the former Yugoslavia are mourning him. Born in Macedonia in 1981, Proeski represented his country in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Liljana Ristova, editor of the Canadian-Macedonian News, in Toronto, about the singer and his impact. (Soundbite of music)  Mr. TOSE PROESKI (Singer): (Singing in foreign language)  LUKE BURBANK, host:  Today has been declared a national day of mourning in Macedonia because of the death of the guy you're hearing right now - Tose Proeski.  (Soundbite of music)  Mr. PROESKI: (Singing in foreign language)  BURBANK: Proeski died early Tuesday morning when the car he was riding in crashed into another vehicle and then into a guardrail. He was only 26 years old, but he'd already been anointed the Balkan Elvis.  He played stadium concerts in Belgrade and Zagreb. To quote Macedonia's president, quote, "We all couldn't help but love Tose Proeski." Unfortunately, the bad news was the first time many of us at the BPP had even heard about this guy. We thought we'd call Liljana Ristova. She's editor of the Canadian-Macedonian News in Toronto. She's also a huge Tose fan, and even got to interview him when he traveled to Toronto.  Hi, Liljana.  Ms. LILJANA RISTOVA (Editor, Canadian-Macedonian News): Hi, Luke. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. Good morning to all your listeners. And I would like to apologize right away for my mistakes, because when I speak English - which my English is a second language - so I hope everything is going to be fine.  BURBANK: Well, it's a lot better than my Macedonian, so don't beat yourself up, Liljana.  Ms. RISTOVA: Thank you.  BURBANK: You met Tose Proeski when you came to Toronto. What was he like?  Ms. RISTOVA: I met him twice. He was a younger guy when I met him. Very young. He was only 21 or 22. It was for the Days of Macedonian cultures four years ago, and he was part of that manifestation. I can say right away, my impression for him was that he's such an amazing soul, such a good human being. He was hugging everybody. He was smiling, he was - he looked young, but the same time, he was acting a very mature, like he knew exactly what he was doing. But his voice was amazing, amazing. He could sing everything from Macedonian songs to pop music to opera. I just can't - have no, not enough words to explain his charisma - his charisma, sorry.  BURBANK: Yeah. Right.  Ms. RISTOVA: Yeah.  BURBANK: Well, for people here in the States and other places who had never heard of Tose, can you try to explain - where did he rate in Macedonia? I mean, was he, like the Rolling Stones are in the U.S. or Bruce Springsteen or something? I mean, was he a national hero?  Ms. RISTOVA: He was a national hero. He was a national hero. Of course, he was a national hero first because he was very talented. And then, I already said he has a huge charisma on people. We felt like he was a part of our homes, our families. He was young. He was like our child. But the biggest thing about Tose Proeski is that he crossed all the borders in the Balkans. We were talking about the Balkans after all those civil wars, and everybody accepted Tose. Tose was number one in Serbian, number one in Croatia, number one in Bosnia, and, of course, number one in Macedonia.  I was in Macedonia just recently. I came back on October the 6th, and Tose's concert was - his last concert was on October the 5th. I couldn't be there because I was one of the judges for Ms. Macedonia for Miss World so I mean, (unintelligible)…  BURBANK: Quite a life you lead, Liljana.  Ms. RISTOVA: Thank you very much. I'm just an ethnic journalist. Yeah, I've been publishing in this newspaper for the last six years. So I just couldn't be there, but I remember this moment. I never buy CDs, for example, because my son and my nephew, who lives with me, they have tons of CDs, all different kinds of music. I was in (unintelligible) in downtown. I was just walking around, and I thought, why don't I buy the last CD of Tose Proeski? And I didn't know you went even the store for this kind of stuff. So I looked around and I bought his last CD. Me, first time. I don't know what kind of feeling, you know, told me to do that, but I did it. And that the title of his last CD's "Igri Bez Granici", which in English means "Games Without Borders."  BURBANK: Well, can I just ask, Liljana, you're a big fan, what went through your mind when he heard it that he had passed away?  Ms. RISTOVA: What went through my mind was why big people, people who, young - who was too young, but they already touched the stars, why they die so young?  BURBANK: Well, let's, as we end this…  Ms. RISTOVA: And what crossed through my mind because I'm Macedonian, it was, for example, Alexander of Macedon, so-called Alexander the Great. Then I compare the situation right now in Macedonia because everybody's on the street, nobody slept last night. The president, the prime minister, t

