Masterpiece | Any Human Heart | PBS:

 "How can a man in the bloom of youth, pursuing writing and sex with equal vigor, end up grizzled, old, and surrounded by piles of boxes and paper, the detritus of a life? The answer is the story of Logan Mountstuart, who believes, "Every human being is a collection of selves...we never stay just one person." And the twentieth century provides the perfect backdrop for Logan to live out his lives, drinking absinthe with Ernest Hemingway, initiated into intrigue by Ian Fleming, and embroiled in the arch expat world of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. A novelist, war correspondent, father, spy, prisoner of war, art dealer, husband, and many times over, a lover — an Everyman of sorts — Logan is played at three junctures of his life by Sam Claflin, Matthew Macfadyen (Little Dorrit), and Jim Broadbent. An intimate take on a sweeping century, Any Human Heart is based on the bestselling book by William Boyd and also stars Kim Cattrall (My Boy Jack), Gillian Anderson (Bleak House) and Hayley Atwell (Mansfield Park)."

a worker who betrays the interests of fellow workers


March 13, 1830
The term “rat,” referring to a worker who betrays the interests of fellow workers, first appeared in print. The New York Daily Sentinel reported on replacement workers who had agreed to work for two-thirds of the going rate.
“ . . . [many printers are out of work, others are being paid about 2/3 the regular pay; they should join in cooperative associations, ‘as we have done’]
“ [While] the master printers [fill] their offices with boys and two-thirds men, alias ‘rats,’ it will be difficult to find a remedy.”

99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film: Sundance Review - The Hollywood Reporter

99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film: Sundance Review - The Hollywood Reporter:

 Four directors and six co-directors compiled this documentary, which bespeaks the adage that too many cooks spoil the soup. Aesthetically, 99% follows a predictable, redundant course: It is basically talking-heads film-making, as a slew of left-leaning intellectuals detail the economic/societal problems, transitioned by the noisy slew of indistinguishable Occupy protests.
