The company is Marriott International and the accusers were hotel owners who had hired Marriott to manage their properties under the Marriott name. In recent weeks, Romney has come under fire for his role at Bain Capital. But his actions as an independent director at Marriott in the late 1990s and again just two years ago open another window on the candidate’s record in business and leadership qualities.]]> http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/romney-on-board/feed/ 0 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/sondheims-follies-elegantly-dramatizes-showgirls-bad-choices/ http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/sondheims-follies-elegantly-dramatizes-showgirls-bad-choices/#comments Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:13:28 +0000 Lucy Komisar http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/?p=7202 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/sondheims-follies-elegantly-dramatizes-showgirls-bad-choices/feed/ 0 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/may-allen-and-coen-depict-the-weird-funny-and-bizarre-of-families-in-relatively-speaking/ http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/may-allen-and-coen-depict-the-weird-funny-and-bizarre-of-families-in-relatively-speaking/#comments Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:29:15 +0000 Lucy Komisar http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/?p=7180 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2012/01/may-allen-and-coen-depict-the-weird-funny-and-bizarre-of-families-in-relatively-speaking/feed/ 0 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/blood-and-gifts-a-vivid-portrait-of-disastrous-u-s-policy-in-afghanistan-in-the-80s/ http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/blood-and-gifts-a-vivid-portrait-of-disastrous-u-s-policy-in-afghanistan-in-the-80s/#comments Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:11:00 +0000 Lucy Komisar http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/?p=7145 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/blood-and-gifts-a-vivid-portrait-of-disastrous-u-s-policy-in-afghanistan-in-the-80s/feed/ 0 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/anything-goes-with-a-spectacular-jazzy-sutton-foster-is-the-top/ http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/anything-goes-with-a-spectacular-jazzy-sutton-foster-is-the-top/#comments Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:51:47 +0000 Lucy Komisar http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/?p=7121 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/anything-goes-with-a-spectacular-jazzy-sutton-foster-is-the-top/feed/ 0 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/private-lives-is-cowards-clever-sexy-charming-take-on-the-impossibility-of-love/ http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/private-lives-is-cowards-clever-sexy-charming-take-on-the-impossibility-of-love/#comments Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:29:38 +0000 Lucy Komisar http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/?p=7107 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/private-lives-is-cowards-clever-sexy-charming-take-on-the-impossibility-of-love/feed/ 0 http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/how-the-food-industry-eats-your-kids-lunch-4/ http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/how-the-food-industry-eats-your-kids-lunch-4/#comments Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:23:41 +0000 Lucy Komisar http://thekomisarscoop.com/?p=7079 The New York Times, Dec 3, 2011 - An increasingly cozy alliance between companies that manufacture processed foods and companies that serve the meals is making students — a captive market — fat and sick while pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. At a time of fiscal austerity, these companies are seducing school administrators with promises to cut costs through privatization. Parents who want healthier meals, meanwhile, are outgunned. Each day, 32 million children in the United States get lunch at schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program, which uses agricultural surplus to feed children. About 21 million of these students eat free or reduced-price meals, a number that has surged since the recession. The program, which also provides breakfast, costs $13.3 billion a year.]]> http://www.thekomisarscoop.com/2011/12/how-the-food-industry-eats-your-kids-lunch-4/feed/ 3
