Dear Colleagues: Well, that was . . . normal.
Leonard Pitts Jr.: Greed is only greed
Greed is good. That, you may recall, was the mantra of corporate raider Gordon Gekko in the 1987 film, "Wall Street." It came to symbolize the rapacious gluttony of that era ญญ-- and its rejection of the dewy-eyed idealism of the 1960s.
Leonard Pitts Jr.: Truth gets the final word
The American death toll from the novel coronavirus will soon pass 250,000. That's a quarter of a million people lying with a Buick parked on their chests, swimming in their own sweat, feeble as an August breeze, head pounding like a bass drum in the devil's rock band, dying.
