Great article, well-written and sourced. Another reason why the NYT is, in topics apart from politics, the best newspaper in the US.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I had this thought as well.
This is "human interest" stories at its best.
I have always hated the suckiness of the nonsensical NYT politics.
But for some reason, they DO have articles that are real gems, so long as they can control themselves from inserting politics.
Unfortunately rare, but when they can tame their hysteria demons, sometimes they do a nice job.
The NYT magazine in the Sunday edition *used* to be one of my favorite things to read
. It includes interesting stories, book reviews, and the cherry on top, the NYT Sunday crossword puzzle.
Yep, I feel the same way about NPR. Beautiful work tragically undermined by libtard political bias.