Question: The News Roundup — Domestic

Votes in key battleground states in the 2020 election are still being counted after a historic number of Americans voted by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. Former Vice President Joe Biden is just a few electoral votes away from the 270-vote threshold necessary to declare victory. President Donald Trump has filed lawsuits in several states attempting to block the counting of some ballots and speed the counting of others. Down the ballot, Americans made decisions on initiatives about drugs to employment status. Initiatives concerning recreational marijuana passed in states like Arizona. Elsewhere, in California, a measure to ensure workers in gig economies would not be made full employees passed following a $200 million investment by companies like Uber and DoorDash. All of this happened against the backdrop of the pandemic, which is showing no signs of slowing. Johns Hopkins University reported an estimated 100,000 new cases in the U.S. on Nov. 4, marking the first six-figure day for Americans during in the pandemic. There’s one big story this week. And we’re bringing you all the top headlines about the election on the News Roundup.

Question: Dairy Farm Workers Protest Alleged Abuse In Upstate New York

To give you a sense - "['represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr', 'In a speech that stirred political intrigue in two countries, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Congress on Tuesday that negotiations underway between Iran and the United States would “all but guarantee” that Tehran will get nuclear weapons, a step that the world must avoid at all costs. “Iran has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted,” no matter what it says about permitting verification of the terms of any accord designed to prevent it from getting such weapons, he said. “The greatest danger facing our world is the marriage of militant Islam with nuclear weapons,” he said in remarks before a packed House chamber. Netanyahu spoke shortly after Secretary of State John Kerry met for more than two hours in Switzerland with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in hopes of completing an international framework agreement later this month to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. The Israeli leader’s appeal also came two weeks before elections in which he is seeking a new term – and after the invitation to address Congress extended by House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, triggered a political furor in the United States. More than four dozen House and Senate Democrats said in advance they would not attend the event, a highly unusual move given historically close ties between the two allies. The White House expressed its displeasure with the appearance by word and deed, dispatching Vice President Joe Biden on an overseas trip that meant he did not fill his customary seat behind the House rostrum during the speech. Nor did Netanyahu meet at the White House with Obama on his trip to the United States.

It’s estimated several thousand undocumented immigrants work on dairy farms in New York, Vermont and other states in the Northeast. Most of them are from Mexico or Central American countries. Farmers say these workers have become indispensable because Congress has failed to act on immigration reform and provide a legal visa program for the dairy industry. Because of their proximity to the U.S.-Canada border, the immigrants live largely invisible lives, rarely straying off the farm to avoid detection by federal agents. They’re also less likely to report abuse. But, earlier this month, farmworkers and their advocates held a rare public protest in the northern town of Lowville, N.Y. As North Country Public Radio’s David Sommerstein reports, they marched to the gates of the region’s largest dairy farm to call attention to what they call widespread wage theft, harassment and other forms of abuse.

