High-Intensity Workouts May Be Good at Any Age

Old mice could rapidly gain fitness and strength, even if they started off frail and exercised for only a few minutes a week.

Well worth the experiment.

The Upshot

Congress Is Facing a Time Crunch to Repeal Obamacare

If the Senate bill doesn’t pass in July, it will complicate many other political priorities.

Good.
None of the Republican priorities advance living for most residents.

Why can't Republicans govern? Trump isn't the problem. The problem is that they have no good ideas 1/

Twitter’s Passion Politics

Certain morally charged messages are most likely to spread.

People like drama until the guns are brought out.

Right and Left on the Future of the Senate Health Care Bill

Read about how the other side thinks: Writers from across the political spectrum on the health care overhaul, the travel ban and more.

More noise from all three sides.

The Republican health care bill should not be law.

If it is blocking other bad legislation, that is beneficial.

You Should Not Have Let Your Baby Die

At two days old, Sam could not breathe on his own. What else could have been done?

"You should have killed your baby."

I work to suppress my doubts.

Medicaid works.

Trump’s Relations With the Media

Readers discuss how each attacks the other. “You may despise Mr. Trump’s style of rebuttal, but the clash is a fair fight,” one writer says.

The relationship is codependent.

Interview Prep for Dogs

Tips for dog owners on training and preparing their pets for life in a co-op.

Dogs are.    
I do not want to do that to a dog.

I want to live in my own establishment.


Opinion

The Culture of Dishonesty

As disheartening as Mr. Trump’s record of dishonesty is, his team’s willingness to share in it is worse.

. . .
"They argued all night
As to who had the right
To do what and with which and to whom."

His "team" would not be employed by the Trumps
if they did not agree on goals and methods.

A Small-Town Police Officer’s War on Drugs

New Hampshire has the second-highest rate of drug overdoses in the country. Eric Adams in Laconia (population 16,000) has been assigned one task: to stop them.

Ultimately only the addicted person can fight his or her or its addiction.
Others can and should try to help the person fight.

How to separate the resisting people from the enthusiastically addicted
is an initial problem I have not solved.

The enthused addicts die quickly.
