New Self-Help Books for Pet Parents

Can cats be trained? What do you do if your poodle is afraid of puddles? Pet experts offer advice and consider problems common and otherwise.

I am dog tolerant rather than enthusiastic.
It will be your dog.

After a two-year wait, a New York wine destination will reopen in Chelsea in a new guise.

Can you have just one glass?

Parents Sue After New York State Denies Money to ‘Failing’ Schools

In a lawsuit against two agencies, the plaintiffs say a promise was broken when nine schools labeled “persistently failing” showed improvement but were removed from a program that offers grants.

The authorities did not use due care in writing the rules.
The most direct fix is a rewrite of the rules.

Withholding Evidence From a Defendant, on ‘The Night Of’ and in Real Life

The prosecutor in the HBO series does not tell the defendant’s lawyers about exculpatory evidence, an egregious violation, and one similar to a real case in Queens.

A real problem.
It needs an airing.
This article is not that airing.

What Should I Do With My Dead Husband’s Journals?

The magazine’s Ethicist columnist on when private papers should remain private, whether prospective tenants should be told of a violent death in their apartment and whether a loved one with dementia must be told truths she can’t remember.

I don't need confessions.
Tell me what you want to tell me.

Happy Labor Day!

Patty melts, ice cream cake and more for a day of celebration.

Consider it done.

New to Airbnb? How to Make It Work for You

First-time users of Airbnb should contact hosts before their stays, know the cancellation policies, and leave honest feedback.

I would prefer an hotel.

Homes That Sold for $900,000 or More

Recent residential sales in New York City and the region.

None of these.

There are two of us. 
We should have a spare room.
If you want a hotel you can buy one too.

An Effective but Exhausting Alternative to High School Suspensions

When kids get into trouble at school, traditional forms of discipline often lead to more trouble. Is there a more productive way to change behavior?

Do what works.

Elites Neglect Veterans

The dearth of ex-military students at some colleges is shameful.

Dig deeper.
Most veterans do not make the cut on preparation.
Most are in a hurry to earn.
Many have a poor self image.

Travel

On the Via Francigena in Tuscany, Monasteries and Fellowship

The Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route, does not have the high profile of the Camino de Santiago, but it has rewards of its own (quiet among them).

It is a way to actually see the country.

W.H.O. Clarifies Advice on Sex and Pregnancy in Zika Regions

A spokeswoman said, “We want it to be unmistakable that we are not counseling anybody toward delay.”

The politics of pregnancy are insane.  Delay is strongly advised.
More than two months from diagnosis, less than six months.

Why Your Toothpaste Still Has Triclosan

When the Food and Drug Administration banned the antimicrobial chemical triclosan from soaps, it left the ingredient in Colgate Total toothpaste.

Colgate-Palmolive did their homework.

Research Suggests Women Are Asking for Raises, but Men Get Them More

A study of Australian women points to discrimination as a cause of a pay gap, with men getting raises 20 percent of the time they asked, compared with 16 percent for women.

People can know more.
The nature of the discrimination should be knowable.
Is the discrimination shrinking with time?
Can the process be hurried?

A Bold Attempt to Redefine ‘Dissidence’ in Cuba

Through a digital “museum of dissidence,” a Havana couple sets out to remind Cubans that Fidel and Raúl Castro were once dissidents.

Hacking is never respectable.
People love to do it.
Organizations resist it as they can.

Video: Long-Term Parking

An airport parking lot in Los Angeles has become an improvised village of airline workers.

A "travelers"camp.
There are no children.

We Are All Noah Now

We and our kids are rapidly becoming charged with saving each species’ last pairs.

Conservation against conservatism.

The actual question is how are the slain to be chosen.

Chains Will Bring a Taste of the West Coast to New York

Arriving this fall, restaurants from Sugarfish, Wolfgang Puck and Eatsa.

The economies of scale are irresistible.

As convenient.

Drug Linked to Ohio Overdoses Can Kill in Doses Smaller than a Snowflake

Carfentanil, an animal tranquilizer, was believed responsible for many of more than 200 overdoses in the Cincinnati area over the past two weeks.

Killing the customers is not a sustainable business.