Question: WeWork CEO Steps Down As IPO Stalls

WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann is quitting as CEO amid problems with the workspace sharing company's efforts to go public. The company's valuation, once estimated at $47 billion, reportedly has dropped to less than $20 billion and its initial public offering has been delayed. Neumann has been a charismatic but controversial figure. He built a worldwide network of leasable office space used by half a million entrepreneurs and businesses. But he's also drawn criticism for his tight control over the company and some unusual moves to enrich himself. Neumann acknowledged the controversy in a statement Tuesday announcing his resignation. "The scrutiny directed toward me has become a significant distraction, and I have decided that it is in the best interest of the company to step down as chief executive," he said.   The company announced that Neumann will retain his title as non-executive chairman. Artie Minson, the company's co-president and chief financial officer, and Sebastian Gunningham, its vice chairman, were named co-CEOs. WeWork became synonymous with co-working space as it grew to more than 100 cities around the world.  But investors saw two big problems: Neumann had too much control — he controlled a majority of shares and had the power to override any decision — and he was involved in a number of conflicts of interest. In a couple of unusual moves, the WeWork loaned Neumann several hundred million dollars and he sold hundreds of millions worth of his equity as the company was preparing to go public. In another controversial move, Neumann trademarked the word "We," then sold the rights back to WeWork for about $6 million. Joey Low, one of WeWork's biggest and earliest investors, said the move was "in bad taste." "When you're the head of a big company, you do everything in your power to make your company succeed," Low said.  Neumann later returned the money in stock. Low said he initially intended to invest just a little money in WeWork, but then ended up putting in tens of millions of his personal wealth just on the strength of Neumann's character and vision. "It was like the Pied Piper," Low said. "He would be playing his flute and people would just follow him." Low said he continues to believe in the company and that vision. He says there's still great promise in this model of building offices where people can sublease space and be part of a community.

Question: Excerpt: Five Days Gone

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details

Five Days Gone     1 The Beach This is how it began, and how it would end, on the long pale strand of a Lincolnshire beach in the last hour of sun, the daylight moon small as a kite in the sky. Far below, a child of three was playing by herself with a new tin spade. It was still strangely warm in that autumn of 1929, and she had taken off her plimsolls to feel the day’s heat lingering in the sand beneath her feet. Short fair hair, no coat, blue eyes and dress to match: that was the description later given to the police. She had come out of the house that afternoon and along the short path to the beach with her mother, Mrs. Veda Elston. They had already been there for some time, with biscuits in an old tartan tin, digging and sieving the sand. The tide was receding when they arrived, the concussion of waves on the shore gradually quieting as the day wore on; by now the sea was almost half a mile in the distance. In this lull, on their own familiar beach, and so comfortingly close to home, Veda must have let her daughter wander free for a moment. For she did not see what happened next. Someone moved swiftly across the beach and began talking to the little girl. Someone she perhaps knew, because no sounds were heard as they coaxed her away. One minute she was there, barefoot and absorbed, spade in hand; seconds later she was taken off the sands at the village of Chapel St. Leonards, apparently without anybody noticing at all. Thus was my mother kidnapped. * * * I see the scene again and again, always trying to grasp the unfathomable moment in which she vanished and everything changed. The place where she was playing empties into air; the tide freezes; the beach turns blank. Time stands still on the shore. How many minutes before her absence begins to register, before Veda becomes uneasy and then fearful, before the silence is broken by shouting and rushing to the spot where the spade lies fallen? The waves continue their impervious lapping, gulls drifting on the surface as the afternoon fades. How long before anybody missed my mother? * * * I have the police report of that day. It is scant. Mrs. Elston takes her daughter to the beach at or around 2:30 p.m. Approximately two hours later, the child disappears so fast that she couldn’t have got anywhere near the water. Unable to find her on the sands, Mrs. Elston retraces their steps, searching the path and even the house in case she might have found her way home. Neighbors help look for the child. An urgent telegram is sent to the father, who is away for work, summoning him back to Chapel. All of this is duly reported to the police, but not until the following day; and not, I suspect, by Veda. I hear instead the brusque authority of my grandfather George. Veda appears silent with shock. All she offers, via her husband, is the possibility that the child must have wandered up the beach behind her and out of sight. She herself was sitting on a blanket, knitting or staring dreamily out to sea in the mild afternoon sun, as I imagine it, with one eye on the child, occasionally plying her with biscuits—until she just slipped out of view. Perhaps the crisis was not immediately apparent. After all, the beach at Chapel was so innocent, like the child, and her little legs could not have carried her far. But then came darkness with no trace, and more stricken searching, before Veda had to spend the first dreadful night alone without her daughter. How could she have disappeared? The beach, to begin with, is completely flat. A broad street of spotless sand, scattered with angel-wing shells, it seems to stretch forever in both directions. There are no coves, dunes, or rocks where an adult could hide a child; everything stands in open view. To reach it you must walk up and over an artificial incline of heaped sand that is supposed to act as a barrier to the sea; a barrier so ineffectual that houses, cattle, and villagers have been swept away in historic storms. This little embankment runs for miles along the coastline, and from its top people can be seen walking far away in the distance. Tennyson, the Victorian poet born and raised not far from Chapel, was drawn back to it all through his life. “I used to stand on this sand-built ridge,” he wrote in old age, “and think it was the spine-bone of the world!” Veda’s mother once saw Tennyson on Chapel Sands: pressing along against the strident northeasterly winds, black cloak blowing, hat held on in brows-down melancholy. Come over this ridge, and even more surprising than the flatness is the way the sand appears to merge with the sea. The beach is tawny brown and so is the brine, because it washes over beds of clay. On a still day they become one vast continuous expanse, an optical illusion only dispelled when a chink of reflected blue sky spangles the water or a sudden gust troubles the surface. Perhaps that stillness slowed the events of the day. Veda did not notice what was happeni

