Slavery and Place Names, at Yale and Elsewhere
Rather than change place names that commemorate slaveholders, a reader says, we should include signage that offers a history lesson.Leave the names.
Their deeds will be remembered.
The defenders of slavery should be remembered as such.

The case of a corrections officer who injured an inmate and lied about it, but who an arbitrator found could return to work after a 120-day suspension, illustrates a broader problem.The guard is guilty.
Jail time would be a death sentence.
Firing and a stiff fine will have to do.

New Dinosaur Species That Lived Above Arctic Circle Discovered
A duck-billed plant eater that lived 69 million years ago provides further evidence that a much warmer Alaska had its own community of dinosaurs.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift
http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/historical.html
At 65million years ago it looks like Alaska was a coast of the Pacific basin.
"The climate when U. kuukpikensis flourished was much warmer than today, with average temperatures in the low 40s."
Maritime, Kelp forest? High temperate rain forest?

Throwing the Book, Several Tons of It, at Brazil’s Tax Code

Opinion
The Need for an Accountable Border Patrol
A number of cases raise questions about agents’ use of violence, and justify renewed calls for greater transparency from the agency.The border patrol should not be armed.
Murders of patrol agents can be pursued by police officers.
Drug enforcement is another matter. They can be made responsible for drug crimes only.
Mexicans are not Pancho Villa or his troops.
