New in Memoir: Lessons in Falling in Love, and 2 Accounts of Its Horrors

Three books trace the highs and the (very) lows of love and marriage, says our memoir columnist, Meghan Daum.

"Aren’t all life partners also lifelong patients in a sense? The work of a long-term committed relationship is essentially the work of keeping someone alive in the ways necessary to ensure that you’re kept alive in return. That’s a pretty heavy lift — and no two couples carry quite the same load — but it’s still nice work if you can get it. And a small miracle if you can get it right even 50 percent of the time."

The Underwoods Are Horribly Depressed

The equanimity of a summer in Woodstock is upended when Claire and Frank Underwood arrive in a funk, now that “House of Cards” is no longer outrageous.

Clair should model herself on Aria Stark.
Poking people with the sharp end will get Clair talked about.

Eerie Parallels Between John McCain and Edward Kennedy

Once again, in the middle of contentious health care deliberations, a larger-than-life figure in the Senate has learned he has brain cancer.

Coincidence.

The president of the ride-hailing service says that sometimes leaders have to let people make mistakes and not always be there for them.

He makes it work.

An Instant Way to Bolster Flavor

Miso imbues everything it touches with a sweet, salty, nutty complexity.

I can do that.

Alex, We’ll Take ‘To Have and to Hold’ for $1,000

For two teachers in a “Jeopardy” tournament, the real prize comes nearly four years after meeting at the show.

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

Lyft to Develop Self-Driving Car Technology in New Silicon Valley Facility

The ride-hailing company is opening a research center in Palo Alto, Calif., and plans to collaborate with automakers and tech companies.

There is a market.  
I have not found it.

Drones maybe.
