The Education Department said that students receiving subsidized lunches would be given admissions priority for half the seats at a Brooklyn school that is the subject of a contested rezoning proposal.The mayor's office is not skilled in social engineering.
He must set things up so all the parties get more of what they want.

Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi, who led the 2003 prosecution of John Giuca for the murder of a college student, denied withholding exculpatory evidence from the defense.Jailhouse informers are untrustworthy.

Little-Known Center Puts Up Elite Numbers at a Bargain Price
The Heat’s Hassan Whiteside is having the type of season that should put to rest the notion that last season was a fluke."No longer a diamond in the rough, Whiteside has become a full diamond and is probably the biggest bargain in the N.B.A. Among the top 10 in the N.B.A. in P.E.R., the second-lowest salary is Stephen Curry’s $11,370,786, more than 11 times Whiteside’s $981,348. The average salary of the nine players in the top 10 other than Whiteside is $16.6 million."
Unfortunately it is a package deal.
