The Short List
 
Saturday, July 31

Good morning, friends of The Short List! It's John, and I'm here to interrupt your Olympics TV viewing (briefly) for some of the week's best work from the USA TODAY Network. Let's get started!

Speaking of the Olympics: Women in Tokyo are rewriting the rules of the Games. In controversies including Simone Biles' withdrawal from competition, athletes calling out sexist uniforms, and a fight over breastfeeding moms, today's female Olympians "are rejecting a culture of silence many no longer view as the price of competition," writes USA TODAY's Alia Dastagir.

In 1972, Melvin McNair and several associates thought they had a surefire way to escape racial repression in America: hijack an airplane . They did just that, forcing a Delta airliner to divert to Algeria after demanding $1 million from the U.S. government. In France, where he has been living for nearly half a century, McNair recounted his remarkable tale to USA TODAY's Kim Hjelmgaard. "Maybe it was a miscalculation," he said. "But I'm at peace with what I did."

"I quit." Americans are leaving their jobs in record numbers, often because they are feeling burned out, writes USA TODAY's Paul Davidson. "Many white-collar employees prefer to work from home permanently after doing so during the pandemic, a dynamic that's likely to spark another job switching frenzy this fall as some businesses require employees to return to the office, experts say."

Thank you for your attention. You may now resume rooting for Team USA in Tokyo! And there's plenty more great content below.
