With makeup and an affected Elvis pout, Tucson’s Charlie Schmid was a crude parody of a bad-boy heartthrob. In 1964, he still had a hold on girls who’d follow him anywhere. He murdered three of them. It was the dawn of the free-love movement - perfect for a magnetic madman who’d also foreshadow its end a few years later in the malignant charisma of Charles Manson. The inspiration for a classic story by Joyce Carol Oates, Schmid, the most bizarre serial killer of any era, was the epitome of a narcissist flattered into believing he could get away with murder.

Acres of Diamonds - essay, written by Russell Herman Conwell (February 15, 1843 – December 6, 1925) was an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer. The original inspiration for Acres of Diamonds, his most famous essay, occurred in 1869 when Conwell was traveling in the Middle East.

TBSドラマ『半沢直樹』が社会現象と言えるほどの盛り上がりを見せました。最終回の瞬間最高視聴率46.7％、全回の平均視聴率でも42.2％という平成ドラマ史上No1となる数字（共に関東地区）を叩き出したことからも、盛り上がりの凄さがうかがえます。 ただ、盛り上がった半面、色々な疑問を持った人も多いはず。筆者自身、以下のような質問をちょくちょくされています。 「なぜこれほど盛り上がったのか？」 「ああいうサラリーマンは許されるのか？」 「衝撃のエンディングにはどういう意味があるのか？」 ええ、もちろんこれらは人事の範疇なので、すべて人事的に解説可能です。確かに作品としては純エンタメですが、半沢直樹を人事的に紐説けば、そこに現れるのは生々しいまでのリアルです。ファンはもちろんのこと、ドラマ未視聴という方も、そこから学べるものは大きいでしょう。(本文より)城繁幸の『サラリーマン・キャリアナビ』★出世と喧嘩の正しい作法はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/joe.html
