BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Is it too late to call in sick? Blame it on the weather, perhaps?

Turner Classic Movies, per its lineup and commercials teasing the all-day event, is featuring insurance-themed movies Wednesday. Not sure why — Business Insurance reached out to the network and hasn’t heard back.

While you might have already missed Wednesday morning’s “The Golden Fleecing,” a 1940 comedy about a mild-mannered insurance salesman who gets mixed up with gangsters, and “Accidents will Happen,” a 1938 crime drama about an insurance man who tangles with a fraud ring, there’s still time to tune in.

Airing this afternoon are “Pitfall,” a 1948 mystery about a married insurance man who falls for a criminal’s girlfriend, “Roadblock, a 1951 suspense film about an insurance agent’s greedy wife who leads him into a life of crime, and several other films airing straight into the evening hours, all having stood the test of time, relaying the message: there’s nothing boring about insurance.
