What to Cook This Weekend
Several ways to make grilled pizza, and recipes to celebrate asparagus and chicken."We close today with wise words from Jacques Pépin, who was on PBS recently to declaim a truth about recipes, which is that it is far more important to understand what it is the instructions are telling you than to follow the recipe exactly. Of course you should follow a recipe closely the first time you make it. After that, however, let experience rather than fealty be your guide. Make each recipe your own."
Work at Pratt continues.

Can the Flint Prosecutions Succeed?
It is not clear that criminal charges filed against officials in the water contamination scandal will stick.The problem is the Republican party as personified by Governor Rick Snyder is responsible for the lead disaster in Flint.
The prosecution of a few officials are "red herrings" to distract the voters.
"We
should not lose sight of the fact, however, that not every disaster can
be prosecuted, and accountability does not always mean someone goes to
jail.
There
may be enough evidence to justify the criminal charges, which would
help heal a community that has suffered so much. On the other hand, it
is possible that the best we can hope for is that the government
officials involved in the Flint debacle — including Governor Snyder —
will lose their jobs."

"An investigation by the carmaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that drivers were leaving their vehicles without shifting the transmission into the “park” position when the engine was running. According to Fiat Chrysler, the drivers were unaware of how to properly use electronically controlled shift levers."

The Upshot
Rich People Are Living Longer. That’s Tilting Social Security in Their Favor.
Because different groups of people have different life expectancies, some receive more value from the taxes they and their employers pay into the system.Neil Irwin should stop whining.
Government old age insurance needs to work.
Forty seven percent of the population depend on it.

F.B.I. Says Killing Man Was Justified, but Not Shooting His Tire