Question: Open Question: Are You An Outspoken Defender?

I mentioned here last week that I have been, at times, an outspoken defender of Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. Yes, it's the worst title in the history of reality television, quite possibly, and that's already a field with an impressive history of bad titles. Yes, the world might be a better place without either celebrities or rehab, let alone the meeting of the two. But it's also a show where, every now and then, someone accidentally says something weirdly insightful, mostly because he or she forgot to be a self-centered yahoo for about ten seconds and a little window opened up that let a beam of light crack the otherwise impenetrable wall of superficiality. Intermittent reinforcement, right? The most effective kind of all. I'm always fascinated by other people's "outspoken defender" experiences. It's not the same as "guilty pleasures," exactly -- guilty pleasures are the things you know have no merit but enjoy anyway. I'm talking about being the one person who truly found The Love Guru hilarious, or being the biggest fan that the ABC show Cavemen -- which was based on the insurance-selling cavemen, by the way -- ever had. The best thing you can bring to your consumption of popular entertainment is a genuine ability to think for yourself (as opposed to an ability to disagree with the majority, which is totally different, of course), so in some ways, this may be your mark of genius. So let's throw it open: Are you an outspoken defender? Of what? Do you admit it to your family? Your friends? Have you suffered what one of my college professors would have called the disapprobation of your peers as a result? If I can admit to mine, after all, you can admit to yours.

