Cosby’s legacy reveals generational divide
Terry Tang Associated Press Published 5:22 PM EDT Sep 23, 2018 Keon McGuire has no real attachment to Bill Cosby or his landmark show. As a black man, he’s aware of the sitcom’s place in pop culture, but he was barely in elementary school when “The Cosby Show” went off the air. Years later, he mostly tuned Cosby out after a widely panned speech to the NAACP in 2004, when the star ranted about black mothers, clothing choices and language. “That for me was kind of an emotional — I won’t say reckoning — but it made me reposition how I felt about Bill Cosby as this figure within the larger representation of black leadership,” said McGuire, a 32-year-old education professor at Arizona State University. McGuire’s mindset reflects a broader generational divide over Cosby, who is scheduled to be sentenced Monday in a Philadelphia courtroom for drugging and molesting a woman. The sentence – anything from probation to 30 … [Read more...] about Cosby’s legacy reveals generational divide

11 essential shopping spots in Berlin
1. Kurfürstendamm Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church surrounded by shops. Photo: DPA Oxford Street meets the Champs Élysées in this huge shopping district in the west of Berlin. Kurfürstendamm is often referred to as 'Ku'damm' by those in the know, or those who don't want to waste time pronouncing its full name. It is the largest retail district in Berlin with around 200,000 square metres of shops and restaurants, making it arguably the most famous shopping street in the city. The street begins at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (next to the Zoologische Garten) and stretches 3.5 kilometres southwest to the Halensee lake. Kurfürstendamm is fairly upmarket with a number of flagship stores for international designer labels. During the Cold War it served as a kind of show window for the capitalist west as one of the leading commercial avenues in west Berlin. FOR MEMBERS: I arrived in Berlin expecting a giddy adventure. Instead I got depression … [Read more...] about 11 essential shopping spots in Berlin
Visiting The Hague in 24 Hours: A complete Guide
As a political science major at University, a trip to The Hague has been on my to-go list for quite some time. Yet standing there in the centre of it all, it was still surreal to me to be standing where the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court reside. I had just one night in The Hague for my book signing tour in the Netherlands, so I was determined to hit the ground running and see as much as I could within 24 hours. So with that, here’s what to see and do in The Hague in 24 hours! Introducing The Hague I told many Dutchies I encountered of my plans to visit The Hague but every single one of them looked at me in confusion. “Den Haag” is how to say it in Dutch, so I would suggest you use this term as it warranted a much better reaction! Although not the capital of The Netherlands (a title that belongs to Amsterdam), The Hague is indeed the seat of Dutch parliament and as previously mentioned, the judicial capital of … [Read more...] about Visiting The Hague in 24 Hours: A complete Guide
