You Knew the Warriors Were Coming Back. The Rockets Did, Too.

Another sublime third quarter. More pain for Mike D’Antoni. “We thought we had it.”

Ultimately it is a game and not our game.

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

A Warning to Women of a Certain Age: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Nightdress

Pamela Druckerman — horrified when waiters began calling her “madame,” not “mademoiselle” — has written a book about women and middle age, “There Are No Grown-Ups.”

 "Horrified; we are the police . . ."

Malcolm Gladwell Likes Things Better in Canada

The journalist on mass shootings, not believing in prisons and if Donald Trump has gotten in his 10,000 hours of practice for presidential greatness.

Malcolm Gladwell refuses to plead guilty.

Trump has not been practicing at presidency.
He is a practitioner of fraud.

Can you recycle coffee cups or greasy pizza boxes? If you’re tossing things in the recycling bin out of sheer hope, you might be an “aspirational recycler.”

She Was a Model for Impressionist Masters. Then She Became One Herself.

New Study Estimates Hurricane Maria Death Toll in Puerto Rico Could Exceed 4,000

The number of people who died because of Hurricane Maria last year has been a matter of debate. A new study relied on interviews on the ground.

It is probably an undercount.
The dead and absent cannot count themselves.

Fashion & Style

Nicolas Ghesquière Still Has Something He Wants to Say at Louis Vuitton

And he said a lot of it at the brand’s cruise show in the south of France.

Fashion should always be an experiment.
Knockoffs are the signal of success.

The Strange Failure of the Educated Elite

The flaw in boomer leadership.

David Brooks fails to think about definitions.
He is not alone.

The Corporate Delivery Pie You Secretly Love — but Better

A honeyed and tomato-rich sauce topped with pepperoni that releases it ruddy grease, acting like threads of saffron in a paella.

Home cooks have finite audiences.
If they like it, it is good.

Slow-Walking Your Renovation

Overwhelmed by the idea of a major remodel? As one homeowner discovered, all you need to do is take it one room at a time.

One task at a time is a better presentation.
