One morning in November 2011, two men walked into a bank in the
eastern German city of Eisenach, pistol-whipped the bank teller, and
stole around $99,000. After local police traced the men to a camper
van on the side of a nearby road, gunshots rang out, and the vehicle
went up in flames. Police officers found two men dead inside; one had
shot the other and then turned the gun on himself. Later that day,
after hearing what had happened in Eisenach, a woman about 100 miles
away poured gasoline around her apartment and set it on fire before
fleeing the scene.

Delayed and ineffective commercial integration can turn a good deal
into a loser, because sales growth ultimately determines whether a
merger achieves its value-creation goals. To create value, mergers
need top-line gains: More sales to more customers, expansion into new
territories or market adjacencies, new products and services to sell
to existing customers. But compared to other areas of post-merger
activity, the commercial engine starts late, operates uncertainly, and
often runs out of gas before reaching its goals. With M&A activity
picking up and high interest rates making delay costlier, it’s more
important than ever that private equity and corporate acquirers leave
the deal table with underwriteable, ready-to-go plans to make deals
pay off through growth — and carry those plans out quickly.

Back in 2017, Kelly Conaboy had it out for the neck pillow: “This
half-ovate, toilet-seat cover-esque object reigns as King of Travel
Accessories, while failing miserably at its intended sole use,” she
wrote. One of the many compelling arguments in her essay is that the
neck pillow resembles “the first-ever stone pillow used by
Mesopotamians in 7,000 BC”; “Seems like we should not still be
using a pillow that looks like the first-ever stone pillow used by
Mesopotamians in 7,000 BC, but that’s just my opinion,” Conaboy
writes.Even if your thoughts on travel neck pillows aren’t as strong
as Conaboy’s, you may relate to the experience of shelling out for
one travel convenience or another, hoping it will make your time in
the sky a little bit easier. (I don’t have a neck pillow or a sleep
mask myself, but I do meticulously prepare my in-flight Spotify
playlists—a different type of sleep aid.) The truth is that flying
is weird and uncomfortable, no matter what you bring aboard. Perhaps
all that’s left is to give in.

A Father's Day Reflection on Leadership

Discovering that the person you married makes a wonderful partner and
embodies exemplary fatherhood brings unparalleled joy. While my father
undoubtedly influenced me, it's through observing my husband's role as
a devoted father and accomplished physician that I've come to
appreciate the profound connection between fatherhood and
leadership.With Father's Day approaching, I offer an argument
advocating for emulating the practices of model parents. Effective
leadership extends beyond commonly cited traits such as vision and
strategic acumen. It encompasses behaviors typically associated
with positive fatherhood as well. Here are six practices to consider
as you embark on or continue your leadership journey, inspired by the
lessons learned from my husband and the virtuoso leaders I've had the
privilege to work with.

Running a small business involves less complexity in terms of
resources, personnel, communication, systems, among others, than
running a large one. Still, for any size company, growth can be a
challenge. Companies that are not growing are at risk of
jeopardizing their permanence or position in the market. Just as
people do, companies also go through different stages in their
lifespan that require a different approach, communication,
leadership, priorities, barriers, and decisions. There are
entrepreneurs who are not aware of this, so when their company begins
to demand or require new systems to support growth, leaders may lead
it down the wrong paths that can stagnate or make it disappear.

As investigators continue to gain insight into the early days of
Covid-19, the origins of the pandemic may be still up for debate. In
addition, congressional investigations into the National Institutes of
Health have revealed that scientists have conducted, or have been
granted approval to conduct, dangerous experiments with little
oversight. And in some instances, they have been intentionally
deceptive about research being conducted with taxpayer dollars. NIH
officials have consistently resisted transparency at every stage of
various congressional inquiries.While most NIH researchers and
employees are hardworking people devoted to scientific and medical
advancements, this agency’s involvement with the now-debarred
EcoHealth Alliance and subsequent cover-up have broken the public’s
trust in the agency. It’s time to mend those wounds and rebuild the
American people’s trust in the NIH.

One spring day in 1992, Eric Nies, a twenty-year-old model from New
Jersey, walked into a swanky SoHo loft that he shared with six other
young people. In the kitchen, he found two of his housemates, Heather
B. Gardner and Julie Oliver, flipping through a coffee-table book of
nude photographs and giggling. "Did you leave this out for us?" Julie
asked him, teasingly. She held up the book to display one of the
images: a full-frontal shot of Eric, in black-and-white, as he took a
cautious step through a deep, mysterious-looking forest, like some
hunky innocent exploring Eden.One floor downstairs, in the control
room for the first season of MTV's "The Real World," the show's
co-creators, Jon Murray and Mary-Ellis Bunim, gazed at a bank of
live-feed monitors in excitement. They had planted the bookâthe
fashion photographer Bruce Weber's collection "Bear Pond," which had
been Eric's big break as a modelâinside the loft, hoping that the
racy image would provoke a reaction from the housemates. Bunim, an
experienced soap-opera producer, had a playful nickname for these
kinds of interventions; she called the method "throwing pebbles in the
pond." Now the gamble looked like it was about to pay off, triggering
a flirtation or, possibly, a fight. Either outcome was fine with them.

