Help for Sick Airmen

The Air Force surgeon general says the service “completed a data review and adjusted the radiation dose methodology” for servicemen exposed in 1966.

The change is not explained.
It will not hurt those involved in the 1966 crash cleanup to apply to the V.A.

Eliminate Aid for For-Profit Colleges

A reader says the “best way to protect students from bad and predatory colleges” is to give financial aid only for public and nonprofit colleges.

Sophistry has not been considered respectable.

Public Burials in New York

An advocate writes that “agreeing to a public burial should not mean that anything can happen in transit.”
When permission for public burial is given the city has permission to dispose of the body as it sees fit.  Medical dissection is only a step along the way.

Hart Island as a final resting place is free lodging.

Who Gets the Subsidized Apartments?

A special provision for artists means fewer low-income families are served, and it also, a study suggests, contributes to racial segregation.

The local authorities are taking advantage of a loophole in the rules.
The other assumption is that funds are limited.
Fix the economic devastation.
