When ‘Incorrigible’ Teen Girls Were Jailed

At 15, my grandmother was locked up alongside young women committed for “immorality.” Her story taught me about a little-known history.

#me too is a fix.
There are others.
They do not work well.

Do the homework.
The children do not do the homework.
They have not done the homework for several generations.
Most of the children do not read aloud.

Millions of Americans move overseas every year, some for love, some for jobs and others to embrace new cultures. Here’s how you can join them.

I like it here.
Changes are needed.

Where Could They Get More for Their Money: Upper East Side or Upper West Side?

For their first purchase together, a couple debate the merits of Manhattan’s northern flanks. Which of these places would you choose?

To Make This Tofu, Start by Burning Toxic Plastic

Plastic waste from America, collected for recycling, is shipped to Indonesia. Some is burned as fuel by tofu makers, producing deadly chemicals and contaminating food.

Conscience free people externalize costs as they can.
There are no heroes in this chain.

Devin Nunes Is Danielle Steel

Republicans’ impeachment strategy? Storytelling.

I like the music.
Put a tune to it.

How Narwhal the ‘Unicorn’ Puppy May Have Grown a Tail on His Head

The likeliest explanation is not all that cute, some scientists say. But Narwhal is still very cute.

Development is a black box.

Try a clone after you try breeding.

Maybe unique is good.

Please do not chose an "expensive to keep" dog.

It Was Obvious from Day 1

The first time someone asked Ariel Shepherd-Oppenheim and Eliza Ladensohn how long they had been together, it was the very day they met.

Yes.
Any way you can.
Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

The Best-Picture Race Has Begun. Could One of These Films Win?

From “Parasite” to “Joker,” and Scorsese to Tarantino, we’ve sized up the current field, and it’s a wide-open race.

I have seen none of these.

Cities Worldwide Are Reimagining Their Relationship With Cars

Cars changed the way we move. They also led to toxic levels of air pollution in many cities. Now, under pressure from their citizens, city officials are experimenting with new ways to reimagine the role of cars.

The simplest is to raise the cost of operation by raising the cost of fuel.
Limit parking stringently.
Remove fuel access.
Build more light rail and subways.
bicycles.
Electric bicycles.
Bicycle parking, sheltered and unsheltered.

Shame on Us for Getting Used to Trump

If the impeachment hearing wasn’t shocking, it’s a sign of how far we’ve fallen.

He is a new irritant every time.

Review: ‘The Crown’ and the Burdens of a No-Drama Queen

In the scintillating third season of the Netflix drama, Olivia Colman becomes Elizabeth.

Brexit should seem a good idea to the Crown.
