The back-and-forth between the bank and the U.S. regulator extended into another week as turmoil gripped the banking sector.

Hitler's First Radio Address | Facing History and Ourselves

Hitler's First Radio Address | Facing History and Ourselves : Now, German people, give us four years and then judge us. Now, German people, give us four years and then judge us. On February 1, 1933, two days after he was appointed chancellor, Hitler spoke over the radio to the German people about his vision for the future of the country: Over fourteen years have passed since that unhappy day when the German people, blinded by promises made by those at home and abroad, forgot the highest values of our past, of the Reich, of its honor and its freedom, and thereby lost everything. Since those days of treason, the Almighty has withdrawn his blessing from our nation. Discord and hatred have moved in. Filled with the deepest distress, millions of the best German men and women from all walks of life see the unity of the nation disintegrating in a welter of egotistical political opinions, economic interests, and ideological conflicts. As so often in our history, Germany, since the day the ...

Netflix live Chris Rock special won't 'move the needle,' but better move than sports: Analyst

Netflix live Chris Rock special won't 'move the needle,' but better move than sports: Analyst : "It's a free publicity move that's going to have no impact on their business," Michael Pachter, managing director of equity research at Wedbush Securities, told Yahoo Finance Live on Friday ahead of the special's release. "The idea that anybody's going to turn on Netflix by appointment is idiotic. We don't even know when regular TV shows are on," he said, adding the platform has "trained" consumers to embrace on-demand viewing habits. "Netflix is still Netflix," Pachter said bluntly. "It's not going to move the needle. No one is signing up for Netflix to watch this show."
