Ebola, new Fidelity CEO: Second look

Responsibility for risk

A recent letter to the editor on the Ebola virus stated, "We don't need the death, grief and expense of inviting the problem here," especially when someone travels at his or her own risk ("Ebola fears prompt calls to ban West Africa flights: Your Say").

That should also apply to reporters and Americans who travel to dangerous areas when they fully know and realize the risk. The barbaric beheadings by the Islamic State are tragic for the families, but those events have created much of the call for getting our nation into another Mideast mess. We have plenty of problems in out own nation, if reporters or human rights workers wish to address them.

Biased treatment

The lead article in the Money section on Tuesday notes "Abby takes charge at Fidelity" to describe Abigail Johnson becoming the CEO of Fidelity Investments. Why not say "Eddie steps down at Fidelity" to describe Edward Johnson III? Would you headline an article referring to "Billy" for Bill Gates, "Larry" for Larry Ellison or just plain "Warren" for Warren Buffett? I don't think so.

I expected more from Paste BN and am very disappointed in your failure to treat women in the workplace with the same professionalism offered to men.
