Christa Quarles of OpenTable: The Advantage of ‘Early, Often, Ugly’

The chief of OpenTable says she can change course much faster if teams don’t waste time trying to make something perfect before they show it to her.

It is not the discussion I expected.

Review: At Rosemary and Vine in Rye, Full-Flavor Vegetarian

There are no veggie burgers or other clichés at this restaurant, just robust Mediterranean meals that dispense with the meat but not the flavor.

As convenient.

South Carolina Law on Disrupting School Faces Legal Challenge

A federal suit says the law, which was used last year when a white sheriff’s deputy dragged a black student from her desk and arrested her, violates due process.

This example of pilling on should be struck down.
Schools should handle such problems internally.

Officials Spent Big on Olympics, but Rio Natives Are Paying the Price

Whining does little good.

Older organ donors, living or dead, are desirable for older recipients, who represent a growing proportion of transplant patients.

I have been squeemish about organ donation.
Signing up is not a bad Idea.

To Get to Harvard, Go to Haiti?

Our college admissions mania has turned empathy into an extracurricular activity.

I hope it does not work in most cases.

How a Priest Made the Case for Mother Teresa’s Sainthood

In this Q. and A., the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, the editor of a book on Mother Teresa and a member of an order she founded, tells of the process leading to her canonization.

Wonders can happen.  The placebo effect is real as is hysterical strength.
I will not argue with their faith.  It is not mine.

Rio’s Carnival for the Senses Ends at the Food Line

The distinctive flavorlessness of Biscoito Globo — akin to a Funyun minus the onion, or a Cheez Doodle without the cheese — makes it a perfect symbol for the city’s food.


The Portuguese in Brazil wanted the food of home.
