The F.D.A. approval clears the way for the first genetically altered animal to enter the American food supply, despite opposition from consumer and environmental groups.I like the idea of cheap salmon.

The Upshot
Urban Charter Schools Often Succeed. Suburban Ones Often Don’t.
Studies show the schools benefit poor, nonwhite students in cities, but in suburbs they do no better than public schools, and sometimes worse.The lottery does not correct selection bias.
It is held among a pool of highly motivated parents.

Obama Administration Asks Supreme Court to Save Immigration Plan

Tackling the Homeless Crisis, Without Mr. Cuomo
The ill will between Mayor Bill de Blasio and the governor makes it harder to find a solution to homelessness in New York City.A solution is impossible.
The attempt is necessary.

Port Authority Leader to Quit as C.E.O. Search Drags On
Patrick J. Foye, the executive director, who drew attention to a scheme to tie up traffic at the George Washington Bridge, said he had waited long enough to find out if he would effectively be replaced.I hoped Chris Christie would leave office early and in disgrace.

End of ‘Death Panels’ Myth Brings New End-of-Life Challenges
Medicare has decided to pay physicians to discuss end-of-life care with patients. But it’s not clear that doctors are prepared for the task.Like so many things, the time is not yet.
I would like to die at home many years from now.

China Insists to U.N. That It’s Combating Torture
Human rights advocates listened with a mixture of incredulity and derision to the delegation’s responses on interrogation.China is a sovereign nation.
It has no obligation to meet international standards.
Truth in China is what the authorities say it is.
Truth outside China may have some relation to facts.
It would not be diplomatic to tell the Chinese that truth does not change at national borders.
It will take armed force to impose that idea.
The idea has little international popularity.
