N.Y. / Region

Sheridan Expressway Shortcut

A fond memory of an unloved stretch of road.

The cabby was wrong again.

Crosswords & Games

Viewership Peaks

Jeff Chen and Seth Geltman assure us that everything’s great.

I will skip Jeff Koons

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

Trump Interviewing 2 F.B.I. Candidates

The president was to speak with Christopher Wray, a former assistant attorney general, and John S. Pistole, who held two top government positions.

The F.B.I. will not trust Donald Trump.

Opinion

Has the Democratic Party Gotten Too Rich for Its Own Good?

In the past, Democrats could support progressive policies knowing that the costs would fall largely on Republicans. Not anymore.

Thomas B. Edsall opposes all Democrats.

Newly Named NASA Spacecraft Will Aim Straight for the Sun

The Parker Solar Probe, named in honor of Eugene Parker, who predicted the existence of the solar wind, is to launch in 2018 and study the sun up close.

It might work.
The answers will be fascinating

The Learning Network

Questions for: ‘Three Men Stood Up to Anti-Muslim Attack. Two Paid With Their Lives.’

What did you learn about Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche from this article? Rick Best? Micah David-Cole Fletcher?

Some people have hair trigger tempers.
If they must be dealt with physically it is best to let the authorities do it.

Books

Boldly Saddling Up

William Shatner’s new book reveals a side of the star that might be unknown even to his legions of fans.

I have little use for Star Trek.

As for cool, the dead are relaxed and calm after rigor passes off.   They are definitely cool in their refrigerators.

The Upshot

A 2016 Review: Why Key State Polls Were Wrong About Trump

Pollsters are leaning toward optimistic explanations that their problems of last year can be fixed.

I would like to see the gerrymanders fixed.

Biden to Create a Political Action Committee, a Possible Signal for 2020

By creating a political action committee, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is showing that he is not retreating from the political stage.

Biden should lose in the primaries.

In Police Shootings, Finding Jurors Who Will Say ‘Not Guilty’

Jury selection is a dark art in which consultants use social media, private investigators and even bumper stickers to sift sympathizers from skeptics.

Winning is how attorneys get paid.
