John Farr: Where Is Lee Marvin When We Really Need Him?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com

Lee Marvin, tough character actor turned unlikely (and equally tough) movie star, would have turned eighty-six a couple of weeks back, but of course that event will go largely unnoticed.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com

As an active board member of the American Association of Advertising Agencies, I always look forward to attending the annual conference. There are few non-client gatherings I make it a habit to attend annually and the fact that Huffington Post is graciously providing this very forum speaks volumes to the influence our industry has.

So it seemed appropriate that his son, one of Canada's great musical artists, performed Sunday night for the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. After all, one of Neil Young's great works was After the Gold Rush.

Janet Tavakoli: Washington Abandons Greece: Beware of Geeks Bearing Grifts

http://www.huffingtonpost.com

The European Union (EU) is shocked -- shocked I tell you! -- that Greece used financial engineering to qualify for admission.
