Have I Got a Story for You!

September 23, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

The 1982 hit, “I Melt With You,” by Modern English was the kind of fractured love song that appealed to twenty-somethings finding their way in a new millennium. Growing up during the Cold War, having experienced the tumultuous 70s, and bearing the many sorrows of the Vietnam era produced a … [Read more...] about Have I Got a Story for You!

Barcelona’s Crisis Observed

August 23, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

The waiting room at the police station on Nou de la Rambla in Barcelona is full on the day a visiting reporter makes an unwanted detour to help a friend.

I Have No Clue What I’m Talking About, But Neither Do You

August 10, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

Pre-digested opinions about political matters appear to be the norm, and the persistence of mistaken perceptions (the belief that something is true though all evidence points to the contrary) afflicts many more people than just the late-night hangers-on at Flag Brew.

Pearls Before Guys

July 19, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

But I’m always left wondering if their success might be more a matter of luck than the sure-fire strategies they wave about with so much bravado – starting with the fact that most of them are men. Face it, … [Read more...] about Pearls Before Guys

Young Russian Entrepreneurs Choose an Ideal Path

July 17, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

Ready, Aim, Reverse

June 30, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

Other times, words seem so stuck to one context that it’s hard to think of them differently. We understand “rational” and “efficient” in limited ways … [Read more...] about Ready, Aim, Reverse

Is There an App for Getting My Life Back?

May 21, 2012 By Constance DeVereaux Leave a Comment

A recent article in The Atlantic states that nearly half of Facebook users aged 18-34 check their Facebook just minutes after waking up; 28 percent even before getting out of bed.
