The Upshot
For Bad Backs, It’s Time to Rethink Biases About Chiropractors
Spinal manipulation and other therapies seem at least as effective and safe as more traditional treatment.It is hard for M.D.s to admit that Chiropractic works for the treatment of lower back pain, the problem for which it was invented.
Other uses of Chiropractic appear to be quackery.

How the Left Learned to Hate Like the Right
Liberals are discovering what conservatives have known for years: Negative energy is a powerful force."For decades, Democrats have envied the Republicans’ passionate, locally attuned base. It turns out that what Democrats were missing was a sense of existential emergency. Mr. Trump has provided it."
Liberalism, what remains of the left after a century of attempted extirpation, has awakened.
The liberal coalition must find a national voice and build national as well as state and local power.
There is little time to do so.
Infighting must be discouraged.

Mr. Trump Goes to Washington
“The dysfunction in this White House,” a Republican who deals regularly with the Trump administration told me, “just knows no bounds.”"What troubles many of us who have devoted much of our lives to politics is that we have a president who doesn’t believe in the higher purpose of his office, which is grounded in the conviction that governing well can advance the human good. There are many things for which Mr. Trump will finally have to answer. My guess is that his daily denigration of politics and governing will be right near the top."
The destruction of "The Administrative State" is a stated Trump goal.

The traffic is a bit better going north.
The approaches are incomplete.
