A piece Beth wrote before this year: “The Lifestyle and Demise of Kent Taylor,” about the founder and CEO of Texas Roadhouse, who died by suicide in 2021 right after enduring horrible submit-COVID signs or symptoms, is 1 of my favorites. One more 1 of her capabilities, “McFamily Feud: Scandal, lawsuits, and cultural upheaval at McDonald’s,” not long ago obtained an honorable mention for cultural criticism from the Countrywide Press Club. Then there is “America’s Black Mind Drain,” which won the New York Push Club Award last year for enterprise writing. “Fertility Inc.: Inside of the Business enterprise of Babymaking,” is a different gem.
