Video: Fear and Fury in New Jersey

At a town hall in New Jersey, Representative Tom MacArthur, who is credited with reviving legislation that could repeal the Affordable Care Act, faced hundreds of outraged constituents, who worry they may lose their health care coverage.

Robert H. Phelps, Editor at Times and Boston Globe, Dies at 97

Mr. Phelps missed a scoop on the Watergate scandal but oversaw the coverage in major series on school desegregation and abuses at a transit agency that won Pulitzer Prizes.

I miss his presence on the editorial page.

Two surprisingly close races resulting from the president’s appointments are generating friction between the Trump administration and the party campaign committee.

I will not count on it.