Each morning, Google Alerts arrive in my inbox detailing the
adventures of a fictional character bearing my name. Last month she
starred in an article about “A Global Censorship Prison Built by the
Women of the CIA.” In a Substack article headlined “Media Ruled by
Robust PsyOp Alliance,” later posted on Infowars, an anti-vaccine
propagandist implicated my alter ego in a plot to bring about a “One
World Government.” A blog post titled “When Military Rule
Supplants Democracy” quoted commentators who lumped her in with the
“color revolution blob”—a reference to popular revolts against
Russian-backed governments—and the perpetrators of “dirty
tricks” overseas. You get the idea. Somewhat flatteringly, the
commentators who make up these stories portray me as highly competent;
one post on X credited the imaginary me with “brainwashing all of
the local elections officials” to facilitate the theft of the 2020
election from Donald Trump.The plotlines in this cinematic universe go
back to the so-called Twitter Files—internal documents released to a
group of writers after Elon Musk bought the social-media platform.
Some of those writers have posited the existence of a staggering
“Censorship Industrial Complex,” of which I am supposedly a
leader. In written testimony for a March 2023 hearing of
Representative Jim Jordan’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization
of the Federal Government, the Substack writer Michael Shellenberger
claimed that my cohorts and I “censored 22 million tweets” during
the 2020 election. It also insinuated that I have CIA ties that I’ve
kept “hidden from public view.” The crank theory that I am some
kind of secret agent caught on. X users with follower counts in the
tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands started referring to
me as “CIA Renee.” The mere mention of the character’s name—as
with Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Lex Luthor in the DC
Extended Universe—became enough to establish villainy.

Nearly nine in 10 Americans strongly believe in the overall value of
childhood vaccines. Reflecting the value communities place on them,
every state and the District of Columbia require children to get
vaccinated against certain diseases before they start school,
including measles, mumps, polio, tetanus, whooping cough, and
chickenpox.Troubling stories about outbreaks of previously eradicated
diseases like measles notwithstanding, most schools are free of
vaccine-preventable diseases. This is precisely because vaccination
requirements ensure that virtually every child’s immune system has
been prepared to recognize and resist these diseases.

Last week marked the conclusion of another successful Mental Health
Awareness Month. It was enlightening to witness all of the healthy
dialogue put out into the digital public sphere, ranging from
targeted social media campaigns and accessible resource hubs to
contributed columns offering words of encouragement, like this piece
I'm currently writing. The past month exemplified how far our
society has come toward making mental health advocacy less taboo. It
wasn't always this way, especially when I first entered the business
world in the 1990s. We've made a lot of progress over the years.
However, it's still important to keep the conversation going beyond
the month of May--particularly for women navigating the uphill
battles and balancing acts associated with corporate
enterprise environments.

India Steps Back From the Brink

Worse for Modi, he suffered a double personal blow in the elections.
His party lost a majority of seats in Uttar Pradesh, India’s largest
state, once considered an impregnable fortress for his brand of Hindu
nationalism and identity politics. It was only this January that Modi
consecrated a temple in the state to the Hindu deity Ram, in a
ceremony that both represented the fulfilment of decades of Hindu
nationalist agitation and conjured a euphoric triumph for the prime
minister. And for the first time, the party also did not do well in
constituencies where Modi spent time campaigning. Voters seemed to be
turned off by what was one of the most vicious and vitriolic BJP
campaigns of recent years, replete with explicit hate speech directed
at India’s minority Muslim community.

But can his alliance partners trust him? Even if his personality does
not prove an obstacle, the suspicions of his allies might. There are
at least two potential stumbling blocks here. The first is that as the
BJP consolidates its power, it typically gains an advantage over its
alliance partners, by hook or by crook. Alliances allow the BJP to
broaden its appeal and acceptability in the states home to its allies;
eventually the party begins to make inroads into the base of those
alliance partners. In this way, the BJP has in the past used its power
to break up smaller parties, attracting legislators through the allure
of its power and integrating them within the BJP. Neither of Modi’s
principal allies, N. Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of the Telugu Desam
Party, or Nitish Kumar, the head of the Janata Dal (United), will be
unaware of these dangers. If they let the BJP get too successful, they
put their own growth at risk.

