  6. Sweat-free labels to change the garment trade [Blowback]

    In a May 7 Op-Ed <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-greenwald-bangladesh-triangle-fire-20130507,0,5592068.story">article</a>, Richard Greenwald and Michael Hirsch exhort consumers to support the workers who make our clothes rather than the global apparel industry that exploits them with low wages and unsafe working conditions. Yet exactly how we should do this remains unclear. We need to be more specific about our moral responsibility so that the "labels we wear not be stitched in blood."

  12. Angelina Jolie, the BRCA mutation and me

    Late Monday night, friends and colleagues started sending me Angelina Jolie's op-ed about her decision to have a double mastectomy. Like Jolie, I have the mutation in my BRCA1 gene that pushed my lifetime risk of developing breast cancer to nearly 90%. (It also raised my risk of ovarian cancer above 50%.) Also like Jolie, I chose to get a double mastectomy to reduce my risk of <a>breast cancer</a> to less than 5%. In 2007, I wrote a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/me-anna13,0,3940486,full.story">first-person story</a> in the Los Angeles Times about finding out I had this mutation and how I decided what to do about it.
