Prior to the 1929 stock market crash, a race was on to build the tallest building in the world in New York City.Ā
Of all the proposed buildings, one pushed through the depression and took the title of the tallest building in the world and held on to it for forty years.Ā
Even though it has since been surpassed in height, it still remains the iconic building of the New York skyline.Ā

This striking contribution to Black literary studies examines the practices of Black writers in the mid-twentieth century to revise our understanding of the institutionalization of literary studies in America.Ā
InĀ ļ»æOutside Literary Studies: Black Criticism and the UniversityĀ (U Chicago Press, 2022),Ā Andy Hines uncovers a vibrant history of interpretive resistance to university-based New Criticism by Black writers of the American left. These include well-known figures such as Langston Hughes and Lorraine Hansberry as well as still underappreciated writers like Melvin B. Tolson and Doxey Wilkerson. In their critical practice, these and other Black writers levied their critique from āoutsideā venues: behind the closed doors of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in the classroom at a communist labor school under FBI surveillance, and in a host of journals. From these vantages, Black writers not only called out the racist assumptions of the New Criticism, but also defined Black literary and interpretive practices to support communist and other radical world-making efforts in the mid-twentieth century. Hinesās book thus offers a number of urgent contributions to literary studies: it spotlights a canon of Black literary texts that belong to an important era of anti-racist struggle, and it fills in the pre-history of the rise of Black studies and of ongoing Black dissent against the neoliberal university.

As the man responsible for manufacturing and distributing the COVID-19 vaccine in less than a year, US Army four-star General Gustave Perna has a thing or two to say about today’s supply chain issues. He says product shortages, from vaccines to baby formula, are preventable if you center mission over profit and run hypotheticals that prepare your team for worst case scenarios. Andy relives Operation Warp Speed with the general as they discuss what we can learn from it.

What to know about bipartisan gun reform that has a chance of passing Congress.
Also, the capital of Ukraine is dealing with the first major strikes in weeks.
Plus, where you're most likely to see the types of crypto scams that have cost Americans more than $1 billion last year, what new devices and upgrades Apple is expected to announce, and will 'Top Gun: Maverick' do as well for the military as it has for the box office?
There were at least five mass shootings this weekend in a matter of 27 hours, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This slate of recent mass shootings, which include Buffalo and Uvalde, has compelled Congressional lawmakers to try to take action on gun control. A group of bipartisan senators may present a package on gun restrictions as early as this week.
For parents who lost children in the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, there are few legal avenues for them to pursue accountability or ensure that a tragedy like this doesnāt happen again. However, some may try a strategy used by the Sandy Hook victimsā families ā going after the gun manufacturers in court.
And in headlines: a Catholic church in Nigeria was attacked, a series of Russian airstrikes hit Kyiv, and there's a staffing shortage of lifeguards in the U.S.
Are your financial investments being weaponized to undermine your political beliefs?
Investment firms, banks, and many other companies have embraced environmental, social, and governance, also known as ESGāa politicized rating system that advances the left's agenda.
In Utah, Treasurer Marlo Oaks is fighting S&P Global Ratings, which adopted ESG to make decisions about the credit ratings of state and local governments. He's also warning Americans that it'll soon affect them as wellāif it hasn't already.
"Most Americans don't want to be exposed to politics in the workplace and in our choices as consumers, but that's where we're going," Oaks tells The Daily Signal. "They're using our money against us, to drive a political agenda that most of us don't want."

The Sixth Amendment is supposed to guarantee the right to a fair trialāincluding a lawyer, even if the defendant canāt afford one. But Indigent Defense is woefully underfunded and, sometimes, State-appointed lawyers are nowhere near as competent as Federal attorneys. A new Supreme Court ruling makes it more difficult to use exonerating evidence discovered on a federal level to prove innocence, even if state counsel didnāt look for it.
Guest: Leah Litman, law professor at University of Michigan, specializing in constitutional law and federal courts, and co-host of the podcast Strict Scrutiny
