Barbie’s Dream House and NYC’s Private School Nightmare

Today, there are two stories on Infamous. First, Vanessa talks to Decoder Ring's Willa Paskin about the event of the summer — the Barbie movie — and learns about Barbie's bizarre origin story, how she's evolved since the late fifties, and what's next for the Barbie franchise.

Then, Gabe Sherman returns to talk about a major scandal at one of the most elite private high schools in the country: Horace Mann. This school, where politicians, celebrities and financiers send their kids, turns into a pressure cooker when students, teachers, and the board find themselves in conflict over some disturbing Facebook posts and a teacher's roman à clef.
