Skip to comments.The new American divide
Posted on 01/25/2012 8:44:30 PM PST by JerseyanExile
America is coming apart. For most of our nation's history, whatever the inequality in wealth between the richest and poorest citizens, we maintained a cultural equality known nowhere else in the worldfor whites, anyway. "The more opulent citizens take great care not to stand aloof from the people," wrote Alexis de Tocqueville, the great chronicler of American democracy, in the 1830s. "On the contrary, they constantly keep on easy terms with the lower classes: They listen to them, they speak to them every day."
Americans love to see themselves this way. But there's a problem: It's not true anymore, and it has been progressively less true since the 1960s.
People are starting to notice the great divide. The tea party sees the aloofness in a political elite that thinks it knows best and orders the rest of America to fall in line. The Occupy movement sees it in an economic elite that lives in mansions and flies on private jets. Each is right about an aspect of the problem, but that problem is more pervasive than either political or economic inequality. What we now face is a problem of cultural inequality.
When Americans used to brag about "the American way of life"a phrase still in common use in 1960they were talking about a civic culture that swept an extremely large proportion of Americans of all classes into its embrace. It was a culture encompassing shared experiences of daily life and shared assumptions about central American values involving marriage, honesty, hard work and religiosity.
Over the past 50 years, that common civic culture has unraveled. We have developed a new upper class with advanced educations, often obtained at elite schools, sharing tastes and preferences that set them apart from mainstream America. At the same time, we have developed a new lower class, characterized not by poverty but by withdrawal from America's core cultural institutions. To illustrate just how wide the gap has grown between the new upper class and the new lower class, let me start with the broader upper-middle and working classes from which they are drawn, using two fictional neighborhoods that I hereby label Belmont (after an archetypal upper-middle-class suburb near Boston) and Fishtown (after a neighborhood in Philadelphia that has been home to the white working class since the Revolution).
To be assigned to Belmont, the people in the statistical nationwide databases on which I am drawing must have at least a bachelor's degree and work as a manager, physician, attorney, engineer, architect, scientist, college professor or content producer in the media. To be assigned to Fishtown, they must have no academic degree higher than a high-school diploma. If they work, it must be in a blue-collar job, a low-skill service job such as cashier, or a low-skill white-collar job such as mail clerk or receptionist.
People who qualify for my Belmont constitute about 20% of the white population of the U.S., ages 30 to 49. People who qualify for my Fishtown constitute about 30% of the white population of the U.S., ages 30 to 49.
I specify white, meaning non-Latino white, as a way of clarifying how broad and deep the cultural divisions in the U.S. have become. Cultural inequality is not grounded in race or ethnicity. I specify ages 30 to 49what I call prime-age adultsto make it clear that these trends are not explained by changes in the ages of marriage or retirement.
In Belmont and Fishtown, here's what happened to America's common culture between 1960 and 2010. Marriage: In 1960, extremely high proportions of whites in both Belmont and Fishtown were married94% in Belmont and 84% in Fishtown. In the 1970s, those percentages declined about equally in both places. Then came the great divergence. In Belmont, marriage stabilized during the mid-1980s, standing at 83% in 2010. In Fishtown, however, marriage continued to slide; as of 2010, a minority (just 48%) were married. The gap in marriage between Belmont and Fishtown grew to 35 percentage points, from just 10.
Single parenthood: Another aspect of marriagethe percentage of children born to unmarried womenshowed just as great a divergence. Though politicians and media eminences are too frightened to say so, nonmarital births are problematic. On just about any measure of development you can think of, children who are born to unmarried women fare worse than the children of divorce and far worse than children raised in intact families. This unwelcome reality persists even after controlling for the income and education of the parents.
In 1960, just 2% of all white births were nonmarital. When we first started recording the education level of mothers in 1970, 6% of births to white women with no more than a high-school educationwomen, that is, with a Fishtown educationwere out of wedlock. By 2008, 44% were nonmarital. Among the college-educated women of Belmont, less than 6% of all births were out of wedlock as of 2008, up from 1% in 1970.
Industriousness: The norms for work and women were revolutionized after 1960, but the norm for men putatively has remained the same: Healthy men are supposed to work. In practice, though, that norm has eroded everywhere. In Fishtown, the change has been drastic. (To avoid conflating this phenomenon with the latest recession, I use data collected in March 2008 as the end point for the trends.)
The primary indicator of the erosion of industriousness in the working class is the increase of prime-age males with no more than a high school education who say they are not available for workthey are "out of the labor force." That percentage went from a low of 3% in 1968 to 12% in 2008. Twelve percent may not sound like much until you think about the men we're talking about: in the prime of their working lives, their 30s and 40s, when, according to hallowed American tradition, every American man is working or looking for work. Almost one out of eight now aren't. Meanwhile, not much has changed among males with college educations. Only 3% were out of the labor force in 2008.
There's also been a notable change in the rates of less-than-full-time work. Of the men in Fishtown who had jobs, 10% worked fewer than 40 hours a week in 1960, a figure that grew to 20% by 2008. In Belmont, the number rose from 9% in 1960 to 12% in 2008.
Crime: The surge in crime that began in the mid-1960s and continued through the 1980s left Belmont almost untouched and ravaged Fishtown. From 1960 to 1995, the violent crime rate in Fishtown more than sextupled while remaining nearly flat in Belmont. The reductions in crime since the mid-1990s that have benefited the nation as a whole have been smaller in Fishtown, leaving it today with a violent crime rate that is still 4.7 times the 1960 rate.
Religiosity: Whatever your personal religious views, you need to realize that about half of American philanthropy, volunteering and associational memberships is directly church-related, and that religious Americans also account for much more nonreligious social capital than their secular neighbors. In that context, it is worrisome for the culture that the U.S. as a whole has become markedly more secular since 1960, and especially worrisome that Fishtown has become much more secular than Belmont. It runs against the prevailing narrative of secular elites versus a working class still clinging to religion, but the evidence from the General Social Survey, the most widely used database on American attitudes and values, does not leave much room for argument.
For example, suppose we define "de facto secular" as someone who either professes no religion at all or who attends a worship service no more than once a year. For the early GSS surveys conducted from 1972 to 1976, 29% of Belmont and 38% of Fishtown fell into that category. Over the next three decades, secularization did indeed grow in Belmont, from 29% in the 1970s to 40% in the GSS surveys taken from 2006 to 2010. But it grew even more in Fishtown, from 38% to 59%.
It can be said without hyperbole that these divergences put Belmont and Fishtown into different cultures. But it's not just the working class that's moved; the upper middle class has pulled away in its own fashion, too. If you were an executive living in Belmont in 1960, income inequality would have separated you from the construction worker in Fishtown, but remarkably little cultural inequality. You lived a more expensive life, but not a much different life. Your kitchen was bigger, but you didn't use it to prepare yogurt and muesli for breakfast. Your television screen was bigger, but you and the construction worker watched a lot of the same shows (you didn't have much choice). Your house might have had a den that the construction worker's lacked, but it had no StairMaster or lap pool, nor any gadget to monitor your percentage of body fat. You both drank Bud, Miller, Schlitz or Pabst, and the phrase "boutique beer" never crossed your lips. You probably both smoked. If you didn't, you did not glare contemptuously at people who did.
When you went on vacation, you both probably took the family to the seashore or on a fishing trip, and neither involved hotels with five stars. If you had ever vacationed outside the U.S. (and you probably hadn't), it was a one-time trip to Europe, where you saw eight cities in 14 daysnot one of the two or three trips abroad you now take every year for business, conferences or eco-vacations in the cloud forests of Costa Rica.
You both lived in neighborhoods where the majority of people had only high-school diplomasand that might well have included you. The people around you who did have college degrees had almost invariably gotten them at state universities or small religious colleges mostly peopled by students who were the first generation of their families to attend college. Except in academia, investment banking, a few foundations, the CIA and the State Department, you were unlikely to run into a graduate of Harvard, Princeton or Yale.
