Why Do Anything?

The procrastinator is both contemplator and man of action, which is the worst thing to be.

Doing is inescapable.
Death is an action.
Degenerate tragedy.

Supreme Court to Hear Case on Juror Racial Bias

Finding His Place, Reluctantly, in the Tribe of Judaism

For Philippe Sands, the story of the Nuremberg trials and the development of human rights intersects with his family history in painful ways.

"He paused again. “I don’t want to be treated as Sands the Brit, Sands the European, Sands the liberal, Sands the Jew,” he said. “I just want to be treated as Sands. And we all want that. But actually it’s never going to happen. It’s never going to happen.”"

"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."

Two books, both by interested parties, examine a 1.3-mile restoration along the East River.
