Malachi Smith’s recruiting page is still sitting there in plain sight. Evidence of what was. His younger version was an unrated, unranked recruit. Zero stars. Zero! His page on 247Sports included a blank headshot. Rivals didn’t even bother making one.

Disgraced former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli has been in a whirlwind the past few months. Most people were introduced to the 32-year-old through Turing Pharmaceuticals, a company he headed at the time, where he raised the price of the drug, Daraprim, from $13.50 a pill to a whopping $750 a pill, in September.

With the exception of Pond’s Cold Cream, few beauty products have transcended time like L'Oréal’s Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray. Reportedly released back in the ‘60s, it’s since become a widespread staple for celebrity hairstylists, my 72-year-old mom (who's been team Elnett since its inception), and yours truly.
