In 2015, Stanford Business School published a fawning interview with Elizabeth Holmes, founder and CEO of Theranos, the now-discredited biotech company that claimed to have invented cheap, effective, and revolutionary blood-testing technology.
The baby boom generation—people now aged between 52 and 70—is being gradually pushed out of the workforce by layoffs, buyouts, and forced early retirements even as they try to work longer to make up for retirement losses during the financial crisis. But is any employer getting rid of them faster than the world’s premier investment bank?
It’s always a bit dangerous to make quick judgments about events outside your own country. That didn’t stop Martin Sorrell, CEO of the world’s biggest ad agency, from making an early assessment of US president-elect Donald Trump’s prospects.
Melania, it’s time to restart your career, whether or not Donald wins the White House.

The Duchess of Cambridge is the world’s best-known clothes horse. She regularly shows up at events wearing outfits by commercial designers who dominate the world’s big fashion shows—names such as Alexander McQueen, Erdem, Temperley, Jenny Packham, Mulberry, Jimmy Choo, Prabal Gurung, and Max Mara, as well as fast-fashion labels like Zara.

Everyone knows that retirement is an iffy proposition in the US. Americans either haven’t saved enough, don’t earn enough to salt away a nest egg, or will be faced with a broken Social Security system when we do retire.
If Hillary Clinton, now officially the Democratic candidate, wins the election in November, she’ll make history, and not just as America’s first female president. It would mean that for the first time ever, three of the world’s most powerful democracies would be led by women: the US, the UK, and Germany.
The city of Cleveland is gearing up for the invasion of 50,000 GOP conventioneers and assorted visitors next week and–despite the city’s clear ability to handle a crowd–it has issued tight security restrictions to ensure nothing goes awry during the controversial coronation of Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for president.
“What do you want to list as your profession–housewife?”
Donald Trump’s latest media kerfuffle with Fox News over its anchor Megyn Kelly is just the most visible conundrum he’s presented to America’s media.