Even the income inequality that separated you from the construction worker was likely to be new to your adulthood. The odds are good that your parents had been in the working class or middle class, that their income had not been much different from the construction worker's, that they had lived in communities much like his, and that the texture of the construction worker's life was recognizable to you from your own childhood. Taken separately, the differences in lifestyle that now separate Belmont from Fishtown are not sinister, but those quirks of the upper-middle class that I mentionedthe yogurt and muesli and the restare part of a mosaic of distinctive practices that have developed in Belmont. These have to do with the food Belmonters eat, their drinking habits, the ages at which they marry and have children, the books they read (and their number), the television shows and movies they watch (and the hours spent on them), the humor they enjoy, the way they take care of their bodies, the way they decorate their homes, their leisure activities, their work environments and their child-raising practices. Together, they have engendered cultural separation.
It gets worse. A subset of Belmont consists of those who have risen to the top of American society. They run the country, meaning that they are responsible for the films and television shows you watch, the news you see and read, the fortunes of the nation's corporations and financial institutions, and the jurisprudence, legislation and regulations produced by government. They are the new upper class, even more detached from the lives of the great majority of Americans than the people of Belmontnot just socially but spatially as well. The members of this elite have increasingly sorted themselves into hyper-wealthy and hyper-elite ZIP Codes that I call the SuperZIPs.
In 1960, America already had the equivalent of SuperZIPs in the form of famously elite neighborhoodsplaces like the Upper East Side of New York, Philadelphia's Main Line, the North Shore of Chicago and Beverly Hills. But despite their prestige, the people in them weren't uniformly wealthy or even affluent. Across 14 of the most elite places to live in 1960, the median family income wasn't close to affluence. It was just $84,000 (in today's purchasing power). Only one in four adults in those elite communities had a college degree. By 2000, that diversity had dwindled. Median family income had doubled, to $163,000 in the same elite ZIP Codes. The percentage of adults with B.A.s rose to 67% from 26%. And it's not just that elite neighborhoods became more homogeneously affluent and highly educatedthey also formed larger and larger clusters.
If you are invited to a dinner party by one of Washington's power elite, the odds are high that you will be going to a home in Georgetown, the rest of Northwest D.C., Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac or McLean, comprising 13 adjacent ZIP Codes in all. If you rank all the ZIP Codes in the country on an index of education and income and group them by percentiles, you will find that 11 of these 13 D.C.-area ZIP Codes are in the 99th percentile and the other two in the 98th. Ten of them are in the top half of the 99th percentile.
Similarly large clusters of SuperZIPs can be found around New York City, Los Angeles, the San Francisco-San Jose corridor, Boston and a few of the nation's other largest cities. Because running major institutions in this country usually means living near one of these cities, it works out that the nation's power elite does in fact live in a world that is far more culturally rarefied and isolated than the world of the power elite in 1960. And the isolation is only going to get worse. Increasingly, the people who run the country were born into that world. Unlike the typical member of the elite in 1960, they have never known anything but the new upper-class culture. We are now seeing more and more third-generation members of the elite. Not even their grandparents have been able to give them a window into life in the rest of America.
Why have these new lower and upper classes emerged? For explaining the formation of the new lower class, the easy explanations from the left don't withstand scrutiny. It's not that white working class males can no longer make a "family wage" that enables them to marry. The average male employed in a working-class occupation earned as much in 2010 as he did in 1960. It's not that a bad job market led discouraged men to drop out of the labor force. Labor-force dropout increased just as fast during the boom years of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s as it did during bad years.
As I've argued in much of my previous work, I think that the reforms of the 1960s jump-started the deterioration. Changes in social policy during the 1960s made it economically more feasible to have a child without having a husband if you were a woman or to get along without a job if you were a man; safer to commit crimes without suffering consequences; and easier to let the government deal with problems in your community that you and your neighbors formerly had to take care of.
But, for practical purposes, understanding why the new lower class got started isn't especially important. Once the deterioration was under way, a self-reinforcing loop took hold as traditionally powerful social norms broke down. Because the process has become self-reinforcing, repealing the reforms of the 1960s (something that's not going to happen) would change the trends slowly at best. "If enough Americans look unblinkingly at the nature of the problem, they'll fix it.That's the American way." --Charles Murray
Meanwhile, the formation of the new upper class has been driven by forces that are nobody's fault and resist manipulation. The economic value of brains in the marketplace will continue to increase no matter what, and the most successful of each generation will tend to marry each other no matter what. As a result, the most successful Americans will continue to trend toward consolidation and isolation as a class. Changes in marginal tax rates on the wealthy won't make a difference. Increasing scholarships for working-class children won't make a difference.
The only thing that can make a difference is the recognition among Americans of all classes that a problem of cultural inequality exists and that something has to be done about it. That "something" has nothing to do with new government programs or regulations. Public policy has certainly affected the culture, unfortunately, but unintended consequences have been as grimly inevitable for conservative social engineering as for liberal social engineering.
The "something" that I have in mind has to be defined in terms of individual American families acting in their own interests and the interests of their children. Doing that in Fishtown requires support from outside. There remains a core of civic virtue and involvement in working-class America that could make headway against its problems if the people who are trying to do the right things get the reinforcement they neednot in the form of government assistance, but in validation of the values and standards they continue to uphold. The best thing that the new upper class can do to provide that reinforcement is to drop its condescending "nonjudgmentalism." Married, educated people who work hard and conscientiously raise their kids shouldn't hesitate to voice their disapproval of those who defy these norms. When it comes to marriage and the work ethic, the new upper class must start preaching what it practices.
Changing life in the SuperZIPs requires that members of the new upper class rethink their priorities. Here are some propositions that might guide them: Life sequestered from anybody not like yourself tends to be self-limiting. Places to live in which the people around you have no problems that need cooperative solutions tend to be sterile. America outside the enclaves of the new upper class is still a wonderful place, filled with smart, interesting, entertaining people. If you're not part of that America, you've stripped yourself of much of what makes being American special.
Such priorities can be expressed in any number of familiar decisions: the neighborhood where you buy your next home, the next school that you choose for your children, what you tell them about the value and virtues of physical labor and military service, whether you become an active member of a religious congregation (and what kind you choose) and whether you become involved in the life of your community at a more meaningful level than charity events.
Everyone in the new upper class has the monetary resources to make a wide variety of decisions that determine whether they engage themselves and their children in the rest of America or whether they isolate themselves from it. The only question is which they prefer to do.
That's it? But where's my five-point plan? We're supposed to trust that large numbers of parents will spontaneously, voluntarily make the right choice for the country by making the right choice for themselves and their children?
Yes, we are, but I don't think that's naive. I see too many signs that the trends I've described are already worrying a lot of people. If enough Americans look unblinkingly at the nature of the problem, they'll fix it. One family at a time. For their own sakes. That's the American way.
Life sequestered from anybody not like yourself tends to be self-limiting. Places to live in which the people around you have no problems that need cooperative solutions tend to be sterile. America outside the enclaves of the new upper class is still a wonderful place, filled with smart, interesting, entertaining people. If you're not part of that America, you've stripped yourself of much of what makes being American special.
which is the obligatory nod to political correctness.
American liberalism from both parties is always feeding and supporting our weaknesses, all of us know the big city welfare stuff, but when my parents retired and moved to the country, my step dad learned that his pond (and/or?) fencing for the cattle was subsidized by the government, as anti-welfare people we had a huge laugh, but he accepted the money nonetheless.
I was surprised to learn during the 1970s how corporations were seduced by government.
From ghetto, to farm, to the Corporate suite, they suck us in and buy us.
"Single parenthood: Another aspect of marriagethe percentage of children born to unmarried womenshowed just as great a divergence.

