Description

Can you sue the United Nations over a tragic cholera outbreak in Haiti? Well, first you have to figure out how to serve top diplomats with papers. Today on The Gist, lawyer Stanley Alpert says U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was served last week outside of the Asia Society, but U.N. spokesman says a security guard interceded. Then, Invisibles author David Zweig explains a path to professional success that doesn’t involve relentless self-promotion. And forget Upworthy—in today’s Spiel, everything’s crapworthy.Get The Gist by email as soon as it’s available: slate.com/GistEmailSubscribe to the podcast in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slate…id873667927?mt=2Learn more about your ad choices.
