What to Cook This Week

Prepare yourself for Halloween on Tuesday, and then indulge with a chickpea tagine or salmon with anchovy-garlic butter.

The time is there.
My attention is taken.

Too Many Colleges Flunk Trump 101

The 2016 election is forcing campuses to examine their dangerous estrangement.

Most conservatives are demonstrably wrong.

Inculcating error is evil.

As a democracy without inherited rank the population must advance together as a unit but not as a structure.
Some will do better than others.

Who Deserves a Ticker-Tape Parade?

There are many heroes that merit this honor.

Ticker tape is no longer used.
Ticker tape parades, like stock prices, should be virtual.

Heroism is real and rare.

At School Where Student Died, Bullying Led to a Suicide Attempt

At Wildlife Conservation, where a teen who says he was bullied killed a fellow student, a boy says he was tormented and administrators failed to act.

It is not the specific school.
It is the nature of children.
Children self organize into tribes.
We call them gangs.

In Katherine Rundell’s “The Explorer,” four kids must find their way out of the jungle after a plane crash, stoking young readers’ dreams and anxieties: What if there were no parents? Could I eat a grub if I had to?

I suppose there is always a need for another wild child story.

Yes, I Really Am in This Beauty Pageant

As an underdog in a contest with no talent portion, I knew I would have to work hard to stand out.

Adventure is where you find it.

Amazon Key Is a Lot Less Scary Than My Post-1-Click Remorse

The ghosts of the sneakers I didn’t buy are following me around the World Wide Web! An in-store purchase is more satisfying, studies confirm.

Use the product before you buy.
Shoe stores let one try them in the store.