Which is the main problem; it's not the increase of the poor, it's the increase of the underclass. It's not poor people losing jobs and income, it's an underclass that has never worked and an underclass that doens't WANT to better themsleves and become part of a healthy society and a part of a healthy society that will welcome them if they get and keep a job, end up following the law, and participate actively in the community. They don't want to, they want to be unhappy, they want to be miserable, they want to be alienated and they are striking out at a community that wants to welcome them as long as they contribute and end up not wrecking other people's lives. I wish the author would pay attention to the difference.
Lincoln set the stage.
In 1972 a church was established to turn it's congregations away from anything white. Seems to have done a bang up job.
A lot of the so called new upper class is dominated by the entertainment industry with the billions they make and while financially they are upper class, their attitudes are quite different. Their perspectives are different and because of some sense that it is all about luck, they treat the 'lessers' of society like dirt do it because they have to make very clear how different they are from normal people. The way people make their money is how they treat people if and when they become successful. Actors treat people like dirt usually and people like Gates and Forbes and Ford and Carnegie aren't tyrants because they understand that it's hard work and appreciate people who show the same traits.
That is definately one thing that I have to agree with. He didn't realize taht while slaves were good, there were also the bad types that were also freed. If Lincoln had seen the reality of the system, then I am sure that he would have understood a lot more than he did when he started that war.
If not for this very problem, our soceity wouldn't be as badly (and quickly) deteriorating as it is now. We would also have a much less stressed welfare system.
I don't think there's any political correctness there. Logically it has to be factual that there is creativity, intelligence and ability across all communities in America, and not just in Belmont. Thus, limiting yourself to only Belmont, limits yourself.
If the author was shooting for something politically correct then he would have said something about race, or women or homosexuals. He made clear, however, that he was talking about whites in both Belmont and Fishtown. That's not politically correct.
I think that the reason so many of our leaders are useless rinos, is that successful people want to avoid, are the type to avoid, strife, disagreement, argument, they are the types that seek consensus to advance their small differences within polite limits.
Mostly that is just reality, many of the people here are in corporate life, offices, they know that there are certain limits to what that type of workplace will tolerate, can tolerate. Many blue collar workers, small business people, Contractors, became such, because they don't fit in at the office, I admire people destined for great things, who strive to expose themselves to social and intellectual challenges.
It is interesting to see where Gingrich came from, Reagan came from, Palin came from.
While even the Bushes make an effort to fully give themselves to the military, and life, and even Texas, Romney does not for example, and regardless of the complaints, I think we all agree that the Bushes efforts probably help them.
Yes, it's definitely a different world today for those who remember growing up decades ago. For one thing, the TV wasn't so full of smut and the kids could grow up more innocent.
His new book is due I think Jan 31.
He has done a fine job describing what we all feel.
He got too much attention on race in The Bell Curve - so intentionally omitted it - so people could get his message.
That is a fact.
In the past we hid things from our parents, and as parents, we hid things from our kids
The reality is that we strove to not do wrong at all, but if, or when we slipped up, we tried to conceal it, bury it, and move on, always fighting our worse impulses, and fighting to reinforce good among others, and in turn, they tried to reinforce and encourage goodness in us.
The culture wall was broken down, and now it is the worship of money that drives us, if there is a short term, but profitable return on fart jokes, or homosexuality, or cussing on a TV show for a writer, or Producer, then they get the money and run, and God knows that it is much easier writing than that old stuff, which must have been extremely demanding in talent and skill to produce.
And then the Morlocks will eat them. Yum! Brains!
I was born and raised in Kensington, the Philadelphia neighborhood immediately to the north of Fishtown. My grandparents lived in Fishtown. In 1999, I worked in clinics at K&A and Hunting Park.
Only a flaming idiot would willing chose to live in any of the places that I mentioned above. I am glad, now, to be living more than 2,000 miles from those places. These neighborhoods are dangerous, course, rough, choked with debris, pockmarked with abandoned homes and buildings, and one must constantly be on guard and aware.
As many of you know I am constantly pushing for the end of compulsory godless and socialist-entitlement schooling. I doubt that our nation can survive another generation of it.
Conservatives, please see the urgency. We must shut down our nation's **godless*** soclialist-entitlement schools. We must see that every child in this nation has access to a **private** educational setting ( preferably not Prussian-style) that preaches Judeo Christian beliefs and upholds our nation's founding principles.
OTOH, the new european immigrants would work cheap, do dangerous jobs, and if they got killed, just hire another. Sure, you paid them, but you either got that back through the company store, housing, etc., or they had to fend for their own sustenance using those wages.
The harsh reality was that the cheap immigrant labor was cheaper in the long run, especially when the downside of incorrigible slaves was factored in.
I think slavery would have died a natural death ere long, even without the war.
It was; slaves were learning useful skills, more and more owners were freeing them, and more and more states were abolishing the system as time went on. If they had then taken on Eastern European immigrants as low paid labor, the entire system would have been gone and the system would have slowly been ended and blacks integrated as productive citizens, not forced to fend for themselves pretty much right away while adjusting to freedom. It would have also preseved Southern Culture and values and independence rather than smashing it with a bullet and shattering a process that was ending the system while not traumatizing the culture.
It's the desire for cheap labor htat started this, as usual.
The problem isn't so much with rich/poor as it is with makers/takers (legal AND illegal).
There are too many people here doing absolutely nothing to help themselves or others and expecting everyone else to pay for everything they desire. They expect to be handed high paying jobs for no skills. They think they deserve everything for little or no work on their part. They think they show up on time for work and get a bonus for it.
There are people who are getting welfare that aren't poor. They are at the grocery store buying far more expensive items in price and quantity than I can buy. No shame in handing over the debit card of other peoples' money that are funding their alcohol, rich meats, junk food and soda. They expect and demand more. They believe they deserve it.
Then (for example in Wisconsin) we have many government workers, at all levels, that get great benefits, work security that nobody in the private sector has, that scream the world will end and it will be chaos if they have to pay a little more for their healthcare (no changes in the cadillac plans or coverage), and a tiny portion of their pensions (used to be 100% funded). WI govt workers earn about 50% more on average than average private sector WI workers. The average WI worker doesn't have the awesome health plans they do, and they pay 20% of their hcare premiums, while the state workers now pay about 12%. They don't have pensions but 401k's. WI state workers had taxpayers paying 100% of their pensions, Governor Walker finally changed it so they pay a measly 5% of their pension, taxpayers still pay the other 95%. And for these small changes that resulted in no state worker layoffs, Walker is facing a recall (he will totally survive by the way). These losers believe they deserve it. They think they are entitled to it, and think they are doing worse than everyone else.
Makers vs takers. This is what's bringing the country down. Not necessarily rich/poor. Government under Obama is fomenting it on purpose.
It was on the way out.
The Industrial Revolution where machines could work faster and longer were going to overtake output of those areas just using human labor.
Problem is you can't really start working to change the way people think about another human being (less than people) if you can still legally treat them that way. Unless they can admit they know they're wrong, there's really only one way to deal with people like that.
Heh.. My daughter lives in Fishtown.
Murray only fails to state the obvious - - America's decline is inversely proportional to the growth of government and the socialist welfare state, which is the relentless work of selfish, corrupt Democrats and cowardly Republican enablers. Friggin' duh.
I don't know how Gate's treats people, but I have a friend that regularly goes to movies and he has seen Bill and his wife at the movie theater several times sitting in a row eating popcorn along with the rest of them.
Impressive, isn't it?
Goes to show that it's nto just the amount, but where it comes from.
I have told all my kids that I am proud of them that they find topics that go against the normal cultural grain, and that they hold their ground. I see the biggest divide with them and their peers in the liberal/conservative issues (we live in a very liberal area), and also the moral aspects of things.
But pretty cool when a friend asks "How come you don't swear?"
Yeah, kids could be kids.
I have a friend that works at Microsoft - multimillonare I imagine based on his position in the company and his nice home. But not to look or talk with him! We spent Christmas eve at our church helping with dinner for the homeless guys.
I think the other thing growing up years ago, my folks grew up during the Depression, they were very thrifty. When I was growing up I knew I was fortunate to live in a decent house in a decent neighborhood. But I didn't know of the real hard struggles my folks had - or the huge success they had (until later). The idea of being thrifty was there all along, which kept things at an even pace.
My home was no different than those of my dad's employees. (Well, except the one carpenter that lived on a lake!)
You know, I think that this divide is largely self imposed by a lot of people and a huge part of this is in fact just that a lot of people are giving up. When a lto of American kids see a future of supporting the entire planet with their taxes and the stability of other countries with their lives and not having a family of their own (because they have ot put off having kids while others breed 'em like rabbits and use welfare), why try?
No question there is creativity outside of Belmont. What he seems to be suggesting, however, is that the folks of Belmont will want to send their kids to school in Fishtown so that they can experience the diversity of our culture. But even Obama sends his kids to an elite private school, so Murray is dreaming if he thinks that's going to happen.
This is something that goes right to the heart of liberalism and the left, and is why they are so evil and corrosive.
The cardinal sin to liberals is...oddly enough..Hypocrisy.
Their defense against being accused of hypocrisy is a bizzare combination of Rousseauian Moral Relativism coupled with a strain of Orwellian Doublethink. They believe that all behaviors are matters of personal choice regardless of consequence, and one type of behavior is equally as valid as another.
To put it another way, they don't have any values or standards. If you don't have values or standards, you can never be called to be held to them, and can never be accused of Hypocrisy.
Most conservatives understand the Christian concept of hate the sin, love the sinner. We know that people are not pefect, but we do think that standards should be there as, at the very minimum, a goal to strive for. If you don't reach those standards, you try to learn from the experience and learn to try again.
Liberals think that every kid is going to have sex no matter what is done or said, so there is no valid reason to discourage it. And if you can't bring yourself to discourage it, then there is no reason you should make them suffer for doing something they can't help doing anyway. It just occurred to me that liberals might even go so far as to supply safe areas for kids to have sex, so they wouldn't do it in the woods or in a dangerous building. (Perhaps they already have, and I have simply not noticed.)
Throughout this article, the effects of liberalism coming home to roost are first and foremost.
Actually I think what he is saying (from the whole article) is that everyone sent their kids to the local school sp you had a mixture of Belmont and Fishtown in the same building, and in the streets, and in civic organizations, etc.
I remember when I went to Catholic school many moons ago, and granted they were private diocesan schools, but not elitist ultra-expensive schools, we had kids whose parents never went to college (like me) and we had kids whose parents went to college and set up computer systems for entire countries. Even though we were overwhelmingly white, there was a real diversity of background there.
What? Take all their stuff at gunpoint, and burn the rest?
In a couple of decades, the law could have been changed without that.
As far as changing cultural attitudes go, the biggest difference is that in one area the population was more honest about its attitudes while the other was sanctimoniously hypocritical.
Maybe, 150 years after that, we are getting over that as a society--and maybe not.
Either way, the damage was done to the Republic, and the Federal Government became the one to routinely impose its will upon the States instead of the other way around. Now we see the result of that.
Your son is right. It is pretty well known that slaves were not sent into the holds of tobacco ships being loaded: the hogsheads being loaded (Barrels 14 ft. long and ten ft. or more in diameter—the shipping containers of the day) could shift and crush someone, and the slaves represented an investment. It is no accident that dangerous jobs such as teamster, longshoreman, cop, and powder monkey (to name a few) ended up being taken by Irish and other immigrants—they were cheaper to replace.
Bump for later read.
Perhaps, but the split of the South was factored on more than just slavery. Maybe in time those things would have changed on their own over decades, but everyone lives in the here and now as well. If your family is not doing well and the economics are crushing you you're going to deal with short-term things that can help you rather than long-term that can't help you now when you need it.
So very true. Slavery was a minor issue, really, albeit the future of the insititution was a factor of division.
The idea of freeing the slaves was a further economic sanction to be imposed on the states which had lower immigration rates and relied on the production of labor intensive crops for their economies.
While the South was industrializing, which would have meant the eventual end to the North's lock on much of the finished goods trade which relied on cheap (exploitatively so) southern raw materials, or their reliance on foreign sources affected by trade sanctions, that had not reached the critical mass where the South was not still reliant on outside markets for its produce.
While the the idea of the taking of economically vital property without compensation, and the prevention of that property from being marketable in the expanding Union while decreasing in value were drivers in the schism, other economic factors played a bigger role.
With homegrown industrialization, though, the need for cheap labor would have declined, and with that decline, manumission would have gained popularity. Without that industrialization, one region simply exploited another, and used the weight of law to do so, especially with droves of new faces skewing the voting base in the House.
In all likelihood, the transition may have been significantly smoother, with more complete cultural integration, had the South simply been allowed to develop its own industrial base.
I really do not think Great Britain would have allowed the transition to go smoothly. Seeing that they were more than happy to back the South and were hoping a civil war would take the country down.

