"The first chapters examine Mr. Trump’s grandmother, Elisabeth Christ Trump, a German immigrant who raised her children in isolation from her homeland. She Americanized the spelling of her name to Elizabeth, and used her husband’s inheritance to incorporate the real estate company that would come to be known as the Trump Organization — a fact that, Ms. Burleigh argues in the book, was disputed and ultimately erased from history with help from her grandson, who gave all credit to his father, Fred.
Next comes Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, the fisherman’s daughter from a Scottish village whose past as a maid in the 64-room Carnegie Mansion Ms. Burleigh uncovered in census files at the New York Public Library. That brush with New York high society, Ms. Burleigh writes, engendered an outsider’s love of ceremony and pomp inherited by Mrs. Trump’s fourth child, the future president of the United States."

They attempted to immigrate, but could not due to Frederick's having fled mandatory military service years earlier.[9]
They conceived their first son, and returned to New York upon the SS Pennsylvania on July 1, 1905. Frederick Christ Trump was born in the Bronx on October 11, 1905.[10] Trump was one of three children of German Lutheran immigrants Elizabeth (née Christ) and Frederick Trump. He had a younger brother John and an older sister Elizabeth Trump Walters (1904–1961)."

Adult lactose tolerance.

"“There are often many layers of uncertainties in our findings,” said Anna Di Rienzo, a human genetics professor at the University of Chicago. “Being able to communicate that level of uncertainty to a public that often just sees things in black and white is very, very difficult.”
As a step toward changing that, Dr. Di Rienzo has helped organize a meeting of social scientists, geneticists and journalists at Harvard next week to discuss the social implications of the field’s newest tools.
Participants have been promised that the meeting will be restricted to some three-dozen invitees and that any remarks made there will be confidential.
And David L. Nelson, a Baylor College of Medicine geneticist who is president of the human genetics society, says it will not stay completely quiet on the issue, promising a statement later this week.
There is no genetic evidence to support any racist ideology,” he said."

Let the Republicans burn with a gem like flame of purity.
I am happy with the foggily defined progressive coalition found on the left side of the aisle.

The treaty has not been modified by the negotiated process.
I suspect that the initiation of the process has been blocked by the Republican party.

"Under the proposal, drug companies would have to disclose price information “in a legible textual statement” at the end of each TV ad. The statement would have to appear on the screen long enough, in large enough type, so that it could easily be read.
The proposed rule would carry out ideas set forth in May in Mr. Trump’s blueprint to lower drug prices, but it is a sharp departure from his usual efforts to promote market-based solutions and slash federal regulations."

The Republican party is in trouble with the electorate.
