William Howard Taft Is Still Stuck in the Tub
Our heaviest president, born this day in 1857, loved the bath. But it didn’t take six men to wrest his body from it."Fortunately for Taft, history’s a long game, and it’s never too late to set the record straight. So let’s put to rest the bath story, once and for all, and focus on what may be his real tabloid legacy. After all, Taft is credited with saving the Republican Party in 1912. Without him, there might not be a President Donald J. Trump."
That is another fable.
Wilson, a Democrat was elected in 1912.

Why the Skier Mikeala Shiffrin Loves Croatia — and Colorado
She trains in New Zealand and Chile, races in Europe and will compete in the Olympics. To fight fatigue, she naps, jogs and snacks on dried mangoes.Cross country is my preference.

Readers React: Redemption, Then Rejection From Harvard
Times readers debated Harvard’s decision to withdraw an offer to a woman who had been imprisoned for the murder of her young son.I hope Harvard did their due diligence before accepting her.
If Harvard was diligent it should not be swayed by the mob.
My respect for Harvard is reduced.