Question: President Lends Support in Red-State Races

With the midterm elections eight days away, President Bush is out on the campaign trail, flying to Georgia and Texas, two states he won by wide margins in 2004. But the political climate is vastly different now; several states the president won in 2004 are now battlegrounds for GOP candidates. Speaking in Statesboro, Ga., where the incumbent is Democrat John Barrow and the challenger is former Rep. Max Burns, the president told his audience "You can bet one thing: We're going to sprint to the finish line." The Republican Party hopes that by winning Barrow's seat, they can make the Democrats' goal of capturing the House more difficult. On his trip, the president is seeking to link local Democratic candidates with the national party leaders -- like House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, who could become the next Speaker of the House.  President Bush said Democrats will raise taxes, and that their opposition to his policies in Iraq shows they don't understand the enemy. "It's raging across the country, this debate on Iraq," the president said. "If you listen carefully for a Democrat plan for success, they don't have one. Iraq is the central front for the war on terror." The president's goal this week is to get core Republican voters excited in a move to hold on to control of the House and the Senate.   In President Bush's travels in the week before the election, the focus is primarily on red states. On Saturday, it was Indiana and South Carolina; Monday, it was Georgia, and the Texas district left open when former Republican Majority Leader Tom Delay resigned under a cloud earlier this year. Later this week, the president will be in Montana and Nevada. In all these places, the arrival of President Bush generates major attention without the risk of being an even greater motivating force for Democrats to get out and vote. ROBERT SIEGEL, host:  This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.  MELISSA BLOCK, host:  And I'm Melissa Block.  With the midterm elections now eight days away, President Bush is out on the campaign trail, flying to two states he won by big margins in 2004. The president's goal this week is to get core Republican voters excited in hopes of holding onto control of the House and the Senate.  Coming up we'll hear about Senate races in Virginia and Connecticut. First, some of the House seats the president and the GOP are fighting for in rural and suburban Georgia and Texas.  Here's NPR's Don Gonyea from the White House.  DON GONYEA: The political climate for the president is vastly different this time around. States he carried in a breeze in 2004 are now battlegrounds for his party's Congressional candidates.  But you couldn't tell that from Mr. Bush's campaign events these days, which are designed to look a like the rallies he held on his way to reelection two years ago.  (Soundbite of music)  Unidentified Announcer: Please join me in welcoming the President of the United States.  (Soundbite of cheering)  GONYEA: And like 2004, the president is stressing the need for the faithful to get out the vote.  President GEORGE W. BUSH: We are eight days away from the election and you can bet one thing. We're going to sprint to the finish line.  (Soundbite of cheering)  GONYEA: This was in Statesboro, Georgia, today, where the incumbent, Democrat John Barrow, is working hard to hold off former Congressman Max Burns, the man he defeated narrowly two years ago. The president wants to take this seat away from the Democrats, making their goal of capturing the U.S. House more difficult. The president's approach? To link the local Democrat to leaders of the party nationally, such as Nancy Pelosi, who could become the next Speaker of the House.  Today the president said the Democrats will raise taxes and that their opposition to his policies in Iraq shows they don't understand the enemy.  President BUSH: It's raging across the country, this debate on Iraq. If you listen carefully for a Democrat plan for success, they don't have one.  GONYEA: But the Democrat in Georgia's 12th is not one of those who says there needs to be a timeline for U.S. withdrawal. As Democrats go, John Barrow is a conservative, a point he makes in this campaign commercial.  (Soundbite of political ad)  Representative JOHN BARROW (Democrat, Georgia): That's why I stood up to leaders in my own party and opposed amnesty for illegal immigrants. They also didn't like it when I fought to get rid of the death tax and when I stood firm on Iraq. We can't cut and run.

Question: Finding New Opportunity For Old Coal-Fired Power Plant Sites

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth.

