party, disinterest, being of the party, unexceptionable,unimpeachable


In a recent Forbes article, ‪#‎YaleSOM‬ Prof Jason Dana expresses serious concerns about conflict of interest between big pharma and doctors. “If we have a financial incentive to believe something or conclude something, we kind of trick ourselves into thinking it’s true. And we are not always aware that we are doing it…No pharma companies spend this kind of money in a disinterested way.”http://www.forbes.com/…/big-pharma-continues-to-funnel-bil…/

The moral power of Martin Luther King's "Dream" speech, made 50 years ago on August 28th 1963, is unimpeachable. But what is striking is something that is largely lost to modern rhetoric. With radical intent, King appealed to America with a deeply conservative speech http://econ.st/1dpIYEy

Today is #WorldPartyDay, which is rather unfortunate timing.
A 'party', pronounced /ˈpɑːti/, was defined as a social gathering of invited guests, typically involving eating, drinking and entertainment. The purpose of a party was to bring people together to socialise, converse, or commemorate a special date or anniversary. Many types of parties were thrown across different cultures, from 'birthday' and 'surprise' parties, to 'dinner' and 'tea' parties. Unthinkable in today's climate, parties were one of the most common pastimes of humans until early Spring of the year 2020.
While they came to an abrupt stop due to social distancing measures, it is believed that they will resume again, perhaps with even more enthusiasm than before. This artwork by Hokusai shows what a small party might have looked like.

He coached with us in 1880, I think, through Southern England—William Black and Edwin A. Abbey being of the party. Approaching a pretty village he asked me if the coach might stop there a few minutes. He explained that this was the resting-place of his godfather, Bishop Keble, and he should like to visit his grave. He continued:

[Middle English partie, part, side, group, from Old French, from feminine past participle of partir, to divide, from Latin partīre, from pars, part-, part. See part.]
partyer par'ty·er or par'ti·er n.


USAGE NOTE Party is unexceptionable when used to refer to a participant in a social arrangement, as in She was not named as a party in the conspiracy. It is this sense that underlies the legal use of the term, as when one speaks of the parties to a contract. The legal use has in turn led to the presence of the word in many fixed expressions, such as injured party and third party. But party is also widely used as a general substitute for person, as in Would all parties who left packages at the desk please reclaim them. This usage has been established for many centuries, but in the Victorian era it came to be associated with the language of the semieducated and it has been the subject of many later criticisms. This use of party may have been reinforced in the 20th century by its adoption by telephone operators. In other contexts, when used in earnest, it may be perceived as a superfluous variant for person. But the jocular use of the term is well established, particularly in references such as a wise old party.


disinterest (noun) Freedom from selfish bias or self-interest; impartiality.
Synonyms:neutrality
Usage:The old judge, who usually conducted herself with disinterest, seemed to favor the prosecution from the start in this case.
