 How to Handle a Three-Year-Old (Who Just Happens to Be Your Boss)by Alf Gordon The two managers stare each other down, eyeball to eyeball. Manager the First stamps a foot and demands to know why Manager the Second would participate in making an executive decision for a group over which he has no responsibility. Second shouts back that the decision was made by higher-ups months previously and if First has issues about the situation he needs to take it up with his superiors.

How Free is Free Speech? Controversial Opinions and the First Amendment by Danny Davids I've been reading some lively discussion on a sister Web site concerning a particular political entertainer/instigator and recent comments he's made on his television show.
