Haunted by a Father’s Affairs

A reader’s romantic life is hampered by the fear that a partner, who won’t cut ties with his ex, will be unfaithful.

I don't call her.  I want to hear a voice that is not related or work.

A Shoe for Every City Type

From Chelsea boots to lace-up shoes and sneakers — something for everyone.

Go to Wallmart and Amazon.

When the Rich Said No to Getting Richer

With President Trump and Congress turning to tax policy, it’s worth revisiting a story about wealth from another era.

Everyone should share in the wealth created.

The Upshot

The Real Reason the U.S. Has Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance

More an accident of history than anything else, a product of World War II and tax policy, it is the system we seem to be stuck with.

Change tax policy to change the health insurance system.

Why Can’t We Get Cities Right?

Caught between rampant development and NIMBYism.

Cities are governed by the powerful.
That means the wealthy and the strivers.

He Visited the Catskills and Decided to Stay

A decision to become an entrepreneur led a Brooklynite to the Catskills, where he now rents a cabin for half of what he paid in Williamsburg.

Owning is necessarily cheaper than renting.
One is not paying the owner a profit.

Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, Expecting 3rd Child

The couple already have two children, George, 4, and Charlotte, 2.

It must be love rather than duty.

Americans Are Confronting an Alarming Question: Are Many of Our Fellow Citizens ‘Nazis?’

For decades, we talked about Nazis mostly in analogies, jokes and caricatures. Now we’re debating whether it’s a fair word for describing a good number of our neighbors.

Naziism was the German state religion.

America has very few believers in the old German state religion.   Many of the Nazi beliefs are native to the U.S.
Those beliefs have been gathered under the Nazi label and brand.  The banner has found followers here.
They are not for the most part believers in Adolf Hitler.
So yes and no.

‘Class Mom’ Casts a Satirical Lens on So-Called Perfect Parents

Laurie Gelman’s debut novel, “Class Mom,” is told from the comically cynical point of view of a former ’90s wild child turned suburban mother.

Parents can be problems.

The job goes beyond pouring at tea.

Why Does a Co-Op Ban Some Locks on Bedroom Doors?

The rule complies with city and state fire safety and occupancy laws.

Ok  Dead bolts and push buttons only.

Fire safety is serious.
