Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

One Woman’s Crusade for Her Late Husband’s Sperm

“We always knew we’d have to use I.V.F. so the embryos could be tested for Marfan, which has a 50-50 chance of being inherited. But we thought we had time.”

Dr. Peyman Saadat should be in regulatory shutdown.

He is in a filter business and a safe deposit business.
He is doing neither of these businesses.

Clutter Is in the Eye of the Beholder

Is the “magic house” cluttered, or not?

I am going to downsize. 
What part of life should I trash?

Homes for Sale in Brooklyn and Manhattan

This week’s properties are in Chelsea, on the Upper West Side and in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Different clutter.

Opinion

Fathers as Caregivers

Readers discuss a letter about the critical role that fathers play in parenting and how to remove stigmas and promote equity.

Parenting is not gender specific.
Childbearing is gender specific.

Keeping New York Dogs Cool as the City Heats Up

Advice varies from the practical (carry water when you walk them) to odd (goat-milk Popsicles and tiny shoes for their paws).

People try to care for their dogs.
Dogs do well in Central Asia, Africa and Australia.
Shade and water with limited activity seem to be enough.

A Second Mississippi Novel by Brad Watson

Brad Watson’s “Miss Jane” imagines the ways a real woman with a birth defect insisted on her humanity in the old South.

I would have a tough time building this tale.

Fancy Swimming Pools as Building Perks

Pools in some new apartment buildings have been elevated from their usual basement locations or embellished with high-end finishes.

Yes.

Amanda Posner, Benjamin Neumann

The couple met at a birthday party in August 2011 in Oakland, Calif.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

A Debut Novel Traces a Woman’s Life in Solitude

The linked vignettes in Claire-Louise Bennett’s “Pond” trace the streaming thoughts of a solitary woman.

She is dependent on her landlord, the local market, the town water, the gas and the electric and the trash.
Her solitude is in her head.
She has recovered or we would not see these fragments.

Principals Chosen for 2 Troubled Brooklyn High Schools

Boys and Girls High School and Automotive High School, two of New York City’s lowest-performing schools, are part of a turnaround effort by the Education Department.

The schools did appear to work better once.
The problem may be the goal the schools are pursueing.
It may be the timing of the pursuit

Summer Travel and the Zika Virus

Travelers are headed to the Olympics and other destinations where mosquitoes are carrying the infection. Here’s what they should know.

The Zika Virus should cancel the Olympics in Rio.

A Healthier Way to Feed Your Cat: Hide Its Meals

To keep cats from overeating, a veterinarian invented the NoBowl Feeding System, a product that lets them hunt for their food and then play with it.

I have not had a cat here for decades.
I like the menagerie of small animals.

Rules for Dog Owners

Dogs using the service entrance, inaccuracies in listings, and wiring in co-ops.

There is no substitute for due diligence.

Some New York residents must remember standard poodles.

Personality Change May Be Early Sign of Dementia, Experts Say

A new diagnosis, mild behavioral impairment, is being proposed, including a 38-question checklist to one day identify people at greater risk for Alzheimer’s.

I am reasonably sure neither of us is suffering from genetic brain rot.

Margaret Lindsay, Matthew Pietroforte

The couple met while working at an investment banking firm in Manhattan.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

Science

Letters to the Editor

Readers react to articles in Science Times.

Much is known about algae.
The big problem is human and animal waste in the waters.

Science

In Africa, Birds and Humans Form a Unique Honey Hunting Party

Tribesmen and honeyguides share an ancient pact and communicate in trills and grunts, scientists report. The shared goal: beehives full of honey and wax.

Many bees, not many people.

Rio Olympics: Officials Sanction Russian Athletes, but Stop Short of Complete Ban

Individual athletes will have to prove they are innocent of doping before being allowed to compete in Rio.

It is much more embarrassing to be disqualified after wining.  

Sports will be much cleaner.
Opinion

Children and Violence

A social services agency official writes that “the effect of toxic stress on children is sadly emerging from the shadows in light of recent shootings.”

This is a statement of hope rather than fact.
Children know everything and understand little of the future implications.
If children understood there would be no need for youthful offender status.
