It was the 1960s - a time of economic boom and social strife. Young women poured into the workplace, but the “Help Wanted” ads were segregated by gender and the “Mad Men” office culture was rife with sexual stereotyping and discrimination. Lynn Povich was one of the lucky ones, landing a job at Newsweek, renowned for its cutting-edge coverage of civil rights and the “Swinging Sixties.” Nora Ephron, Jane Bryant Quinn, Ellen Goodman, and Susan Brownmiller all started there as well. It was a top-notch job - for a girl - at an exciting place. But it was a dead end.

Unfortunately, for citizens in the United States and throughout the world, distinguishing between fact and fiction - always a formidable challenge - is now more difficult than ever, as a constant stream of questionable information pours into media outlets. Lewis argues forcefully that while data points and factoids abound, it is much harder to get to the whole truth of complex issues in time for that truth to guide citizens, voters, and decision makers.

Gynecomastia can lead to more than just a feminized appearance to the chest. It can also lead a man to feel depression and a sense that he is less of a man than his peers because of his appearance. Gynecomastia or man boobs results from a number of conditions, all of which can cause a man to feel that he is less masculine than the men around him. Although gynecomastia is often reversible, many men resort to surgical procedures to resolve their gynecomastia, including men who develop gynecomastia as a result of anabolic steroid use.

Whatever happened to journalism? When did American news media go from the respected, trusted purveyor of truth to anything but? How did we go from the “Glory Days of Television News” to today’s growing distrust and derision of “the media?” Is the Internet our only journalistic hope?

This claimed that species change in small ways, gradually, over long periods of time; the individuals who happen to be best suited to their environment survive.
