She came up with the designation herself: The Alderbroad. Politically incorrect? You betcha. But it was a badge of defiant honour to Sue Higgins, a retired Calgary alderman of 21 years who died Sunday after a long struggle against cancer.

The label spoke to her toughness and her testy intolerance of the bull-enhanced fertilizer which dominates the political machinations and bureaucracy of every city hall.

Higgins relished rubbing against the political grain in words, actions and personal behaviour.

She swore a lot, never hesitating to F-bomb something or someone off side with her views.

She was a rabid smoker who defended puffing in public places long after that fight was lost.

Even her biological clock was out of sync with normal. She worked past midnight, slept until noon and woe to the reporter who called her mid-morning because she'd hang up and call you back at 2 a.m. to announce she was just going to bed.

She was impossible to miss when arriving in the council chambers in the late 1970s, cursing the weight of heavily flagged agenda binders with a cigarette holder in one hand, her grey hair brushed in an upsweep which defied gravity and fashion while sporting only pantsuits, never skirts.

She cackled more than laughed, and her voice boomed like gravel being ground to dust. But when Higgins spoke, nervous bureaucrats braced themselves for hard questions that wouldn't be pacified by patronizing answers.

That's because she was the fiercest fiscal hawk Calgary had ever seen, driving the rest of council to distraction with her relentless pinching of every penny to make sure maximum value was being extracted.

She chaired the finance committee with a fiscal vigilance bordering on becoming vigilante. She loathed tax increases that beat inflation and figured nice-to-haves had no place in the essential-only spending by city hall. There are clearly not enough Sue Higgins in Alberta politics today.

But locals said they had no issue with the pubs 17th century name and the new one would be impossible to pronounce after a few drinks

Drinkers at a pub called the Black Boy are outraged by plans to give it a more politically-correct name.

JD Wetherspoon, which bought the boozer in Newtown, mid-Wales, wants to call it the Llywelyn ap Gruffydd after the countrys last sovereign prince.

But locals said they had no issue with the pubs 17th century name and the new one would be impossible to pronounce after a few drinks.

One said: "I've been drinking my ale at the Black Boy for years and I've never had a problem with the name.

"I don't see what all the fuss is about - the Black Boy is part of this town's history. It really is political correctness gone mad."

Wetherspoon said it would re-consider.

BISMARCK A former staffer involved in a controversy over what state Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has called politically incorrect comments he made in her presence says her exit interviews with Goehring and a department director were a sham.

Katie Pinke resigned last March as the departments marketing and information division director.

Goehring and Ken Junkert, the departments administrative services director, jointly conducted a face-to-face exit interview with Pinke on March 7 and filled out her exit interview questionnaire based on her answers though Pinke said the completed questionnaires, which are now public record and were obtained by Forum News Service, dont accurately reflect her answers.

I said a lot about the communication and the problems that the commissioner was having, and theres nothing negative about the commissioner in the exit interview, Pinke, now working as a marketing consultant, said in a phone interview Thursday.

The questionnaires do mention lack of communication, leadership and mentoring as being among her reasons for leaving the department, but they dont mention Goehring specifically.

Pinke said a human resources representative wasnt in the room which Goehring confirmed and she didnt sign off on what was written on the questionnaire.

As a division director, Pinke herself conducted three exit interviews during her 14 months in the job, records show. She said none involved a human resources representative.

So, to me, those arent official, she said. They can be filled out after the employee has left.

Deputy Commissioner Tom Bodine, who oversees the departments day-to-day operations, said the department changed its exit interview process this past week, recognizing the flaw of not having a third party conduct the interview. He said a human resources liaison will now do the exit interviews and share the results with the employees supervisor and Bodine.

I wish that was a policy before, he said Thursday. We just really carried on what other administrations had done.

When the husband of the Tiger Mom says you've entered a subject area that's "about as politically incorrect as we can get," that's saying something. I elicited that response after asking Jed Rubenfeld to analyze the success and relative stability of Jews vs. the decline of WASPs. Rubenfeld is the less-known half of the married duo that just brought us The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America.

Shame on Rubenfeld and Amy Chua for not including my own triple threat - Montenegrins, Italians, and descendants of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Instead they lauded the success of Asians, Cubans, Jews, Indians, Nigerians, Mormons, Iranians, and Lebanese. The Yale Law School professors assert those eight groups distinguish themselves by leading lives dictated by their superiority complex, insecurity, and impulse control. (Each trait, they say, runs contrary to a core tenet of contemporary thinking.) They believe that while any person from any background can embody those traits, their research shows it is instilled more frequently by the groups they chart.

How else to explain why, in 2010, Nigerians were 0.7 percent of the black American population, but (in 2013) accounted for between 20 to 25 percent of the 120 black students at Harvard Business School? Or that, in 2010, the Wharton School placed 31 of its graduates at Goldman Sachs - exactly the same number as the much lesser-known and Mormon-affiliated Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Management?

"There are literally dozens of groups outperforming the national average," Rubenfeld told me. "We focused on the groups you mentioned for a couple of reasons: One, because they're the largest of the successful groups, but two, because their success is the most striking and the most quantifiable, and they change over time. This is something we really want to stress, that is, the successful groups in America. It's a dynamic thing. The traits remain the same that we focused on, but if we had looked 20 years ago, we would have found different groups at the top of the income ladder, and if we look 20 years from now, we will find different groups."

So what happens in the future in a world that New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman describes as "flat"? When groups intermarry and there are fewer differences among countries and cultures, don't the cultures that have been prospering lose the traits that make up the triple package?

Rubenfeld thought the question valid. He told me that Asian American kids famously scoring better on tests is "verifiable fact, not stereotype," but not permanent.

"This success tends to dissipate after a couple of generations. . . . Somehow those first-generation, second-generation immigrants, they're communicating something to their kids, they're putting a charge in them. They are communicating, through the values and the way they raise them, some kind of special drive. And we're saying, What if we could bottle that?"

One of the groups that have had a decline of fortune is white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs), who Chua told me were the original triple-package culture.

"But this is a very fluid theory, and that's what I think is so interesting," Chua said. "Look at the second half of our title. It's about the rise and fall of cultural groups because success breeds less insecurity."
