Lessons From a Failed Nomination, for Both Brett Kavanaugh and the Senate

Senators expect the embarrassing collapse of one judicial nomination to influence others to come.

The Republican party has some differences of opinion.
The liberal and progressive coalition must build on those.

When Your Friend Grabs Your Cellphone

Although the couple overlapped at Cornell for one year in 2011, it wasn’t until they each moved to San Francisco in 2015 that they finally met.

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

I have no objection to the finger lakes.

There Is Life After Campus Infamy

How five people recovered — or vanished — after intense scrutiny at an early age.

A social circle is smaller and memory fades less rapidly
than people would like to believe.

Famous and notorious are different  

A change of name and place is effective.

The Changing Sound of Baltimore

Young independent artists are writing the city’s present, and future, into their music.

A proud city fallen on hard times.

Being a slave state that did not join the Confederacy has not helped.

Brazil’s Military Strides Into Politics, by the Ballot or by Force

Scores of former officers are running for office. And if the ballot box doesn’t work, some former officials warn of a possible military coup.

Brazil has done it before.

End Iran’s Gender Apartheid Now

A teenage girl posted Instagram videos of herself dancing in her bedroom. Then the police came to interrogate her.

Iran is a sovereign nation.

Suspicious Minds

Mingling with wariness and wonder at a conference devoted to “Ancient Aliens.”

Suspicious minds should do the homework.

Food

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato Toast

A Catalan favorite — toasted bread rubbed with garlic and topped with juicy, ripe tomatoes — is just the meal for those high summer days.

First capture a ripe tomato.
Usually they must be home grown under netting.
The birds are hungry and persistent.

North Carolina Barbecue on a Brooklyn Street Corner

Every Saturday, in a yard at Albany Avenue and Pacific Street in Crown Heights, Donnell Rogers sells pork ribs and chicken legs with a vinegar sauce.

As convenient.

Ta-Nehisi Coates Is Leaving The Atlantic

Mr. Coates was hired at The Atlantic in 2008. He became famous for his sweeping essays about systemic racism in the United States.

I hope he finds personal peace.
Continued agitation is necessary.
I must continue to think and think and act.