Los Angeles, CA, United States (NewsBahn) – If you're looking for more gift ideas for guys or girls, interesting T-shirts that celebs wear can certainly be a good gift for someone. Adrian Grenier is the latest actor whowas spotted wearing a new PJE Los Angeles T-shirt style. The "Entourage" actor was sporting the "Another Sleazy Producer" style in L.A.
Other styles include "Another Crooked Banker," "Let Me Make You a Star," "I Only Look Sincere" and "They Love Me in Japan." Shirts are available for men and women on PJE Los Angeles' website. In addition, the site has a Tera Patrick T-shirt collection for men, which features scantily clad drawings and images of the porn star, and some with sayings, including "You Know My Superpower." Just in time for the holidays… NYPD Requests Interview With Charlie Sheen The NYPD is after actor Charlie Sheen. No word on whether an arrest will be made, but the "Two and a Half Men" star is wanted for questioning.New York detectives have contacted Sheen's rep, asking for an interview with the famous Plaza Hotel guest. TMZ reported detectives contacted his manager, Mark Burg, and asked for the interview in connection with the criminal complaint filed by Capri Anderson.
Sheen's lawyer, Yale Galanter, would not comment on whether he'll make him available. Galanter did tell TMZ that after detectives reached out to Burg, he called detectives back and gave them some info on the case.
Galanter says he'll be speaking with cops again after Thanksgiving and will then make a decision on whether he, Charlie, or a combination thereof will fly to NYC for an interview. Green Day's Bassist Becomes A Father To A ThirdGreen Day's bassist Mike Dirnt's wife, Brittney Cade, gave birth Sunday night. Dirnt was in L.A. yesterday — when he told TMZ he was "super happy" about the birth of his third child. Dint has a daughter, Estelle, from his first marriage, and a son, Brixton, with Cade. Dint married Cade last year.
TMZ reportedly asked Dirnt if he had any names lined up for his new daughter — and he said, "Lots of special names … but I'm not going to let people Google them yet"