Nearly 300 coal-fired power plants have been "retired" since 2010, according to the Sierra Club. It's a trend that continues despite President Trump's support for coal. That has left many communities worried that those now-idled places will simply be mothballed. "We don't want to see sites like this rust away, be eyesores on the community and offer no real tax revenue going forward, no employment opportunities," says Denise Brinley, executive director at the Pennsylvania Governor's Office of Energy. Her state has seen 14 coal plants shut down in the past nine years. As a result, the Department of Community and Economic Development has created a plan for redeveloping some of them. The agency produces promotional "playbooks" that outline the characteristics of a site — both the benefits and drawbacks — and then offers ideas for what kinds of businesses might locate there. One of the first plans is for a stretch of about 219 acres along the Susquehanna River in the small central Pennsylvania town of Shamokin Dam. Drive into town, and you can't miss four tall smokestacks rising from a huge brick building. It housed the coal-fired power plant's steam generators, which produced electricity for more than six decades before the facility shut down in 2014. These days there's new activity at the site. On the north edge, crews are laying a concrete foundation for a different kind of plant, a medical marijuana cultivating facility. It's quite a shift for the typically sedate power generation business. "There were a few chuckles in the conference calls in the mornings when we were first talking about it as an opportunity," says Joe Zokaites, principal of Arcova, which is redeveloping the site. "But everyone is on board and supports it now." The Massachusetts company Insa is building the marijuana grow house and plans to sell to dispensaries in Pennsylvania. This is just part of the plan for the Shamokin Dam site. A shiny new natural gas power plant has been built already. It takes up a fraction of the space the coal plant did, yet produces almost three times the electricity. Pennsylvania's cheap and abundant natural gas supplies are a big reason coal plants here are shutting down.   Brinley, of the Governor's Office of Energy, says once a playbook is printed, copies are distributed to local leaders and companies looking to do business in Pennsylvania. The plans acknowledge environmental concerns. Often there's pollution from decades of burning coal and storing ash. A draft copy of the Shamokin Dam playbook shows the site wouldn't be suitable for building houses, and there would be limits on using the soil and groundwater. The report suggests potential uses include a second natural gas power plant, which already is planned. Other options are a warehouse, wood waste recycling or a data center. The plan also highlights assets, including nearby railroad tracks, access to municipal or river water, and power transmission lines. The power lines could make it profitable to install solar panels where ash from the coal plant was dumped for many years. That ash disposal area now has soil on top and looks like a meadow, but it's not stable enough to construct a heavy building without expensive modifications. Replacing coal plants with new renewable energy is an emerging trend around the country. It's happening in Washington and two sites in Massachusetts, one in Holyoke and Brayton Point. Environmental groups cheer these transitions but say the federal government should play a bigger role in coordinating efforts across the country. That's unlikely for now, as President Trump is more interested in boosting the coal business than easing a transition away from it.

Question: Glenn Gould In Rapture

What's going on here, I can only guess, but here's what you're about to see: In the video below, the great musician Glenn Gould, supreme interpreter of Bach, is sitting at his living room piano on a low, low chair, his nose close to the keys. He's at his Canadian country house in his bathrobe. Through the window, you catch snatches of his back yard. It's a windy day and he's got a coffee cup sitting on the piano top. He's working on a Bach partita, not just playing it, but singing along in his swinging baritone. As he plays, he gets so totally, totally lost in the music that suddenly (1:57 from the top), smack in the middle of a passage, with no warning, for no apparent reason, his left hand flips up, touches his head; he stands up, and walks in what looks like a trance to the window. There's an eerie silence. Then, in the quiet, you hear the Bach leaking out of him. He's still playing it, but in his head, he's scatting the beats. Then he turns, wanders back, sits down, and his fingers pick up right where his voice left off, but now with new energy, like he's found a switch and switched it. What just happened? I'm not sure. But I think this is a rare vision of what it's like to be so in your head you leave your body, or at least the moving parts of your body, totally behind. There is a name for this, from psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, but first, just watch. And don't miss the walk-to-the-window part ... Glenn Gould was a complicated man. He didn't like to practice; instead he'd prepare for concerts mentally, running the piece over and over, playing with imaginary fingers. When he was a little baby, it was said that instead of crying, he would hum. He had perfect pitch and could read music before he could read words. So perhaps what you see in this video is just — for him — his way of "playing." He could switch seamlessly from fingering the piano to a purely virtual music-making; he could move fluently from real to not. Or maybe what we see him doing is something we all can do — but geniuses get there more often — reach a state of total absorption. Gould in his living room, for some reason, reminds me of Michael Jordan playing basketball or Etta James singing the blues; there's a concentration, a zoning in, that's so deep it feels special, like a kind of ecstasy. The 'Flow State' Athletes, of course, call this "being in the zone." Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced MEE-high, CHEECH-sent-mee-high) calls it "the flow state." When you are in it, writes neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, "attention is focused on a limited perceptual field that receives your full concentration and complete investment. Action and awareness merge." You get so deeply into your head, you lose track of everything except what you're doing. There was a surgeon, Csikszentmihalyi says, who wasn't aware that the roof of his operating room had collapsed until he was done with the surgery. In this state, "what you think becomes what you do," Levitin writes. We "get wonderfully, blissfully lost in an activity, losing all track of time, of ourselves, our problems." How one gets there — that's still a mystery. Practice is important. Tenacity matters. Talent helps. When you find your "flow," your brain changes. Dopamine and noradrenaline kick in, GABA neurons get suppressed; sex, hunger, thirst matter less, you are free to play more deeply with stream-of-conscious associations; you are chemically released and can now roam far and wide. Yes, you have no idea where you are or how this is happening; but that it's happening must be one of the most wonderful experiences ever. When I watch Glenn Gould walking back to his piano, carried there by an 18th-century fugue, I see a man transported, a man not lost, but found, a man in a state of grace. If there is a heaven, Glenn Gould at that moment is very close.  Glenn Gould is playing bits and pieces of J.S. Bach's Partita #2. The scene was shot in 1959 when Gould was a young man. It comes from Bruno Monsaingeon's documentary The Art of the Piano, which features short profiles of many great 20th-century pianists. The discussion of flow states comes from Daniel J. Levitin's new book, The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload.

