The Wrong Way to Count Prisoners
By including inmates in the population of the place where they are held, the Census Bureau is unfairly giving some voters more political power.The Bureau of the Census is not responsible for the behavior of the states.
Prisoners are counted where they are held in forced residency.
The Legislatures should fix the imbalance.

When Police Use Lethal Robots
With little public scrutiny, police departments across the country have equipped themselves with robots.The police must not indulge in assassination.

First Case of Female-to-Male Transmission of Zika Is Recorded
The new evidence widens the pool of those at risk from the virus, which had been thought to pass only from men to women or between two men during sex.A new sexually transmitted disease.
Researchers have questions to answer:
Is it chronic?
After "recovery" does genetic damage persist?
What is the transmission period?
Are asymptomatic cases infectious?
That will do for now.

Though Chief David O. Brown has worked to steer his department away from a history of racism and abuse, black residents expressed a wide range of views of the police.Belief and government policy are different things.

How the Headlights Rated
Even the best headlights didn’t always get passing grades in the insurance group’s test.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/15/automobiles/road-seems-dark-to-you-new-tests-blame-your-headlights.html
I find I am blinded by oncoming traffic.
Forbidding others the use of the roads is not a solution.
Lighting the rural roads is not acceptable.
Less powerful low beams and penalties for failure to dim is reasonable.

Race Relations Are at Lowest Point in Obama Presidency, Poll Finds
A New York Times/CBS News Poll indicates that relations between African-Americans and the police are so brittle that the attack that killed five officers in Dallas left many respondents unsurprised.There is no direct causal link between president Obama and relations between blacks and the police.
The link is through the Republican party.
