The New York City Subway Map as You’ve Never Seen It Before

The city has changed drastically over the past 40 years, yet the M.T.A. map designed in 1979 has largely endured.

One must look.
little track has been added since 1920.
There is the new Third avenue line
and the lost Myrtle Avenue Elevated.

Stabbings Around London Bridge Kill 2 in ‘Terrorist Incident’

The authorities said that several people were stabbed, two fatally, and that the police shot and killed a man who appeared to have been wearing “a hoax explosive device.”

Islam learned from the Irish.

The Case for Bernie

The Democrats need a unifier. It could be the Vermont Socialist.

Trivial.

Winter Storm Expected to Disrupt Travel Starting Sunday

Travelers headed home after Thanksgiving are likely to face flight delays and treacherous roads, forecasters said.

That storm is out to sea.

I am having an "Alberta Clipper".

Cambridge N.Y. takes snow in stride.

Business

Jeffrey Epstein, Blackmail and a Lucrative ‘Hot List’

A shadowy hacker claimed to have the financier’s sex tapes. Two top lawyers wondered: What would the men in those videos pay to keep them secret?

Privacy is important for everyone.
Extortion is criminal.
Extortion does not mix well with justice though it is essential to debt collection.

How Black Voters Could Help Biden Win the Democratic Nomination

An overwhelming majority of delegates are at stake in states more racially diverse than Iowa and New Hampshire.

Biden is suspected of racism.
That thought will escape his campaign's control.

Health

A Change in Medicare Has Therapists Alarmed

Medicare revamped its reimbursement policy for physical, occupational and speech therapy in nursing homes. That has left some patients with less help.

The Republican party labels entitlements as Socialist.
It would remove entitlements as not Capitalist.
They are a substitute for Charity that does not demand religious affiliation.

Society without Charity was found wanting.

New York

Real Estate Thought It Was Invincible in New York. It Wasn’t.

How the industry that ruled the city plans to rebound after a rough year.

Real Estate still rules in spite of regulation.
New small businesses are the exception.

Prime Mover: How Amazon Wove Itself Into the Life of an American City

For most people, it’s the click that brings a package to their door. But a look at Baltimore shows how Amazon may now reach into Americans’ daily existence in more ways than any corporation in history.

Amazon is intentionally destructive to cities.

Beacon High School Is Half White. That’s Why Students Walked Out.

More than 300 students at the selective public high school, one of New York City’s most prestigious, protested its admissions policies.

Color of skin is not a qualification for privilege.

Another method must be found.

Equality is the only possible reparation.
