History Lessons For Trump: When America Feared German Immigrants

worldcrunch.com — Donald Trump's ancestors left Germany for the U.S. with dreams of a better life. They faced longstanding fears about the "Germanization" of America. BERLIN - By now, it has become general knowledge that Donald Trump is the product of serious Palatine-German immigrant ambitions. Camera teams from as far away as Tokyo and New York have traveled to Kallstadt, situated along the German Wine Route, to discover Granpma and Grandpa Trump's hometown. There isn't much to see, with just a boring house (only the outside of which can be filmed) and a few distant relatives of the man with the yellow hair (who make themselves scarce when spotted by the press.)

Verizon Is Seeing a Big Dip in New Customers Due to Strike

Verizon Is Seeing a Big Dip in New Customers Due to Strike

Fortune — The massive walk out of telephone, cable TV, and broadband Internet service installers at Verizon Communications has led to a significant decline in new customers this quarter, the company said on Thursday. Installations and new orders of FiOS service have "significantly dropped" CFO Fran Shammo said speaking at the MoffettNathanson investor conference in New York. As a result, Verizon might see a net loss of cable TV or broadband customers in the quarter after showing net gains in both businesses a year ago, Shammo said. About 40,000 employees who work from Massachusetts to Virginia installing and servicing traditional telephone and the newer FiOS offerings went on strike April 13.

A disturbing trend of anti-Semitism at CUNY

A disturbing trend of anti-Semitism at CUNY

qchron.com — As a graduate of Queens College, I am an heir to a proud tradition. Since 1847, the City University of New York has enabled thousands of students from low-income and middle-class families the opportunity to obtain a quality higher education that was not available anywhere else. For struggling Jewish immigrants who came to New York to escape from pogroms and the Holocaust, CUNY was their ladder to success. It was CUNY that opened the doors of opportunity for people like Dr. Jonas Salk, the man who discovered the polio vaccine, Ed Koch, one of New York City's greatest mayors, and such pop culture stars as Paul Simon and Jerry Seinfeld.That made it all the more disturbing to read newspaper accounts of several incidents on various CUNY campuses.

WGN-TV (Chicago, IL) — One of the world's most famous photography stores is facing accusations that it discriminated against women and minorities and relegated Hispanic warehouse workers to separate restrooms. A lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor last week alleges that B&H Foto & Electronics Corp "systematically discriminated against Hispanic employees and female, black and Asian job seekers at its Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse." The store, which takes up an entire block in New York and has been a Mecca for AV enthusiasts for decades, said accusations in the lawsuit are "far from factual" and slammed what it called "scurrilous narratives."