Question: Foreign Policy: China's Sudden Change Of Yuan

There's been a spate of stories over the past few days suggesting that China is about to shift its policy on the yuan, allowing the currency to appreciate against the dollar.  Keith Bradsher's latest in the New York Times has the most detail, so let's look at his story:   The Chinese government is set to announce a revision of its currency policy in the coming days that will allow greater variation in the value of its currency combined with a small but immediate jump in its value against the dollar, people with knowledge of the consensus emerging in Beijing said Thursday...  The model for the upcoming shift in currency policy is China's move in 2005, when the leadership allowed the renminbi to jump 2 percent overnight against the dollar and then trade in a wider daily range, but with a trend toward further strengthening against the dollar. For the upcoming announcement, however, China is likely to emphasize that the value of the renminbi can fall as well as rise on any given day, so as to discourage a flood of speculative investment into China betting on rapid further appreciation, they said.  The emerging consensus within the Chinese leadership comes as Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner held meetings on Thursday with senior Hong Kong officials and prepared to fly on Thursday evening to Beijing for a meeting with Vice Premier Wang Qishan.    Now, given the degree of hostility between China and the United States as late as last month, we have to ask the question:  what caused the shift in China's policy?  Bradsher provides multiple answers:   China's commerce ministry, which is very close to the country's exporters, has strenuously and publicly opposed a rise in the value of China's currency over the past month. But it appears to have lost the struggle in Beijing as other interest groups have argued that China is too dependent on the dollar, that a more flexible currency would make it easier to manage the Chinese economy and that China is becoming increasingly isolated on the world stage because of its steadfast opposition to any appreciation of the renminbi since July, 2008...  People with knowledge of the policy deliberations in Beijing said that Chinese officials had made the decision to shift the country's currency policy mainly in response to an assessment of economic conditions in China, and less in response to growing pressure from the United States and, less publicly, from the European Union and from developing countries.  So, what's going on?  First, it's possible that the policy shift will just be a token move.  I'm confident that China won't appreciate as much as, say, Chuck Schumer wants.  That said,  this doesn't sound like a token-y move.   If China's shift is a real one, there appear to be three possible sources of change:  1)  Domestic factors and actors convinced China's leadership that diminishing marginal returns for keeping the yuan fixed and masively undervalued had kicked in;  2)  China responded to mounting multilateral pressure and feared being isolated at the upcoming G-20 meetings.   3)  China responded to threats of unilateral U.S. action, such as being named as a currency manipulator, and/or calls for a trade war;  These are not mutually exclusive arguments, and we might never know exactly what caused China's .  But for the record, I think (1) and (2) mattered a hell of a lot more than (3).  That said, I can't rule out the possibility that their antics helped scare China into action.   Yuan hawks like Paul Krugman and Fred Bergsten have been very silent as of late.  I'll be very curious to read their reactions to this latest turn of events.   Am I missing anything?

