A Tide of Opioid-Dependent Newborns Forces Doctors to Rethink Treatment

Infants born dependent on opioids are routinely removed from their mothers and sent to big hospitals. But keeping mother and baby together may be the best treatment.

The doctors are learning.
The courts are slower to learn.
The children are borne ignorant.

When the Mother of an Opioid-Dependent Newborn Hears, ‘You Can’t Have Your Baby’

Catherine Saint Louis, a health reporter, explains how she reported an article about rural Kentucky grappling with newborns facing opioid withdrawal.

The moral culture of Kentucky has not changed.
It is built on no forgiveness of sin.

To Beyoncé or Not to Beyoncé: The Challenges of Confirming the Birth of Her Twins

Reports that Beyoncé had given birth started in mid-June. Without any named sources or official word from the star, we opted for caution over clicks.

She looks luscious in her portrait.

‘Not Right Now’: Republicans and the Art of Not Talking About Trump

Most Republicans in Congress have become adept at avoiding questions about Trump scandals, a skill they used again after revelations about an email to the president’s son.

Trump is "running block" for the Republican Health care bill.

The bill should not pass and the "blocking" should destroy the Trumps.

Farhad’s and Mike’s and Nellie’s Week in Tech: Struggles for Snap

Three Times tech reporters discuss Snap’s difficulties as a public company, and the so-called net neutrality debate.

The providers are fighting for audience share.
I am dreading the hacking to come.

The common carrier rules exist because competition made electronic communication unusable.
If the net neutrality rules go away they will soon return.

For the moment there is Bit Torrent:

Good luck to the project.  It is needed.

Cliffhangers Are Ruining the Golden Age of TV

Is artistry in special danger of becoming mere stimulation in our binge culture?

The golden age of Television was always as old as the viewer.
When television was younger than the viewers it was the movies.

How Poems Inspire Pictures

Six photographers read poems about America. Here's what they saw in the words.

The coupling is not good.

I probably need to study more.

Democrats, Hoping to Retake House, Walk Tightrope in Unlikely Places

They are focusing on areas where Hillary Clinton prevailed, but also on districts where they hope to win back voters they lost to Mr. Trump last year.

We must try everywhere.

Yellen Treads Carefully on Regulatory Issues in Senate Panel Appearance

With the U.S. economy growing, the subject of monetary policy was mostly ignored during the Senate Banking Committee’s meeting Thursday with Janet L. Yellen, chairwoman of the Federal Reserve.

No immediate change seems to be Janet Yellen's position.

An Office Built Around Hip-Hop

Steven Victor, senior vice president for artists and repertoire at Universal Music, has set up his office with a nod to the recording industry’s past.

He has a short memory.

New Sentences: From ‘You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,’ by Sherman Alexie

A study in how repetition can be a kind of statement in itself.

A review with borrowed power.

DeVos Says She Will Revisit Obama-Era Sexual Assault Policies

After an “emotionally draining day” of meeting with victims and those accused of sexual assault, the education secretary made her first public comments on the issue.

Separate but equal degenerates to separate.
Chastity belts are not a solution.
Any effective change of culture will be slow and uncertain.
Betsey DeVos has a persistent problem.
Her other failures are the reasons she should leave her office.

Results for Big Banks Show a Reliance on Washington

Higher interest rates buoyed JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. But so, to varying degrees, did one-offs, low tax rates and benign credit costs.

I think Antony Currie is saying that the banks are claiming results that management was not responsible for.  Washington made the results look good with one time benefits.  More such benefits may not occur.
