Among other items, I wanted to speak with Young about public and private partnerships and building coalitions with Democrats and Republicans as well as whites and Blacks, which he excelled at when he was the mayor of Atlanta (and as a Congressman). However, while I had time with Young — who at 90 years old is one of the last surviving lions of the civil rights movement — I had to ask… Source link

When police are trying to solve a crime, they often turn to Google for help. It makes sense since the Silicon Valley giant has grown into a nearly $1.6 trillion company on the strength of its most valuable asset: Data on billions of people. And often, finding out where someone was at the time of a crime, or what they were Googling before a crime occurs, can be pivotal to investigators. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v.
