“By re-opening long-abandoned rooms once known as “box offices”, venues have essentially figured out how to avoid splitting revenue with brokers while ensuring tickets are purchased only by those who will attend events or performances.”

Your book may cover this but, demographers notwithstanding, it’s hard to consider anyone who was still a teenager when MTV existed a Baby Boomer. Culturally, the children of ‘61-‘64 were the advance guard of Gen-X.

158.4 million. Narrow it to the 24 states in question and tens of millions is a fair estimate.

A salient question. It’s one of the multiplatform editors. If you read the article, you’ll see this subhed doesn’t accurately reflect Balz’s analysis - which is that the election will hinge on how voters long ago answered this question (since their answers ain’t gonna change before November).

Elizabeth Taylor's second marriage, to Michael Wilding. Elizabeth Taylor's second marriage to Richard Burton. Commas are all that separate us from the rest of the animal kingdom, folks. (Except orangutans, who are very attentive to punctuation.)

Analysis: Alito portrays himself as so meekly subordinate to his wife’s dominion that he won’t act to remove an insurrection flag he objects to from their house for days w/o her consent. But he also asserts no reasonable person could question the independence of his judgment on insurrection matters.

No one can do what Sharon Lerner does better than Sharon Lerner.
I had to stop reading to breathe in the middle. Sharon figured out a way to make mass spec contamination narratively exciting, as well as the scale of the secrets & contamination
+1 for the canon of #PFAS articles. A must-read:

It simply said, “Just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in Lee’s Summit”, which was obviously the KC social-media intern trying to make a funny (i.e., “He may play for the Chiefs, but he’s not one of us, nudge, wink,” etc.)

I just read an obit for Peggy Hitchcock that referred to "Timothy O'Leary" and "Downtown Abbey" and I just want to say I really miss copyeditors, editors, reporters who double-check their work, and the existence of facts in general.

Sincere question, as I’m not versed in the myriad test cases: Madison’s concise language reads like he intended 1A to keep the government from restricting Americans’ expression - not our access. How has it been interpreted to include access?

Syntactically, she didn't say that Hamilton founded Columbia. She said that Hamilton founded a strain of academic excellence of which Columbia had previously been a beacon. (Yes, I know that's not what she meant, but since schools can't be "previously founded", that's what she wrote.)

We’re also seeing what happens when reporters are allowed to post continuous “updates” to a newspaper’s homepage, free of oversight from an editor who could flag such identifying information. There’s no need for the courtroom play-by-play. A well-written end-of-day digest is sufficient.

On a side note, the lack of a predicate in this subordinate clause is incredibly distracting/maddening.
