Richard G. Hatcher, Ex-Mayor of Gary, Ind., and Champion of Urban and Black Issues, Dies at 86
Mr. Hatcher repeatedly predicted that the city was about to turn the corner. He and his supporters argued that racism was a major force in Gary’s continuing slide. Urban affairs experts have pointed to the volatile economic history of the steel industry and its automation of recent decades. When Mr. Hatcher left office, there were fewer than 10,000 people working at the mill, less than half the number when he was elected 20 years earlier. But the criticisms won out in the fifth when another black Democrat, Thomas V. Barnes, soundly beat him in the 1987 Democratic primary — and again when Mr. Hatcher tried to oust Mr. Barnes four years later.

Felix Rohatyn, banker who helped rescue New York, dies at 91
Felix Rohatyn, a pioneer of Wall Street’s lucrative corporate-acquisition business who steered New York City from bankruptcy in the 1970s and remained an unelected guardian of its finances for almost two decades, has died. The threat of bankruptcy receded in 1978 when the federal government approved $1.65 billion in loan guarantees for New York. AdvertisementAfter yet more stops -- in Algeria, Morocco, Portugal, Brazil -- the family reached New York City in June 1942. Carey’s call to help save New York City came in 1975. Long seen as a candidate to lead Lazard, Rohatyn declined the chance in the late 1970s.

Helen Raleigh: Trump should seek bigger China trade deal – Chinese hurt by trade war, need US food imports
At a news briefing in China, Chinese officials confirmed that the text of the agreement covers topics including intellectual property rights, technology transfers, food and agricultural products, and dispute settlement. It's important to keep in mind that the U.S.-China trade war isn't about the trade alone. To offset the pork shortage, China has lifted a five-year ban on imports of U.S. poultry meat, even without a trade deal. However, we should be asking ourselves why the U.S. would want to agree to a limited Phase One trade deal. There is not much strategic advantage for the U.S. to agree to a limited trade deal now, because it will leave many deliberate goals unfulfilled.

Trade Deal: A Reason To Buy?
There are of course still some questions to be answered, as no details have been reported regarding the phase one trade deal. The daily chart shows that the S&P 500 A/D line overcame its downtrend (line 1) on October 10. This may cause some to take profits on new trade deal news. There are also likely many professionals who have become immune to trade news, and are unlikely to establish new positions until a trade deal is fully negotiated and signed. However, with only 68% of the S&P 500 stocks above their 50-day EMA's, there are still many opportunities in individual stocks.

Asian American group tells NBC to sever ties with Leno over dog-eating joke
An Asian American advocacy group is telling NBC to cut ties with former late-night host Jay Leno after he made an insensitive joke about Koreans eating dog meat. The dog jokes have been a longstanding issue between the group -- Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) -- and NBC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Many Americans are unable to distinguish between persons of Korean heritage living in North Korea, South Korea or the U.S., or between Asians and Asian Americans generally," he said. "We are not accepted as real Americans; rather, we are subjected to ridicule, disdain and abuse, which has resulted in a rise in racial profiling and hate crimes against Asians, Asian Americans and immigrants." JAY LENO ON LATE-NIGHT TV: 'I DON'T MISS IT'A representative for Leno did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