Eric Morel Says Abner Mares Bout Will Be Tough For Both
By Rey Colon
Puerto Rico's Eric Morel, the former 112-pound champion of the WBA, is very excited about his upcoming fight on April 21 in Cancun, Mexico - when he faces undefeated Mexican fighter Abner Mares (23-0-1, 13KOs), who owns the WBC's silver belt at bantamweight.
Morel, 36-years-old, suffered his last defeat in 2005 to Martin Castillo. After a three-year layoff due to legal issues, Morel returned to boxing in full force and won his last eleven fights - including wins over Heriberto Ruiz and Gerry Penalosa. Mares, 26-years-old, was the overall victor in Showtime's bantamweight tournament, defeating Vic Darchinyan and Joseph Agbeko.
Morel expects a very tough fight for both boxers.
"[The fight] will be in Cancun. It will be a really hard fight for both of us. It will not be easy for either of us.....he knows this and so do I. I was waiting for this opportunity and I'll be well prepared," Morel said.
Morel (46-2, 23 KOs) will travel to Mexico a week early to acclimatise to the altitude.
I think Mares is going to KO Morel. Not a bad fight, Morel is on the top 10 ranked Bantamweights. After this though, I want to see Abner fight Moreno. That's the real test at BW.Comment by sinca on 03-03-2012
Latitude, Longitude, and Elevation Cancún, Mexico is located at 21.1743 [latitude in decimal degrees], -86.8466 [longitude in decimal degrees] at an elevation/altitude of meters. The average elevation of Cancún, Mexico is 5 meters.Comment by Ringlife on 03-03-2012
I don't think so Mares is going to knockout Morel He's going to have more power in his punches at 122. He used to fight at that weight a while back.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (3)

