  1. David Leonhardt

    Big Soda’s Well-Deserved Losing Streak 

    I approve of sugar taxes. 


  2. Trilobites

    Who First Farmed Potatoes? Archaeologists in Andes Find New Evidence 

     The new evidence confirms old opinions. 


  3. The Upshot

    With Trump, Investors See Profits Again in For-Profit Colleges 

    Investors are "seeing things". 


  4. Social Q’s

    Dumped Moms, Gun-Toting Guests: It’s Thanksgiving 

    Let it be.  Family is important. 


  5. Op-Ed Contributor

    Appalachia’s Sacrifice 

    Coal mining  does not pay the miners.
    The mine builds the town to house the miners.
    It is not an investment to the mine. It is an expense. 
    Expenses are minimized.


  6. A Mother Tried to Escape Gangs. Bullets Found Her Daughter. 

    Rugby football. The Foreign Legion is a traditional solution.


  7. National Security Agency Said to Use Manhattan Tower as Listening Post 

    AT&T Long Lines owns and operates the internet backbone.  The "pipes" that carry interstate and international communications in the U.S.
    AT&T speaks very carefully.  
    Direct access and control are not necessary for listening to traffic.
  8. Megyn Kelly’s Book Sheds New Light on Fox Inquiry Into Roger Ailes 

    Yes.

    I am not happy with Fox News.

     
  9. A Little House in the Big Woods 

    I have not gone in that direction. 

  10. A Souvenir Smuggled Home From Cuba: A Cancer Vaccine 

    Do what works.       I do not need this vaccine.

    "Some American patients have a new worry: that when Donald J. Trump, the president-elect, takes office, he might crack down on Cuba and make it more difficult for patients to travel there. But Mick Phillips does not seem worried.
    “I think we’re going to be O.K.,” he said. “Trump may do a lot of things, but I don’t think he’s into preventing people from being able to live.”"

    Trump must be taken at his word.
