…“Entrepreneurs believe in the inherent volatility of the world,” he said. LSA freshman Jillian Gordner commented that the business lens was an interesting way to examine Gladwell’s work, and she found his approach to entrepreneurship unique. “I haven’t heard him speak much in an entrepreneurship context,” she said.” It was a cool way to use entrepreneur a lot of different ways, and I think what he has to say is...…

…Wolverines fueled by youth movement After losing top goal scorers from 2015, ‘M’ enjoying early- season success By ORION SANG Daily Sports Writer At first glance, the 10th-ranked team in the nation beating the first-ranked team doesn’t seem like much of an upset.

A shooter opened fire and killed more than 80 people while driving his van into a crowd. The victims — who were watching the Bastille Day fireworks — were cele- brating the anniversary of ...…

…I was told to take off my Star of David before traveling to Spain. Not because Spain is unsafe, necessarily, but because you just don’t know. It was a small detail on my extensive “To Do” list and the impact didn’t really hit me until I landed in Madrid, went to feel the points of the star for comfort and found it missing. I’m not deeply religious. I’m more Jew*ish*, if you get what I’m saying. I don’t attend temple regularly and I’...…
…I drink black coffee and therefore, I am a badass. It suggests that I have places to go, people to see and don’t have the time to fuss around with milk. It gives off the (vital) impression that I have my shit together. My equilibrium is set at a healthy level of caffein- ation at which I can then proceed to be a functional member of society. Which I am. In my defense, I grew up next door to a coffee shop. Philz, a chain that sprou...…