The weather in most of the country has turned warm and even hot in some places. Yesterday I was walking for some "cooped up, crazy and need to get out...
By making this a life change you won't just do what's necessary. You'll incorporate healthy habits into everything you do, which will give you that continued success. You won't make those same bad decisions because that won't be what you want for your new life.
I was fortunate enough to befriend and get inspired by a 76-year-old neighbor who became like a grandmother to me in this challenging time. She worked out every day at a gym, walked at the park, was in fantastic health and told me of the promise for my future if I would just change my mindset.
Tell a young woman that she is beautiful when she is under 100 lbs. and see just how willing she will be to watch that scale tip. Remind her of how thin she is every time you see her, and she will do anything in her power to remain that way.
I've gone and reinvented myself. Again. But this time around, the new version of me doesn't have a new pen name. What I have done is lose more than 55 pounds over the past seven months.

Federal Land Management:
Challenges to Implementing the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act
GAO-10-259T: Published: Nov 17, 2009. Publicly Released: Nov 17, 2009.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service manage about 628 million acres of public land, mostly in 11 western states and Alaska. Under the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA) of 2000, revenue raised from selling BLM lands is available to the agencies, primarily to acquire nonfederal land within the boundaries of land they already own--known as inholdings. These inholdings can create significant land management problems. To acquire land, the agencies can nominate parcels under state-level interagency agreements or the Secretaries can use their discretion to initiate acquisitions. FLTFA expires in July 2010. This testimony discusses GAO's 2008 report: Federal Land Management: Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act Restrictions and Management Weaknesses Limit Future Sales and Acquisitions (GAO-08-196). Specifically, the testimony discusses (1) FLTFA revenue generated, (2) challenges to future sales, (3) FLTFA expenditures, (4) challenges to future acquisitions, and (5) agencies' implementation of GAO's recommendations. Among other things, GAO examined the act, agency guidance, and FLTFA sale and acquisition data, interviewed agency officials, and obtained some updated information.
(1) BLM raised most FLTFA revenue from land sales in Nevada. As of August 2009, BLM reported raising a total of $113.4 million from sale of about 29,400 acres. Since FLTFA was enacted in 2000 through August 2009, about 78 percent of the revenue raised, or about $88 million, has come from land transactions in Nevada. (2) BLM faces challenges to future sales under FLTFA. In particular, BLM state and field officials most frequently cited the limited availability of knowledgeable realty staff to conduct sales. We identified two additional issues hampering land sales activity under FLTFA. First, while BLM had identified land for sale in its land use plans, it had not made these sales a priority during the first 7 years of the FLTFA program. Furthermore, BLM had not set goals for sales or developed a sales implementation strategy. Second, some of the additional land BLM had identified for sale since the act would not generate revenue for acquisitions because the act only allows the deposit of revenue from the sale of lands identified for disposal on or before the date of the act. (3) Agencies had purchased few parcels with FLTFA revenue. In 2008, we reported that between August 2007--7 years after FLTFA was enacted--and January 2008, the four land management agencies had spent $13.3 million of the $95.7 million in revenue raised under FLTFA: $10.1 million using the Secretaries' discretion to acquire nine parcels of land and $3.2 million for administrative expenses to prepare land for FLTFA sales. More recently, as of November 2009, BLM reported spending a total of $43.8 million to acquire 28 parcels, including $24.6 million for 12 parcels through the state-level interagency process. (4) Agencies face challenges to completing additional acquisitions. BLM state and field officials GAO interviewed most commonly cited the time, cost, and complexity of the land acquisition process as a challenge to completing land acquisitions. Furthermore, the act's requirement to spend the majority of funds in the state in which revenue was generated has had the effect of making little revenue available for acquisitions outside of Nevada. The agencies also had not established procedures to track the implementation of the act's requirement that at least 80 percent of FLTFA revenue raised in each state be used to acquire inholdings in that state or to track the extent to which BLM is complying with agreed-upon fund allocations among the four participating agencies. (5) BLM has taken steps to implement GAO's recommendations. Specifically, BLM established FLTFA sale goals for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 and established a sales incentive program providing seed funds to state and field offices to identify and pre-screen properties for possible sale under FLTFA. As of November 2009, six states have agreed to participate in the program.

White Gzus ft. Sulaiman - Where It's At (Clasick Mix)
Two buzzmaking spitters from the Windy City, Gzus Piece and Blanco Caine have joined forced to form aptly-named duo White Gzus. Our introduction to the rappers both individully and as a duo, promo single Where It's At (Clasick Mix) offers an ear-catching combo of smoothness and street-ready grit. Doc Da Mindbenda's headnodic drums and idyllic flute samples set the mood as the collaborators spit vividly about their grind, as well as the struggle and crime that plague their hometown's streets. Michigan-repping Booth regular Sulaiman assists on the guest tip. This cut isn't attached to a larger set, but who knows? A little positive feedback might convince White Gzus to get to work on a full-blown joint project.

new bowling tactic
I'm taking a bowling class and I didn't do so good during the first week, which was last week. Yesterday, I came up with a way to help me get more strikes and spares: I'll pretend that Montoya's face is on the ball and that my least favorite drivers' faces (the weasel A.K.A. Kyle Busch, Harvick, Bowyer, Gilliland, and Burton) are on the pins. Now since there are 10 pins and only 5 drivers, their faces will be on 2 pins each.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

When you're making your approach to release the ball, do you aim at the pins or the arrows on the lane?
I had a 653 series Tuesday night and our anchor bowler got his first 300 that night - it was a blast!
- 1 Reply to David RayDog
I usually aim at the pins though I'm trying to look at the arrows more because I think I'll get more strikes and spares if I do that.
Yesterday's scores: 91 and 97
Strikes: 2
Spares: 3
Today's the last day. Bowling is optional today so I won't have scores up.
Scores: 79 and 74
Strikes: 0
Spares: 3
Scores: 61 and 68
Strikes: 1
Spares: 0
There will be one-on-one matches tommorow and Wednesday. Thursday is the last day and also the day of the final and when we get our stats. Bowling is optional that day so I don't know if I'll bowl or not.
Scores: 74 and 114
Strikes: 3
Spares: 1
No team competitions today. Instead, we had scratch games, which are one-on-one matches against the person with the same average as you. My opponent didn't show up so I had a bye and had to get a score of 75 or higher to win. I had a tie the first game because my ball went into the gutter during my third turn on the last frame (you get three turns on the last frame if you get a strike or a spare; I had a strike on my first turn). Also, I would had four strikes if I had gotten a turkey (three strikes in a row).
- 1 Reply to Melanie
Next week is the last week of class. Scratch games continue on Monday but I'm not sure about the last three days.
Scores: 106 and 120
Strikes: 3
Spares: 5
Today was my best day for three reasons: 1. I beat my highest score, 2. Both of my scores were above 100, and 3. I found out that my team won both halves of the regular team competition in our division, which means we're getting a plaque and we don't have to take the final.
Scores: 90 and 101
Strikes: 2
Spares: 5
My team is first in our division but the other teams are not too far behind us so we have to keep it up.
Scores: 117 and 75
Strikes: 3
Spares: 5 (three of which were in a row)
I beat my highest score by one point.

