Business Day

A Deadly Car’s Winding Road

The Honda Civic whose airbag killed Delia Robles was resold three times at used-car auctions before it was bought by her son.

Buying a deeply used car is a desperate act.

Coastal Jointweed Brings Fall Blooms to City’s Barrens

Autumn is the perfect time to seek out this hearty, elegant plant, a natural anomaly whose blooms bring a stark beauty to the city’s driest landscapes.

I will look for coastal jointweed.

Science

Flying for 10 Months Without a Layover


Clever investigators.

I have not been seeing swifts in recent years.

They spend more time in the air than people should.

Opinion

Seeing What the Wildfires Took, and What They Left Behind


People are messy.

Travel

Escaping a New Dominican Cruise Port

Spending time, and not much money, off the beaten path, in and around Puerto Plata.

A packaged adventure.

In Bridge Trial, Prosecutors Portray Ex-Christie Aide as Eager Warrior

Prosecutors used texts and emails to show how Bridge Anne Kelly, a former aide to Gov. Chris Christie, modeled herself after him and iced out his political foes.

The government of New Jersey has been intensely partisan.

Police Shoot Armed Man at Queens Housing Complex

The authorities said that two officers fired after a man ignored orders to drop his gun, wounding the suspect in the leg.

Early reports have a low information content.

In Closing Words at Bridge Trial, Prosecution Returns to a Familiar Email

The email, sent by a former aide to Gov. Chris Christie before the lane closings in 2013, was magnified on a screen in the courtroom: “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.”

The traffic problems in Fort Lee were planned in the governors office.

Books

Their Inner Beasts: ‘Lord of the Flies’ Six Decades Later

Rereading William Golding’s classic, Lois Lowry finds herself despairing that circumstances led the children to such a hell.

I think I read it.
I may not have finished it.

Food

At the Beatrice Inn, Cuisine for Animals

Angie Mar, the chef and owner of this West Village restaurant, mines history for forgotten indulgences that satisfy innate cravings.

I do not need the Beatrice Inn.
I will go if taken.
