To call it a hit is a massive understatement: Gray’s book has sold 15 million copies worldwide, and was even adapted into a Broadway show (starring Gray) in the late 1990s. |

| Work You don’t have an airport, commissioner, it belongs to us all  As for “my airport,” Miami last year made a towering mistake handing “my theater,” the Tower Theater, which had been a famed art cinema well run by Miami Dade College, to Commissioner Joe Carollo to run independently.

| Work Forced shifts of home insurance providers can be costly  “Number two,” he said, “it takes about $200 million to build a building of 15 stories and they ended up insuring them for $30 million to $50 million. So now, the insurance companies are saying no, we’re not going to do this anymore. So now, just by increasing the value from $40 million to $100 million, you’re adding a massive cost to the unit owners and your deductibles are higher, so your out-of-pocket expenses are higher.” |
| Work As financial services grow, job applicants can’t meet demand  Job candidates are also looking for specific factors, said Ms. Gonzalez.

| Work As big banks swallow smaller ones, choices dwindle  “Larger banks have higher lending limits than smaller community banks, and they’re generally more interested in making larger loans,” Mr. Brown said. “Costs are better, they spread the costs over the cost of making the loans.

| Work Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering Aaron Rodgers or Jesse Ventura for a 2024 running mate  Rodgers, the longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback who now plays for the New York Jets, shares Kennedy’s distrust of vaccine mandates and, like Kennedy, is a fixture on anti-establishment podcasts.
