I think The Social Network is one of the best movies of this century and also, because people don’t get that movies about real people still embellish for dramatic effect, largely responsible for the idea that Zuck is an abrasive genius rather than a black hole of principles

Great piece from Bob Kuttner. The American Medical Association has *copyrights* on the diagnostic codes doctors and hospitals use to designate patient ailments and receive reimbursement. The AMA makes $300 million a year off this. WTF? prospect.org/health/2025-...

I know Hawks already did "His Girl Friday," but I submit there's a decent little movie about the founding of WMAQ radio in Chicago
Text from a Wikipedia entry (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSCR) on the history of WMAQ radio in Chicago.

It says, 

Just weeks before its inaugural broadcast Walter A. Strong, then business manager of the Daily News, realized the station would need a manager. Strong knew a young woman with some ad agency experience named Judith C. Waller. He called her and said, "I've just bought a radio station; come down and run it." Waller protested that she did not know anything about running a station. Strong replied "neither do I, but come down and we'll find out".

Tough neighbourhood
A commercial passenger plane - think it's an Airbus - sits on the tarmac outside an airport building. It has no engines or landing gear, and is being kept off the ground by several large yellow jacks.

This new plane crashed at Bilbao airport in 2001 (no serious injuries) and hung about on the tarmac for months before the airline decided to scrap it.
