What Do I Owe My Sociopathic Sibling?

The magazine’s Ethicist columnist what is due a sibling with a criminal past, what to say to a prospective partner about a grave illness and more.

My siblings shares are set.
The administrator is only doing his duty.

Seek other employment if you wish.
I will need to adjust my plans or not.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds (Sonnet 116)

Let me not to the marriage of true minds   
Admit impediments. Love is not love   
Which alters when it alteration finds,   
Or bends with the remover to remove:   
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, 
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;   
It is the star to every wandering bark,   
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.   
Love ’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks   
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,   
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.   
  If this be error, and upon me prov’d,   
  I never writ, nor no man ever lov’d.

She Was Declared Dead and Moved to the Morgue. Then She Was Heard Breathing.

Badly injured in a car wreck in South Africa, the woman was pronounced dead by an ambulance crew. But she was later found to be alive and moved to a hospital, where she remains in critical condition.

The response was bad and slow.  The police should have stayed on the scene.

In Baby Teeth, Links Between Chemical Exposure in Pregnancy and Autism

The record in teeth may show associations with autism but does not mean that the mother did something to cause the condition, experts say.

People are thinking.
Statistics out of China and India could tell us more if we believed them.

Book sales might be a way past party numbers.
Publish a text on what is known in mandarin and Urdu and watch sales.

Jacqueline Kennedy’s Notes for Dallas Are Found, Starting a Quiet Tug of War

Her packing list for the trip in November 1963 surfaced three years ago. Since then, it has sat at the Kennedy library: unnoticed, unpublicized — and perhaps off-limits.

It is well placed.
