As S.U.V.s Take Over, New Camry Gets a Quiet Greeting

An all-new Camry used to be a momentous event for the industry. Not so much anymore.

A small car is plenty.  A small truck is slightly better.
Maybe in the fall.

With a Major Oil Discovery, Guyana Is Poised to Become a Top Producer

Exxon Mobil and Hess may soon confirm that the sea floor beneath the South American country’s coastal waters contains one of the richest energy discoveries in decades.

The retail price of gas will not fall.
I do not expect a carbon tax in the U.S.

Comey Letter on Clinton Email Is Subject of Justice Dept. Inquiry

The inspector general will look into James B. Comey’s hotly debated decision to inform Congress days before the election about a new review of the case.

Comey is probably a dupe.

He will get no respect from the Trump administration.

Trump Promises Fast Action on Supreme Court Nomination

In a strong indication that his main priority remains choosing an unwavering conservative, he thanked leaders of two leading conservative groups for their help vetting candidates.

A federal judge put Pasadena, Tex., under federal oversight after finding that city officials had discriminated against Latino voters. But an appeal is expected.

The Latino voters should win.
The Republican Supreme Court will make that doubtful.

I Abstained From Sex for a Year to Donate Blood

The F.D.A.’s policy for men who have sex with men is outdated and should be rescinded.

Rationality must dominate.

Raw Telexes to the Times Home Office From a Civil War Zone

“We’re bracing for the invasion tonight. I’ll be on the roof of the cbs compound attempting to keep the radio link open.” Could this be 1992? Yes, if you’re in Somalia.

Much internal business.
A lonely technician.

Ride-Hailing Drivers Are Slaves to the Surge

The be-your-own-boss promises of Uber, Lyft and other services came with a steep downside.

There is no easy way to earn in an oversupplied market.
