My Platonic Romance on the Psych Ward

A patient with mania was told that nobody forms lasting friendships in a psychiatric hospital, but she adored her roommate too much to listen.

Hope can be found.

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

We can skip most of "Chicago".

The Learning Network

What Did You Read, Watch or Listen to in The Times This Week?

A place for teenagers to engage with the news. Tell us what got your attention and why.

The reporting on the process of disaster is wanting.

Opinion

Don’t Shun Conservative Professors

Welcoming the stranger is one of the great moral traditions liberals have.

Often the way to deal with an immediate  problem is to change nothing.
Future problems require thought and planning and imediate
action.
Such behavior is not conservative.
University is preparation to deal with future problems.
Shun the drive for the past.

In Our Prison on the Sea

Remembering the early years at Guantánamo Bay.

Arabs are supposed to know Ptolemaic astronomy.
looking a little south of sunrise is the direction of Mecca
from Guantanamo, Cuba.  The sea is south of Guantanamo Bay.

Politicians, Promises, and Getting Real

How much does clarity about policy matter?

"The point is that while unrealistic promises may not hurt you in elections, they can become a big problem when you try to govern. Having a vision for the future is good, but being real about the difficulties is also good. Democrats, take heed."

In Amish Country, the Future Is Calling

Some members of the famously tech-shunning sect have begun to incorporate cellphones and computers into their lives, raising unique questions about the balance between work and home.

Some will leave the community.

ISIS is an attempt to resist these forces.

A Booming Church and Its Complicated, Ugly Past

Zarephath Christian Church is a dynamic evangelical congregation. But perhaps it’s best not to mention the sect’s fiery founder who embraced the K.K.K.

It is no worse than other Churches.  Some are better than others. 
None should play politics.
Their members can follow their institutional rules.
Nonmembers cannot be required to follow those rules.

The Upshot

The Minuscule Importance of Manufacturing in Far-Right Politics

In both the United States and Europe, far-right voters are far more likely to express concerns about immigration and race than trade.

Manufacturing is more skilled than it was.
As productivity rose skills rose.

Outside of construction there is little low skilled work.
