My Boyfriend’s Gaining Weight. I Feel Shallow for Caring.

We were madly in love and planning to get married. But lately I’ve been doubting my physical attraction to him. Is this reasonable, or self-sabotage?

Talk helps.

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

Why I Refuse to Avoid White People

Hearing the words “white power” is deeply painful for me as a black woman. But it’s worse for the broken people chanting them.

She will not give the racists the satisfaction.

The Most Romantic 25 Minutes in New York

The photographer Ramsay de Give needed an escape from the New York grind. He found it on the Staten Island Ferry — fog, romance and serenity, all free.

The boats were steam powered.

Why Trump Is Right to Get Tough With Pakistan

The success of the president’s Afghan strategy will turn on ending Pakistani impunity for sheltering terrorists.

Getting tough with South Asia will do no good.

A Subway to Staten Island? It Almost Happened.

In the early 1900s, residents on Staten Island were hopeful that a trip to the other four boroughs would become a reality.

It is still a good idea.

PATH cars may be smaller than subway cars.

In a Thriving City, SoHo’s Soaring Rents Keep Storefronts Empty

One of the city’s prime shopping districts is a victim of its own success, as retailers can’t afford the rents and landlords can’t afford to lower them.

The rents may come down.

From Kabul to Baghdad, My Bird’s-Eye

A five-nation tour offered a close look at the war on terror and disturbing context for Trump’s plans for Afghanistan.

We will make an ignominious exit in about six years if Trump serves four or less years.

Trump's base will demand nothing less than victory.
