Invidious Urbanity

From Roger Kennedy's appearance on Booknotes in 1989:

"LAMB: Monitor Radio -- there's some in our audience, like me, who remember Monitor Radio. Whatever happened to that? Why didn't it survive?

KENNEDY: Because in a commercial system, the notion that you could talk about a story as long as the story merits simply is unacceptable. Some things are worth talking about for, my goodness, four minutes or even six.

LAMB: Or even an hour.

KENNEDY: Yes, miraculously. Well, it's crazy. How are you going to get the commercial bites in there?

LAMB: When did it die?

KENNEDY: We fell off that train. Gosh, I don't remember because the management changed and we all departed in about '58. It may have gone on after that.

LAMB: Oh, it did. I remember.

KENNEDY: We didn't feel it was exactly the same."

The Deadly Combination of Atwater and Ailes

From Jeanne Simon's appearance on Booknotes in 1989: 

"I cared about [civil rights] because as a Catholic, a Roman Catholic, I belonged to the Catholic Interracial Council on the North Shore -- before I was in politics. I could see for myself that we were not getting anywhere very fast. And long before I was elected I was working for interracial integration. But to meet Paul [Simon], who was really actively doing something at it, again was a marvelous combination. He was working with Lutheran Human Relations in his area before I met him. And when we both came to Springfield we thought that this was an ideal way to put some of our faith into practice by working for the Fair Employment Practice Commission -- for working for fair housing. Some of these phrases seem very old fashioned now, but in 1956, 1958, those were very important, and we needed them."

MidCaps Set Up Short After Perfect Q1 Long

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Weekly squiggle analysis ... flipping through the charts I see a lot of shorts (and only one long -- the bonds). MidCap 400 (MDY) set up long at the end of January (now he tells us!) and has been in the minimum C target zone for the last several weeks. My chicken entrail reading may be screwy because of that August Flash Crash low, so take the voodoo with a grain of salt.

Billions -- Season One

Added on by C. Maoxian.

My buddy @StockJockey told me about this TV show, which I otherwise never would have heard of, probably ... it was kind of fun, kind of dumb ... it wasn't bad TV. Anyway, I sent StockJockey a screenshot after every episode I watched along with my comments (probably to his annoyance) ... here is the complete first season:
