100% agree with you, Al. When I went from crime reporting to business reporting, I thought (and my cop friends thought) I was going to be covering business/financial "white-collar" crime in a pinstripped suit. You may recall, they used to refer to hyping (especially local) businesses and business people as 'boosterism.' And that's what the advertisers/newspapers wanted in terms of 'business coverage.' It carried over into Crane's, and Forbes, and Inc., etc. All designed to promote the philosophy that 'the Business of America is Business.' It was especially prevelant in Texas in the 1980s, at the height of the Savings & Loan and Banking crisis.

Hey, Al...who says women don't get a fair shake in the business world???? Seems to me they've done exceedingly well here!!!
The world would be a better place if women ran it … just not these women.