ATLANTA -- The Chicago Cubs could only muster a split of the four-game series against the Atlanta Braves after a 7-3 defeat in Thursday's finale.
HOW IT HAPPENED: This one was over just after it started as Matt Garza gave up a pair of two-run home runs in the first inning. Garza lasted just four innings, in large part due to the fact that he threw 28 of his 94 pitches in two at-bats by the Braves' Juan Francisco. He gave up five runs on five hits, including another home run from Freddie Freeman in the third inning. Geovany Soto had a fifth-inning home run for the Cubs
WHAT IT MEANS: With scouts on hand to watch him pitch, Garza didn't do a good job of selling himself to a contender. Garza is one of the more highly regarded starting pitchers available before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. He hasn't been sharp in his last two outings, though, as he has thrown 198 combined pitches and only lasted 9 1/3 innings. He walked three batters for the second consecutive time after not walking more than one over his previous six starts.
OUTSIDE THE BOX: Starlin Castro's offensive slide continued Thursday. He entered with five hits in his previous 35 at-bats (.143) going back to a June 24 game at Arizona. He then went 0-for-4 against the Braves on Thursday and was 2-for-16 in the four-game series. Manager Dale Sveum said he considered giving Castro a day off but had second thoughts, saying Castro's defense is too valuable to replace.
OFF BEAT: Despite the fact that Garza got Francisco on a ground ball to end the first inning, he still lost the battle. Francisco saw 16 pitches from Garza in the at-bat as he fouled off nine consecutive at one point. The person least interested in the pitcher-hitter duel was the Braves' Andrelton Simmons, who was on first base. Simmons had to break for second base on 10 consecutive two-strike, two-out pitches. After Francisco eventually grounded out, the bat boy brought an exhausted Simmons two cups of cold water.
UP NEXT: The Cubs will send left-hander Travis Wood (3-3, 3.05 ERA) to the mound Friday in the opener of a three-game series at New York. The Mets will counter with left-hander Johan Santana (6-4, 2.76) in the 6:10 p.m CST start from Citi Field.

These campus policies are often based on the specific curricular goals established at each college. Depending on the policies of a student's home college, charges for off-campus study may be based upon the program's cost, or may be based upon the college's own tuition. Additionally, some colleges may assess special fees for off-campus study.As a result, students should check with their Off-Campus Study Office and their Financial Aid Office to confirm how their college charges students for off-campus study programs, what additional campus fees may apply, and how financial aid may be used toward the cost of their program.
Note: Upon acceptance to the program, students will be required to pay a deposit, which will be applied toward the program fee.
Specific scholarships are available for the ACM Jordan Program; for more information, visit the AMIDEAST scholarship page.
Though ACM does not directly offer scholarships for its other off-campus study programs, we encourage students to seek outside funding to help finance their experience. For a variety of links to outside scholarship sources for off-campus study, go to the scholarship information page.
Please refer to the ACM Program Payment Policies sheet for information concerning cancellation policies.

JIM McINTOSH had a good day.
Jim, a onetime Villanova basketball star, was an FBI agent who lectured sports teams, local and national, pro and amateur, on the dangers of illegal drugs.
On this day in the summer of '86, he had a chance to reach athletes younger than he was used to, speaking at a basketball camp at St. Joseph's University for kids 9 to 17.
After his talk, a 10-year-old boy came up and asked, "If somebody comes up to you asking for help who's on drugs, will he be put in jail or given help?"
Jim told him he would be given help. Then a 14-year-old boy came up and told him how much he had enjoyed the talk.

ITW: How would you describe Malcolm Crowley?
Javier Solis: He is a hard nosed player. It would be great to have 9 kids like him. The best way to describe the way he plays is to compare him to Pete Rose.
ITW: He is in Sarasota now, so I am guessing he has signed already?
Javier Solis: He signed Saturday. He is not going to Sam Houston State.
ITW: What is his best position?
Javier Solis: He played shortstop here and he was an offensive shortstop. He can play second base as well, but he was our shortstop.
ITW: What is the best part of his game?
Javier Solis: He is an all around player who hits a bit, runs well, has average speed but plays very hard. He is a good hard worker who plays the game hard.
ITW: Are you familiar with Brandon Fahey, another kid from Texas who plays in the Orioles system? Is Malcolm a comparable player?
Javier Solis: Yes, he is a very similar player.
ITW: It looks like your primary position is shortstop. However, it seems you could play second base or left field. Which position are you most comfortable playing?
Malcolm Crowley: Most comfortable playing shortstop. It is my natural position.
ITW: Have the Orioles told you yet what position you will be playing and which team you will be assigned to?
Malcolm Crowley: They have not assigned me to a team yet, I should learn that on Friday. The Orioles have told me they want me to play twice a week at second base to make me a more versatile player.
ITW: What is the biggest part of your game? Speed, defense, hitting?
Malcolm Crowley: Hitting, hustling, I see the ball well and can put it into play. I feel that if I work hard and hustle, that will be my key to success.
ITW: You have signed a letter of intent to play for Sam Houston State. What influenced your decision to turn pro?
Malcolm Crowley: I did not want to pass up the opportunity to turn pro. It has been a dream of mine since I was small. The Orioles drafted me pretty high and I did not want to risk a career ending injury before I had the chance to play professionally. This is the dream of a lifetime for me.
ITW: You share the same last name as the Orioles hitting coach, Terry Crowley, any relation there?
Malcolm Crowley: I have been asked that question many times….he is no relation to me.
ITW: How is camp going for you? What are working on?
Malcolm Crowley: We work on conditioning and do a lot of hitting. Lots of repetition work on defense.
ITW: Which professional team did you follow growing up?
Malcolm Crowley: The hometown team, Houston Astros. I admired Craig Biggio when I was growing up.
ITW: How does it feel being drafted by a major league team?
Malcolm Crowley: It feels great. It is a dream come true for me. I signed Saturday and flew into camp Sunday night. The Orioles have been great to me.

5 Instagram Shots That Have to Stop
They called the baby boomers the Me Generation. But social media and photo-blasting sites like Instagram have given a whole new meaning to narcissism, or at least to the term "sharing is caring."
Millennials' lives are all out there for the public to see. We know when you get a haircut and a new pair of shoes. We've seen your boyfriend and your dog — 1,000 times.
But is it too much information? Sometimes, yes. And sometimes we're just sick of looking at all your photos. Here are five shots we are downright sick of seeing on your Instagram.
5. Girls kissing. Popular on Instagram, the "girls kissing" shot is often accompanied by a young man in the frame pointing victoriously, like Rick Ross pointing at ass. As if he just won the lottery. Woo-hoo. Except that we all know it's a tease of the cruelest kind. These young women are really not that freaky. Stop playin.'
If you are Jason Neroni, the chef at Superba Snack Bar, you are allowed to photograph your beautiful creations. If not, and you're just the one doing the eating, please stop.

