Melania Trump Returns to the Border, This Time Without Subtext

Mrs. Trump’s trip to Arizona on Thursday was her first public appearance since her visit to Texas was marred by her decision to wear a jacket that said, “I REALLY DON’T CARE. DO U?”

Donald Trump's political advisers managed to instruct Melania Trump.

Captured on Video, Jogger Is Elusive After Pushing Woman Into Traffic

The identity of the man who shoved a 33-year-old pedestrian into the path of a bus will probably remain a mystery, as the authorities said all leads had been exhausted.

Britain suffers from aristocratic privelege.

She Knows How to Make an Exit. You’re Reading It.

A New York Times obituary writer for 14 years, Margalit Fox takes a crack at her own epitaph.

"I have also had — it is much-needed leavening — the delicious, often downright campy pleasure of telling the stories of people who cast the form of midcentury material culture. Among my favorites is the wonderfully named Massachusetts sculptor Don Featherstone, who, be he saint or sinner, shaped the postwar suburban landscape by inventing the lawn flamingo."

I hope you are following her example.

I must learn the use of the semicolon.

Donald Trump claims to need no help.

I will rent, short term.
