The Atlantic As part of The Atlantic’s “Selling the Seventies” series, my colleague Lenika Cruz recently explored the moment in the early 1970s when major companies began marketing directly to African Americans.

  • Denver Broncos playoff scenarios: Where things stand with one week to go
    Denver Post, Sunday - 12/29/2024 - 07:16 PM

    The Denver Broncos have twice had an opportunity to end their eight-year playoff drought. And twice they’ve come away losers. Now, with just one week left in the regular season, they will get one more shot to punch their ticket to the postseason with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town.
