Well

Can Being Cold Make You Sick?

A reader asks: Can you get sick just from sitting in an overly air-conditioned room or going out without a jacket? Or do you need to actually catch a virus?

Almost no.  There is a small correlation.

Opinion

On the Gun Debate

The shooting in Parkland, Fla., has reignited debates about legal priorities in America.

Point taken.

I can fuss about the iconography.

Nanny Case is a Parent’s Nightmare, Too Horrifying to See Up Close

A best-selling French novel based on the story of a nanny accused of killing two children offers a picture of motherhood that may be too close to home.

I don't want to explore the questions.
The book, A Perfect Nanny, is not selling well in the U.S.

Business Day

Sunroofs Are Growing in Size and Popularity. Rules Haven’t Kept Up.

More buyers are ticking the sunroof option box, and carmakers in search of an open-air feeling are making them bigger. Safety advocates see a problem.

Five point restraints.

Well

My Big Sister, the Wild One

Missy possesses an openness, a willingness to dive right in and live in the moment, while I find it hard to get out of my own head.

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

World

An Embassy, 850 Pounds of Cocaine and Now 6 Arrests

The 14-month investigation was triggered by the discovery of $60 million of cocaine at the Russian Embassy in Argentina.

Messy.

How John Leguizamo, Actor, Spends His Sundays

Mr. Leguizamo hits the stage much earlier than he thinks is natural, so he gives himself plenty of time before and after his show to warm up and unwind.

The producers hire him.

Science

The Chambered Nautilus Is the Ocean’s Most Efficient Jet Engine

Moving through the deep seas with jets of water uses much more energy than swimming with fins, but this shellfish has found a way to make it work very well.

A report of a small paper.

Another bit:

Watching

How Much Watching Time Do You Have This Weekend?

Activist theater, a superhero spoof and a new series with a superhero pedigree: Options? You bet.

Probably not.
