London Jogger Suspected of Shoving Woman Into Bus’s Path Is Arrested

Widely shared surveillance video of the encounter, on Putney Bridge in the southwest of the capital, yielded tips to the police.

Crimes are actions
Misogyny is not a crime in itself.

How Do I Get Invited to My Boyfriend’s Thanksgiving?

Also, an annoyingly self-deprecating co-worker, a constantly canceling sister-in-law, and a young neighbor defying gender norms (or just playing).

A phonecall
would bring me to a meeting that is just a meeting.
I would drive.

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

Twenty Years of ‘Marital Blitz’

“Happily-ever-after doesn’t exist,” Suki John says. But resilience and realism will get you through.

Talk to me.

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

Philippa Gregory: By the Book

The author of “The Last Tudor” is no fan of “sloppy genre novels”: “The typing alone is so exhausting — surely if you’re going to undertake 150,000 words, you might as well have something interesting to say?”

I would read her book on Elizabeth I.   “The Last Tudor”

Opinion

Donald Trump Is the Godfather of a Democratic Renaissance

Party strategists and emboldened neophytes are trying to seize the grass roots from the Republican Party.

The Democratic Party always fights at primary elections.
It mostly does not matter.
The Democratic voters try to elect the winner.

Another Subway Woe: Cuomo Says Power Distribution Must be Overhauled

Power-related issues were responsible for 32,000 delays over the past year. Con Edison and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority plan a top-to-bottom review.

The state must kick in more subsidy to a reconstructed board of directors.

Magazine

Who’s Afraid of Claire Messud?

The novelist’s characters have been called “difficult women.” She would say they are simply women with desires.

I would not Volunteer.

Books

The Man Who Ran the Country While Lincoln Lay Dying

Walter Stahr’s “Stanton” is a sympathetic treatment of the war secretary Edwin Stanton, a man once accused of complicity in Lincoln’s assassination.

There are other things I want to read first.

I am not sure what.

Very possibly Philippa Gregory.
