An Arkansas Prison Escapee Is Captured After 32 Years

The police said a tip led them on Sunday to a home in Springdale, Ark., where they peacefully took the 60-year-old man into custody.

Paper does not forget.

There are no warrants for my arrest.

N.B.A. All-Rookie Team Includes Four Foreign-Born Players

Dario Saric and Malcolm Brogdon were unanimous selections to the first team.

Sanity probably prevails.

The Solution for Skin Ailments Could Be Right Under Your Nose

While bacteria has long been associated with disorders like acne and eczema, scientists are now fighting back with friendly members of the skin’s microbiome.

Probiotics are a promising area.

Corey Powell, Michael Bastedo

The grooms work at the University of Michigan, Mr. Powell as a statistics and analytics research consultant, Mr. Bastedo as an education professor.

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

Revered and Feared in the Book Review

Marilyn Stasio, the Crime columnist for The Times Book Review, has always gravitated to darkness.

She finds the stories I want to know.
The rest does not matter.

At Cannes, the Great Gusher of Content Comes With Warning Signs

The hottest ticket is your eyeballs, and every content creator and distributor wants them. Can the worst consequences be forestalled?

Limited attention is having an impact.
Physical community is still where people live.

Whether High Praise or Low Blow, Take It With a Grain of Salt

Critiques may sting or buoy, and we tend to average them out to distill a truth. But each critic may be wholly right in his own perspective, so we oughtn’t put too much stock in any one.

Personal relationships are not public.
I am not thinking for publication.

The Upshot

Why Strong Turnout Was Not Enough for Democrats in Georgia

The recent special election in the sixth district had big spending, lots of national attention and turnout that would be hard to improve on. What are the lessons here?

Turning off the opposition is as important as turning out ones partisans.
More real pain is required.

Amazon-Whole Foods: A Good Deal?

“These two innovators will merge the ideals of conscious capitalism and wicked efficiency,” one reader says. Others are less enthusiastic.

Amazon is destructive of physical community.
Whole Foods is less destructive.

Fire May Be the Only Remedy for a Plague Killing Deer and Elk

Deer and elk are dying from chronic wasting disease in growing numbers. Burning the land may be the only way to turn back the disease.

It is a classic plague.

Test burning. 
I don't expect it to work.
Culling will not be effective.
Preditors will become victims.

Population crashes appear inevitable.

Look for a microbe that consumes prion material.
It must exist or there would be no large herbivores.
