A Texas Woman ‘Voted Like a U.S. Citizen.’ Only She Wasn’t.

Rosa Maria Ortega, a permanent resident with a green card, was sentenced to eight years in prison for illegally voting. She is appealing, but she may face more legal problems.

Big City Book Club Returns With Paul Auster’s ‘4321’

Mr. Auster will be joining us for a live online discussion of his new best-selling novel, “4321,” on April 20 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time.

The number of possible futures is infinite.

This is a novel of a tightly selected set of variables.
The probability of a past event is unity.

People have limited control of the future.
Begin.
Sooner is better.     As soon as you can is best.

For Refugee Agencies, a Court Stay Only Adds to the Confusion

Groups laid off employees and cut budgets in expectation of a halt to resettlement. Now, with an executive order blocked, they are not sure what to expect.

The presidential order is having the desired effect.
