Prince Philip Makes His Last Solo Appearance, After 65 Years in the Public Eye

Married to Queen Elizabeth II for nearly 70 years, the Duke of Edinburgh is retiring from most official engagements.

Life does not go on forever.

Food

The Best Grilled Cheese

Add a little flourish to a classic — a bit of leftover chicken, pork or steak, maybe a fried egg — and settle in for a simple summer meal.

Often.

Well

Maternal Instinct, or O.C.D.?

Where is the line between normal parental instinct — that natural drive to keep our children safe — and true mental disorder?

Being a mom interferes with the rest of life.
When being a mom threatens living a fix is called for.

Movies

What’s So Hard About Casting Indian Actors in Indian Roles?

Taylor Sheridan told his casting directors on “Wind River” to vet the ancestry of performers auditioning for Native American roles in the drama.

Reality tends to intrude on the fantasy.

Trump Supports Bill Basing Immigration on Skills and Employability

Two Republican senators visited the White House to introduce their legislation, which some critics said would keep out badly needed low-wage workers.

These are low wage workers.
Their employment is a form of publication.
The "edge" Trump wants to protect is methods to get the creators of new works paid for their efforts.
These workers under the terms of their visas will have to go elsewhere to do creative work.

Homeland Security to Bypass Environmental Laws in Border Wall Work

The Department of Homeland Security will invoke waivers to environmental laws when it begins construction of border wall prototypes near San Diego.

Border wall work is destructive of environmental concerns.

Food

A New Kind of Sichuan Restaurant for New York

In downtown Flushing, Queens, Guan Fu Sichuan shows off the rich variety of flavors beyond the familiar blast of chiles.

Luxury is a concern for appearances in the building.
The cooks have their patrons attention.
Their problem is to keep the attention on the food.

It is the classic problem of a restaurant operation.
A restaurant sells wine in addition to food.

Don’t Insult Jimmy Carter by Comparing Donald Trump to Him

A former adviser to Mr. Carter lists his accomplishments, from energy bills to ethics rules to standing up for human rights.

Jimmy Carter deserves defenders.

China’s Trophy Case of Deals Could Become a Discount Rack

It is unclear how aggressively Beijing will rein in acquisitions. Still, bargain-hunters will benefit from any selling spree by Chinese companies.

These are Chinese because the funds are borrowed from Chinese banks.

Interest rates in China are rising.

Owner of Rentboy.com Is Sentenced to 6 Months in Prison

At a hearing in Brooklyn, the judge was sympathetic to the plight of the website owner, Jeffrey Hurant, saying he did “a lot of good” for the gay community.

Economics is necessary but not sufficient.

The master / servant relationship is not a domestic partnership.

The Rentboy business will persist. 
The names are changing.

It is not a business I will accept a share of.
