  During the 1980s, Black athletes and other athletes of color broadened the popularity and profitability of major-college televised sports by infusing games with a "Black style" of play. At a moment ripe for a revolution in men's college basketball and football, clashes between "good guy" white protagonists and bombastic "bad boy" Black antagonists attracted new fans and spectators. And no two teams in the 1980s welcomed the enemy's role more than Georgetown Hoya basketball and Miami Hurricane football. 
   
   
   
  Georgetown and Miami taunted opponents. Athletes of color at both schools made sports apparel fashionable for younger fans, particularly young African American men. The Hoyas and the 'Canes were a sensation because they made the bad-boy image look good. Popular culture took notice. 
   
   
   
  In the US, sports and race have always been tightly, if sometimes uncomfortably, entwined. Black athletes who dare to challenge the sporting status quo are often initially vilified but later accepted. The 1980s generation of barrier-busting college athletes took this process a step further.  Georgetown and Miami's aggressive style of play angered many fans and commentators. But in time their style was not only accepted but imitated by others, both Black and white. Love them or hate them, there was simply no way you could deny the Hoyas and the Hurricanes.

  The enigma’s origins can be traced back to a specific date or event, one that set into motion a series of actions and reactions that would change the course of history. The disappearance seemed to defy all logic, prompting countless theories, speculations, and investigations. What made it even more baffling was the lack of any solid leads or clear explanation. The initial shockwave reverberated through communities, then nations, and eventually captured the attention of the international media. While some were quick to dismiss it as a simple case of human error or an unfortunate accident, others, with a more skeptical mindset, began to delve into deeper, darker possibilities. 
  The world began to wonder: Was there something more to this disappearance than met the eye? Could it be that the vanishing was part of something far grander—an elaborate scheme, a well-organized plot, or a conspiracy of sorts? As the days stretched into weeks, weeks into months, and even years, the mystery seemed to grow deeper, defying all attempts at resolution. Various experts, investigators, and amateurs alike joined the search, each bringing their own theories, each finding new clues that led them down different paths. Yet, despite the global effort, the answers remained elusive.

  Deceptive Charisma - Using Charm...

  Charisma is one of the most powerful tools of influence. Throughout history, charismatic individuals have captivated audiences, inspired movements, and shaped the course of events. Whether in politics, business, entertainment, or everyday life, people with magnetic personalities often seem to have an almost hypnotic effect on others. But what exactly gives someone charisma, and why is it so effective? 
  At its core, charisma is a blend of confidence, charm, and emotional intelligence. It is not just about good looks or eloquent speech, though those can play a role. Instead, true charisma lies in the ability to make others feel special, understood, and valued. Charismatic individuals have an innate or developed talent for reading people and adjusting their approach accordingly. They know when to listen, when to speak, and how to convey messages in ways that resonate deeply with their audience. 
  The psychological impact of charisma is profound. People are naturally drawn to those who exude confidence and warmth. Studies in social psychology suggest that individuals with charismatic traits are often perceived as more competent, trustworthy, and even more likable, regardless of their actual abilities or intentions. This perception creates a halo effect, where one positive trait overshadows potential flaws or red flags.

  Lindley's groundbreaking book tells the true story of mis- and dis-information, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
  We’re living through the post-truth years, where it can feel almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in the information that we’re fed. But is it possible to escape the opinions created by false information and fake news, spread by our closest loved ones, friends, right up to world leaders? 
  Yes. There is hope. 
  The second edition of The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind – even in a post-truth world. We build up an essential toolkit to stop, step back from and sidestep misinformation and disinformation wherever our timelines take us. Through neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, we’ll take a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.
