Don’t be shocked if we enter a recession

4 weeks ago | dailytrojan.com | Janette Fu |Dor Peretz

The United States hits the ball to China: 104% tariffs. China hits back: 125% tariffs. The U.S. retaliates: 145% tariffs. The trade war has felt like a game of ping pong the past few days. “Liberation Day” meant imposing tariffs on 90 nations. Because of that, experts are predicting that a recession will occur. Stock values are volatile. Consumer sentiment is plunging, even lower than what was seen during the Great Recession.

The screenplay is based on Pileggi’s book, “Wiseguy,” which follows the true story of Henry Hill, a mobster-turned-federal-informant.
Another cavewoman vindicated

Rory McIlroy finally pulled it off. In unfamiliar fashion, Wee-Mac’s major pain train rumbled through the Augusta National Golf Club and ground to a halt Sunday — he disembarked, suited in Masters green. McIlroy’s Masters championship makes him the sixth man with a career Grand Slam and the first since Tiger Woods in 2000. But it took an apocalyptic series of major meltdowns for McIlroy to don that elusive Pantone 342. By age 25, he’d already won four majors.

4 weeks ago | dailytrojan.com | Christina Chkarboul

Receiving a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities was a monumental, career-altering opportunity for Ginger Nolan, an assistant professor of architecture. A $45,000 NEH grant gave Nolan the funding she needed to take time off from teaching and devote herself entirely to researching and writing a book for a year — something tenure-track faculty at the School of Architecture aren’t typically able to do, she said.

Wayne Brady, a singer, actor and longtime improv comic — as well as an adjunct lecturer at the School of Dramatic Arts — has been on television making people laugh for over 35 years. When asked by three Daily Trojan reporters to tell his favorite joke, he mustered the following. “Oh, wait, wait, wait. Then, then the guy, he said, he said, ‘Your mama!’” Brady said. Everyone laughs. It’s something that everyone can understand regardless of language.
