• Why you shouldn’t rule out a ‘Big Little Lies’ third season

  24-07-2019 23:58
  
  “Big Little Lies” aired its Season 2 finale Sunday night with what looked to be a final chapter for the so-called Monterey Five. But could we eventually see more of the women?
  Don’t rule it out.
  HBO programming chief Casey Bloys said on Wednesday that there are no plans for a third season, but remains open to the idea.
  “I’d never say never, but my sense is that, on the face of it, there’s no obvious place to go or no obvious story,” he told reporters at

• Why Pelosi and the Democrats hesitate on impeaching Trump

  24-07-2019 21:00
  
  There’s a big divide among congressional Democrats when it comes to their biggest issue of this summer: To impeach President Trump or not.
  The split appears to be over whether Trump’s alleged offenses have been sufficiently egregious to rise to the level of  “high crimes and misdemeanors,” but that’s not really where Democrats differ. The real rift may be most visible in California’s congressional delegation.
  This is more about strategy and survival

  Mankind has a way of bouncing back. Take, for example, the Antrobus family at the center of Thornton Wilder’s 1942 play, “The Skin of Our Teeth.”
  Mr. Antrobus, we are told, invented the wheel, following closely on his discovery of the lever, and he’s finishing the alphabet.
