• Global health crisis pits economic concerns against health as people flout stay-at-home rules

  19-04-2020 23:44
  
  Washington • The global health crisis is taking a nasty political turn with tensions worsening between governments locked down to keep the coronavirus at bay and people yearning to restart stalled economies and forestall fears of a depression.Protesters worrying about their livelihoods and bucking infringements on their freedom took to the streets in some places. A few countries were acting to ease restrictions, but most of the world remains unified in insisting it's much too early to take

• Cass R. Sunstein: Why is Trump gutting regulations that save lives?

  19-04-2020 23:00
  
  Since Jan. 30, 2017, the Trump administration’s approach to federal regulation has been defined by a simple requirement: “one in, two out.” The basic idea, set out in one of President Trump’s first executive orders, is that whenever a federal agency issues one regulation, it has to take at least two regulations away — and produce an incremental cost, on the private sector, of zero.The idea was absurd from the very start.It was profoundly demoralizing to experts in f

The girl was later found safe, but the alert, the third in six months with missing or vague information, left many frustrated.Something needs to change with the Amber Alert notification system.

  In the face of mass unemployment and a rapidly contracting economy, President Donald Trump is desperate to end the pandemic lockdown and bring the country back on line. That’s why he spent the past week asserting his “total” authority to reopen the economy (“The president of the United States calls the shots”) and promising a rapid return to normal: “Our country has to get open, and it will get open, and it’ll get open safely and hopefully quickly &mdash

It should be called: “American Russian roulette: The COVID-19 version.”What Trump was saying with those tweets was: Everybody, just go back to work.

The coronavirus runs rampant in the close quarters of a prison.Releasing prisoners now, however, won’t just reduce the spread of the virus. It will also (incidentally) reduce the number of inmates who shouldn’t be imprisoned in the first place.The coronavirus has forced us to rethink the basic structure of our society in numerous ways, primari

  “Will & Grace” is coming to an end (again), and it’s going out with kind of a whimper. Perversely, that’s a good thing.When the show premiered in 1998, “it was revolutionary to have two gay characters,” said Debra Messing, who stars as Grace. Will (Eric McCormack) and Jack (Sean Hayes) were gay, and Karen (Megan Mullally) turned out to be bisexual. In 1998, that was a Really Big Deal because it was so unusual.Yes, the lead character had come out on “
