The consistence theme has been a powerful, sometimes publicly beloved, person taking advantage of a woman/man with much less power. And it's almost always a person they know.

New York Times WELLINGTON, New Zealand — The ripples from the firing of Matt Lauer as the co-host of the “Today” morning news show have hit the world of New Zealand property, where officials are already scrutinizing the role of foreign buyers in an increasingly expensive market. A New Zealand government agency said on Thursday that it was in discussions with Mr. Lauer’s representative over his purchase of a 16,000-acre farm there. Foreigners must pass a good-character test to be allowed to buy New Zealand land, and while Mr. Lauer’s purchase was approved earlier this year, the country’s Overseas Investment Office is revisiting his case in light of his firing. Officials from that agency “are seeking further information,” said Lisa Barrett, a spokeswoman for the agency. The agency can require buyers to dispose of the property if it believes the rules have been violated. NBC on Wednesday said it fired Mr. Lauer from “Today” following an allegation of sexual harassment, making him the latest major media figure to fall from grace amid a broad examination in the United States of inappropriate sexual behavior in the worlds of media and entertainment. Mr. Lauer, a well-known face on morning television in the United States, had been a co-host at “Today” for two decades. Comment: Lauer might consider selling the New Zealand property, which is likely on the southern island somewhat near Christchurch. Perhaps it was part of his "escape" plan.

Joe Scarborough has good reasons to be angry at Trump. But, he did give Trump too much free air time early on.

I read about Williams again just now from a new perspective. That is, a good friend's experience embedded with the pro-Ukraine militia. I read every one of his articles over a period of three years. If a 26-year old freelance journalist could pay so much attention to details when I occasionally had difficult questions, why couldn't Brian Williams. Mr. Williams had to know at some level that his stories were not completely correct.

I was visiting the campus of the University of California at Berkeley for the first time the day after Judy Garland died in 1969, so that comments about Princess Leia was very funny for me. I remember reading Garland's obit in the campus lounge. That was a Monday, Stonewall happened the following Saturday.
