Let it cook.

Fox Wants Ex-Host’s Harassment Suit Sent to Arbitration

The former host, Andrea Tantaros, “is not a victim; she is an opportunist,” the network said in a motion filed in New York State Supreme Court.

The settlement of the dispute in public is the purpose of the dispute.
The harassment suit must not go to arbitration, a closed procedure.

Criminal Justice Reform

A co-founder of the Innocence Project offers another way in which New York is trailing other states.

The purpose of prosecution is the production of a public drama of justice done.
Better assurance of the prosecution of the guilty will reduce the drama.
That result will be less satisfying to the public.

Their Soil Toxic, 1,100 Indiana Residents Scramble to Find New Homes

In a situation echoing the crisis in Flint, Mich., a housing complex’s poor, mostly black residents are being resettled because of high lead and arsenic levels.

Cheap space is cheap for a reason.

"The extent of the contamination came as a shock to residents of the complex, even though it is just north of a huge former U.S.S. Lead smelting plant and on top of a smaller former smelting operation, in an area that was designated a Superfund site in 2009."

When Technology Sets Off a Populist Revolt

If you think globalization, immigration and trade have contributed to political anger, wait until robots take away millions and millions of jobs.

Under scarcity supply and demand decouple.

Chessy Prout was 15 when she accused Owen Labrie of rape at St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H., but he was convicted of lesser charges. She revealed her identity on the “Today” show Tuesday.

The Veggie Burger’s Ascent

The newest meatless burgers aren’t obligatory additions to menus. They’re the stars.

When one will carry veggie burgers to a cookout they will be competitive.

Veggie food can stay Buddhist.  I will enjoy it as such.

Hengjun Chao, 49, was charged with attempted second-degree murder after he allegedly wounded two men, including the dean of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, where Mr. Chao once worked.

The career destruction was deserved.  The psychosis was earned.
