“Teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.”
Patrick Lencioni
FRONTIERS OF FLIGHT: “An aeroplane full of passengers, out of control at 17,000 feet, with the captain stuck outside the aircraft.”
The Washington Post's one-time fashion editor now senior critic-at-large Robin Givhan put it succinctly when she wrote: "The cover did not give Kamala D. Harris due respect. It was overly familiar. It was a cover image that, in effect, called Harris by her first name without invitation."
In her and Vogue's defence, Wintour toldThe New York Times it was never her intention to disrespect Harris, quite the opposite. "All of us [at Vogue] felt very, very strongly that the less formal portrait of the Vice President-elect really reflected the moment that we were living in ... something that was very, very accessible, and approachable and real," she said.
As the nation’s first Madame Vice President-elect, Kamala Harrisrepresents a new dawn in American politics. So naturally, the backdrops for her print and digital Vogue images were going to be wholly original. Shot by Tyler Mitchell, the former reflects Harris at her casual best: Converse sneakers and Donald Deal blazer—styling choices that were her own—and a bright smile. Still, a closer look at the picture reveals a tribute to a formative chapter of Harris’s life: her time as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc’s Alpha chapter at Howard University.
Dr. Bateson lived with Mead in Greenwich Village, but with her mother frequently away for her work, she grew up surrounded by a large network of friends in her building — a communal approach to child-rearing that she later recommended.
“We had the bottom two floors and they had the top and there was a backyard, and it was just terrific,” Dr. Bateson told the New York Times in 2010. “I got free siblings! My mother created a village, and it was wonderful.” (She spent summers in California with her father, who remarried.)

Will Self: How Should We Be Reading?
“There’s always this quality of endeavor about reading—and at the same time, in cognitive terms it’s hard work. When someone reading complex passages of prose—ones, say, that attempt to convey human lives in all their manifold sensuous and intellectual complexity—is placed in a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner, we can see on the machine’s visual display that almost all of their brain is lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. Not only that, but the parts of the brain employed when actually talking, walking or making love are illuminated by the very act of reading about talking, walking or making love.” – LitHub
