Shopping for Multilevel Coffee Tables

A coffee table doesn’t have to be a static object in the center of the living room — with multiple surfaces, it can add function and enliven a space.

People do not grow to fit the house.
The house must fit its people.

Think hermit crabs.

Americans Aren’t Centrist on Economics

They’re deeply progressive. And it’s time that politicians listened.

Most object to things as they are.
Ignorance is nurtured.

M.T.A. Pins Its Hopes on Unproven Technology to Fix Subway

Subway officials hope ultra-wideband radio will help modernize the signal system, but the technology has not been used on a major transit system.

Modern does not matter.
Effective is the goal.

California, Coffee and Cancer: One of These Doesn’t Belong

A judge’s ruling on warning labels for coffee isn’t backed by evidence and could do more harm than good.

The battle against regulation continues.
One tool used against regulation is over regulation.