Question: Stanley Corngold - 1905: A Literary Response to Modernity

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

This talk deals with representative works of German and Hapsburg fiction circa 1905. Stanley Corngold covers literature produced by the genius of Thomas Mann (1875-1955), Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), Robert Musil (1880-1942) and Franz Kafka (1883-1924), that registered swiftly changing perceptions of human time and space owing to the frenetic pace of Central European modernization. As the literary community responded to technical innovations in the manufacture of commodities; the associated acquisition of wealth, producing changes in class-structure; the growth of cities, creating centers of simultaneous but dissociated activity requiring new medial connection, some saw these changes as matters of great intellectual interest, others as signs of the pathological breakdown of older norms and values.

Question: Biden Helps Monitor Pakistani Elections

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

As Pakistanis voted on Monday in a delayed parliamentary election, several hundred foreigners, including several U.S. senators, fanned out across the country to monitor the vote.  Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden, one of the monitors, tells Renee Montagne what he saw. RENEE MONTAGNE, host:   This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.  In Pakistan, a day of voting was slowed by fears of violence. Those fears were certainly well-founded. After weeks of suicide and car bombings, bombs went off today at several polling stations.  And violence isn't the only concern. Many Pakistanis were also expecting that the election will be rigged. To try to head off that possibility, three U.S. senators have traveled to Pakistan to observe the elections. And we spoke earlier this morning before the polls closed with one of them, Senator Joseph Biden, who's chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Good morning.  Senator JOSEPH BIDEN (Democrat, Delaware): Good morning. How are you, Renee?  MONTAGNE: Fine, thank you. Now, I gather you're at a polling station in Lahore?  Sen. BIDEN: I'm at a polling place right now in Lahore at a high school. And actually it's more than polling place. There's more than one district in which you can come into this polling place and vote. And it's the second one that we've visited, in addition to visiting with leaders of the various political parties today.  MONTAGNE: And what are you seeing there?  Sen. BIDEN: What I'm seeing there is on the surface a fairly orderly process. The perception here is that some of the violence you've seen is - was perpetrated to try to persuade people not to come to the polls. The turnout in the places we've been has been steady but not overwhelming. The polling place I'm at now, I just asked the election commissioner, they have 1,300 registered voters, 300 have voted so far. They expect 200 more, which is about what happened in 2002. So there...  MONTAGNE: Is there...  Sen. BIDEN: ...there's a sense of regularity here. But to give you one example, you vote here by the party's symbol. There'll be a candidate's name and then next to it is a symbol. The symbol of a bicycle represents Musharraf's party.  MONTAGNE: Right.  Sen. BIDEN: A lion represents Sharif's party. And one of the candidate's in Sharif's party - in this particular polling place - they put a pussy cat - a house cat - instead of a lion on the ballot. So there is some chicanery, but the question is whether there'll be enough of a sense among Pakistanis this has been basically fair or not when it's all over. That remains to be seen.  MONTAGNE: So you can tell a little bit about signs of vote rigging, but obviously, you know, the day isn't over and you are an observer outside the polls. What do you think the U.S. should do if the election isn't free and fair?  Sen. BIDEN: Well, if the election is perceived by the Pakistanis as being unfair and rigged and Musharraf's party ends up with a clear majority, which no one expects, I for one as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee would be prepared to introduce legislation cutting off financial assistance in part for the military, because that's the only leverage point I think we really have.   But the expectation, even among the opposition parties here, is that they're not going to be, quote, so brazen as to see - allow the world to say this election was stolen. But no one thinks this is going to be what we consider in the States, you know, a completely free and fair election. There's going to be some chicanery. The question is, is there enough credibility when this all ends that the process toward democratization continues? And you know, that'll depend on the outcome.  MONTAGNE: Senator, thank you.  Sen. BIDEN: Thank you very, very much for having me.  MONTAGNE: Senator Joseph Biden joined us from Lahore, Pakistan, where he's monitoring that country's elections.
