A Few Miles From San Bernardino, a Muslim Prom Queen Reigns

Zarifeh Shalabi received the ultimate symbol of teenage acceptance when her non-Muslim friends campaigned for her by wearing hijabs in solidarity.

Islam is changing in the U.S.
So is some of traditional Christianity.
Church and state are and should be separate.

It Takes a Village to Make Sushi

When a couple bought a nice piece of tuna without knowing how to prepare it, their search led to a locksmith, and then a butcher.

It always has.
The maker does not grow and mill the rice or catch the fish.
I do sharpen knives.

The magazine’s Ethicist columnist on whether to reveal someone’s H.I.V. status, and when it’s O.K. to accept money from a company with practices you don’t respect.

I agree with Mr Appiah.

Kushikatsu, takoyaki, okonomiyaki and potentially toxic pufferfish, all on a budget.

A Laboratory for Interfaith Studies in Pennsylvania Dutch Country

Elizabethtown College, an unassuming dot on the intellectual landscape, has become the nation’s beta tester in the emerging field of interfaith studies.

Interfaith relations have been those of conflict.
A goal and duty of faiths is the capture of believers.
Any resolution of the conflicts of "Revealed Truth" are outside faith.

I do not know how to impose civil law but by force of arms suppressing overt actions.

Baltimore Officer Shoots Boy Who Police Say Had Replica Gun

The police commissioner said the boy, 13, was expected to survive the shooting, which occurred on the first anniversary of the funeral of Freddie Gray.

Carrying the appearance of a gun gives the police the right to shoot first.
A uniform offers only slight protection.
Such is the state of our civilization.

Aid in Dying: A Good or a Harm?

Advocates on both sides of the issue respond.

Living is always a choice.

To force a person to live after they have chosen to die is an act of torture.
To assist in a chosen death must be an individual choice.

Death comes to all.

Review: Hyundai Elantra Offers Fewer Curves, but a Better Ride

The 2017 model addresses problems with steering, road noise and a lack of structure in its 2016 counterpart.

The Koreans are still learning.
Give them a few more years.
I am not enthusiastic about cars.

Brooklyn Teenagers Capture a Photographer’s Eye

Cassandra Giraldo began studying the youngsters’ world five years ago, concentrating on how they spent the time between school and home.

I listened to the Parsons model agent recruiting a model one noon.
It was a seduction.
The relationship is sexual though not consummated.

Kim Dong-chul is the latest United States citizen to receive a harsh sentence in North Korea, which often uses the fates of held Americans as leverage.

A Mine vs. a Million Monarchs

A Mexican conglomerate wants to revive mining in a protected reserve for monarch butterflies.

My choice would be to protect the butterflies.
Negotiate a payoff with the miners.
They had free reign for centuries and closed the mine as exhausted.