4. Food. This one is pretty tired. We know you have a beautifully presented plate by chef Ludo Lefebvre or whoever else you're worshiping tonight as half the world starves. And yes, that well-arranged entree looks gorgeous.
But you're so special because you eat? Stop fronting and stuff your face. Taking pictures is for tourists.

3. Gym shots. This is usually a case of male vanity gone wild. Too much testosterone can make a guy believe that others like to look at him as much as he likes to look at himself. And that's rarely the case — unless you're Bradley Cooper.
There are many things guys don't get about girls, and this is chief among them: Women simply don't enjoy the visual as much as men do because your man parts, no matter how well sculpted, are comparatively disgusting (again, unless you're Bradley Cooper). They're why clothing was invented. Besides, if you're actually pretty enough to look at with your shirt off, you're probably gay (or Bradley Cooper).
2. Nails. Dear ladies: Guys might be slobs, but we really do try things to grab your attention, from the occasional haircut to getting our rides detailed. Some of this stuff, like getting a new set of wheels, can be quite expensive. Do you even notice? Of course not. But god forbid you get a $15 manicure without the entire globe sitting up and taking notice. Ditto when it comes to new shoes, clothing, and accessories that can be plastered on Instagram or Pinterest. And does every one of you have to make like a cougar clawing and snap a shot of your new French mani? It's a little too vain, even for you.

And the Instagram shot we most love to hate is ...
1. Instabrags. This selfie afflicts both men and women equally. You're showing off your dog, a new bicycle, or maybe even a dashboard temperature gauge (phew, it's hot!). But in the background you can clearly see the Mercedes, BMW or Audi your mom just bought you (or maybe it is your dad's — or your neighbor's).
Yes, we're aware you just can't drive 55 and thus must show us your speedometer in a shot that also includes the logo of your fine ride. Your bid to cloak your materialism as a public service announcement is fully transparent. Your friends are not green with envy. They want to puke at your crass lack of class. Those who really have it don't flaunt it this hard. Try to restrain yourself.

PreparingEnlistment.Prepared Method
Indicates that the transaction can be committed.
Assembly: System.Transactions (in System.Transactions.dll)
In the first (prepare) phase of a two phase commit, a resource manager implementing the Prepare method of the IEnlistmentNotification interface, calls this method to indicate that the transaction can be committed.
The resource manager can call the Done method at anytime before it has called this method. By doing so, the enlistment is casting a read only vote, meaning that it votes commit on the transaction but does not need to receive the final outcome.
Once this method is called by an enlistment and before it returns, it is possible that another thread or this same thread could make a call into the same enlistment method such as Rollback to perform a rollback. This can result in a deadlock situation if the resource manager implementation does not release resource locks until after this method returns.

Remembering Ronni Chasen: my reflections on a one-of-a-kind publicist
I don't remember the first time I met Ronni Chasen--it would have been sometime after I moved from New York to Los Angeles to become Billboard's West Coast Bureau Chief in 1998--but I do know that once she was in my professional life, she was a near constant figure...until Tuesday, when her life came to a devastatingly horrible end after someone fired five bullets into her chest on Sunset Blvd.
Ronni was unlike anyone I'd ever met. She seemed almost like a caricature -- a Broadway Danny Rose of the press world. She was a throwback to what seemed like an earlier time. In a world that now relies on email, she was an old-school press agent whose assistant placed her calls. She pushed relentlessly for her clients, primarily soundtrack composers in my case, and believed in them with an unwavering passion and commitment. She'd come at you--in her rapid fire, nasally voice-- pummeling you with a pitch, but she never held a grudge if you said no. She never wanted to burn a bridge since she knew she'd be crossing it again with another request very soon.
She seemingly knew everyone. Shortly after I'd moved to Los Angeles, she invited me to the "Message in a Bottle" premiere. We were at the after party and I mentioned I had a huge crush on Kevin Costner, who starred in the film. Before I could even make sure I still had lipstick on, she'd marched us both over to Costner. He greeted her with a big hug, and the next thing I knew, she'd introduced us and I stammering out something about how much "Bull Durham" was one of my all-time favorite movies. She was a fixture at industry events with her dark pants suits, shellacked ash-blonde hair always perfectly in place, and tinted glasses.
Even though her pitches often left me exhausted, they were always well-informed, and I was tremendously fond of Chasen and found her more endearing than annoying for several reasons. Ronni and her team, including Jeff Sanderson and Alana Kass--were among the most professional publicists I ever worked with. I cannot think of a single time that they pitched me on a story and, if I bit, they did not deliver. Ever. Additionally, in a way that few publicists are these days, Ronni was a tremendous advocate for her clients. She was always looking for ways to shoehorn them into stories if she couldn't land a stand-alone feature on them. She was relentless. If I was on deadline and didn't pick up her phone call, within the half hour, there would be an email from her, usually dictated to an assistant, explaining the reason for the call. And then another call. One of the few times she ever got irritated with me is when I went directly to one of her clients for an interview. I got a quick call reminding me that she represented the studio executive. I never went around her again. Unlike with many publicists who act solely as gatekeepers, there was no need to circumvent Ronni.
There's another reason I'll always remember Ronni fondly: After I left Billboard in 2006, she was one of the few publicists who pursued me as vigorously to pitch stories--and to invite me to events--as when I was still at the magazine. She bet on the person, not the position, and as my freelance world expanded, I never forgot the faith she'd shown in me. Our last story together through her company--a feature on Trent Reznor and his score for "The Social Network" --comes out today, Nov. 17, in Variety.
I also occasionally socialized with Ronni. She, I and two other female friends--a platinum recording artist and a manager with amazing bloodlines-- would go out for dinner. The reason I mention the other women's pedigrees, is that even with their illustrious backgrounds, Chasen's stories topped everyone's and we loved every minute of it and happily relinquished the floor. She'd forget about pitching and for a few hours, we'd gab and gossip. Every subject was on the table and off the record. We talked about everything and her ribald, acerbic sense of humor had us in stitches. I never left one of those dinners without a huge smile on my face and would be chuckling for days afterwards as I'd recall some outrageous story. Ronni had a great book in her that will now never be told. It's the dinners I will miss the most.