Equipping a wristwatch with a button to make its display light up can
hardly be described as groundbreaking nowadays. Early digital watches
were doing that in the 1970s, while rudimentary light-on-demand dials,
such as Timexâ™s celebrated Indiglo system, have been
commonplace since the 1990s (and Apple, arguably, has reduced the
concept simply to a button-free flick of the wrist).So would you pay
$96,300 (ã92,400) for a hulking luxury dive watch that pulled a
similar trick?

'Bridgerton' Faces the Limits of Romantic Fantasy

The resident bully of Bridgerton, Cressida Cowper, has
changedâreally. After several humbling seasons on the marriage
market, the character played by Jessica Madsen has stopped trying to
insult-sling her way to the top of the eligible-bachelorette pile.
Instead, in the show's third season, she makes a bold claim that could
cast her out of Regency London's high society altogether. "You would
like to know who Lady Whistledown is? You shall know," she announces
before a room of guests at a party. "I am she."This declaration is, of
course, a lie. Lady Whistledown, the pseudonymous author of the
popular gossip pages that enthrall the ton and serve as the show's
framing device, is really the pen name of Penelope Featherington
(played by Nicola Coughlan), another young woman who'd long been
overlooked by potential suitors. Yet Cressida appears giddy with
excitement at her deception. She's found a way to become too
scandalous to be marriage material, freeing herself from her betrothal
to a man more than thrice her age, a match that her parents made for
her. Calling herself Lady Whistledown could also allow her to cash in
on a reward that Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) has promised to
whoever can unmask the writer. It's a selfish schemeâand a genuinely
surprising twist for the series. Cressida's statement has nothing to
do with romance, sex, or the Bridgerton family.

There is no feeling or metaphysical concept that Pixar Animation
Studios can't turn into some sort of blob. This was my complaint with
the studio's previous effort, 2023's Elemental, which conjured a city
populated by talking gobs of fire and water who clumsily embodied
broader metaphorical topics. The first Inside Out, released nearly a
decade ago, was the peak of Pixar's blob cinemaâa children's drama
about brightly colored beings representing human emotions such as joy
and sadness, warring with one another as a representation of an
11-year-old's evolving inner life. The systematization of something so
multifaceted felt a little glib, but Pixar knows how to entertain, and
so Inside Out pushed my buttons with practiced ease.Inside Out 2 is,
similarly, quite entertaining. Still, there were more than a few
moments when I bristled at Pixar's willingness to boil the headiest
emotional concepts into the kind of bland CGI goop one might encounter
during an Apple keynote. Joy being a chipper, canary-yellow lady,
sure; Anger being a grumpy red stump with flames for hair, fine. But
have you ever wondered what someone's "sense of self" might look like?
Inside Out 2 has the answer: a bunch of glowing strings tied into a
tree-shaped bow. Every time staggeringly vague matters of the mind
were reduced to screenwriting MacGuffins, some insidious blob in my
own mindâcall that emotion "David's nonsense detector"âhad me
wondering what Jung might make of all this.

what actually is RCS? And why does supporting it matter?The short
version: It's an upgrade on the standard SMS/MMS texting standards
that smartphones have been using from the start. It brings better
support for all the cool features we're used to in our messaging apps,
like read receipts and images, and it adds some extra security layers
too.

The spike in bond yields since the Federal Reserve began aggressively
raising rates in 2022 have boosted interest costs. Even Treasury
Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged in May that the outlook for
higher rates over the long term will make it harder to keep deficits
and debt expenses under control.“Given the political will, we could
resolve debt concerns quite easily,” he wrote a New York
Times op-ed. “To the extent that debt is a problem, that’s a
reflection of political dysfunction, mainly the radicalization of the
G.O.P. That radicalization deeply worries me for several reasons,
starting with the fate of democracy, and federal debt is nowhere near
the top of the list.”

The game presents a social problem: How does one find comity among a
group of jostling strangers?The only immovable object on my weekly
calendar is a Sunday-night basketball game. We play in a rented gym in
Washington, D.C., usually at a high school, because we're all
conserving cartilage and the local middle schools don't place much
cushioning underneath the hardwood. The game has been running for more
than 20 years, but it wasn't always on Sunday nights, and none of the
original players is still around. When people get hurt or move away,
they're replaced like planks on the Ship of Theseus. The continuity of
the game is the important thing. It has to stay in motion, but not
because anyone is trying to get somewhere. None of our regulars
retains any ambition of climbing up to some higher echelon of
organized basketball, at least I hope not. That's part of the game's
magic. The enlivening competitive energies that it summons have no
