Faceless dolls

Yesterday, we toured an Amish farm outside Berlin, Ohio. A 16-year-old in an ankle-length dress showed us the schoolhouse. It was the sort of place Abe Lincoln might have studied in. "We appreciate a…

One foot higher

There's a scene in Nike founder Phil Knight's memoir, Shoe Dog, that I can't get out of my head. It's 1980, and Nike's just went public. Knight's steaming away in a Japanese hot spring with Masaru Ha…
