Judge in AT&T Case Ignored ‘Economics and Common Sense,’ Government Says

The Justice Department’s argument is the start of its second attempt to stop the $85.4 billion merger between AT&T and Time Warner.

Under the Trump administration the merger will go through.
That is not a good thing.

Education will suffer.

11 Children Found in ‘Filthy’ New Mexico Compound, Sheriff Says

While looking for a missing 4-year-old boy from Georgia, investigators raided a makeshift desert compound and found 16 malnourished adults and children. The 4-year-old is still missing.

Cultural differences.

Television is a terrible master.

Cuomo Attacked N.Y.’s Largest Cable Company. Its Channels Ignored the News.

As New York State seeks to boot Charter Spectrum from the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has attacked the cable company and at least one of its reporters.

"Gas Lighting" is a fraud.
Charter Spectrum is guilty of fraud.

Sunk costs should not control the public good.

The Russia Meeting at Trump Tower Was To Discuss Adoption. Then It Wasn’t. How Accounts Have Shifted

The special counsel’s inquiry into the June 2016 meeting is no doubt complicated by the constantly changing explanations from nearly everyone involved.

The public is learning the facts if it cares.

A Video of a Nail Salon Brawl Went Viral. Protesters Want the Shop Closed.

A customer and an employee were arrested at the salon on Friday. On Monday, dozens of people protested outside.

A service was requested and performed.
The fee was not paid.
The police should have been summoned.


Obituaries

Amy Meselson, Lawyer Who Defended Young Immigrants, Dies at 46

She intervened to save an 18-year-old Senegalese student who had won a prize for robotics in East Harlem but was facing deportation.

The Trump administration and its agents are cruel.

Saudi Arabia’s Ugly Spat With Canada

By expelling the Canadian ambassador for speaking up on human rights, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman undermines the reforms he has made.

Saudi should self destruct.
That will not be allowed while the world is oil dependent.

When a Female C.E.O. Leaves, the Glass Ceiling Is Restored

Even at companies run by prominent women — where it seems that gender diversity has made great strides — why is a female leader hardly ever replaced by another woman?

Misogyny continues.
The person at the top does not much change the corporate culture.  Salted sugar water for cash is the business.

A ‘Landmark’ Restaurant Returns: A Preview of the Four Seasons

Just three blocks from the original, the new Four Seasons nods to the past while forging its own identity.

As convenient.

Good advice.
