Selling the American Dream with Products Made in China
When Ralph Lauren won the job of designing and producing the 2012 US Olympic uniforms, he could have calculatedly issued a press release stating that “in support of our athletes and the nation’s job market, he was going to find a US factory and have the team’s uniforms made locally, even if it meant a slim profit margin.” Had he done this, he would be a hero right now, rather than a joke.

In spite of all her hard work and her innate genius, Paige Barnes remains a virtually unappreciated artist in a town that is known for failing to appreciate its working artists.
The Show That Went On: How It All Turned Out
The theme of this show was “First Times,” so each of us talked about a first experience: first girlfriend, first trip to Europe, first road trip, first Communion. I’d originally pitched mine as the story of doing my first yoga headstand. After a while, though, the first headstand story became intertwined with another first time story: that of losing my job. How did I put them together? I hope you’ll listen and find out.
