The Sum: The Word of the Week Is Heat

    QUOTE OF THE WEEK
    “This is really a unicorn — a unicorn in sets of pumps. Even though women make up 47 percent of the U.S. workforce and control nearly 75 percent of household spending, they account for just 20 percent of all S&P 500 directors. Which is a pretty shocking disparity.”
    -- Tina Brown, author, journalist, talk show host
