Wonderful reporting by the Globe. So wonderful I thought the comments might be worth reading - wrong again.

Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk did nothing wrong. The Trump administration went after her anyway. - The Boston Globe
In March, masked agents swarmed her on a Somerville street. The crackdown on foreign scholars was just beginning.

My daughter this Kerouac fan bought this in NYC and I picked up on a lark. Worth reading as a period piece of 40s NYC - with a bonus mention Sydney Mines.

Reading Jack Kerouac was not the first place I expected to see a reference to the coal mine where my grandfather worked for many decades - but here it is.

A graphic novel which follows a progressive state senator as she fights for rent control. Enjoyed the narration around the reality of effective legislating and the perception of the same by activists. Portrayal of Cuomo makes one happy he was beaten by the guy making a brief appearance at the end.

Holidays are for reading! I loved this one - notably because it integrated how changes in technology and science affect history. The ability to synthesize rubber and nitrates made the land with the raw materials less valuable. Air travels made small island bases more valuable.

I could not have selected a better novel to randomly read after the Jakarta Method. What is like to live a life as the country descends into dictatorship and civil war - too prescient.

A brilliant and angering indictment of American foreign policy during the Cold War. How the world as it could have been, never became.

One thing children owe to their parents is to expose them to new things - new music, new authors, new lingo. I am done with “Bro” but I am deeply thankful to my daughter for introducing me to Jesse Welles - who played an amazing 2.5 hours (and one Nirvana cover) last night.

Sometimes I walk into my usual bus - route, essentially the same time, and 1/3 of the people are masked and other times I am the only one. Today it is a full half wearing masks.

I want to have a prof with as simplistic a world view as Larry Summers - who questions why he continued to communicate with a sexual predator rather than why he thinks so little about women in general that he thinks sexual predation is not that bad a thing.

On this day in 1976, the Parti Québécois led by René Lévesque won the Quebec election. The party gained 65 seats to form a majority government. The Liberals under Robert Bourassa lost 76 seats. Within four years, Quebec held a referendum on the issue of independence.

Thematic examination of how the Soviet Union changed from 1957 to 1968. Some chapters were on topics I knew well - like the space program and dissidents - but others - like the changes in housing and consumer goods were completely new. Enjoyed very much.
