Finished watching THE VEIL.
Elizabeth Moss, Istanbul, Paris and the English countryside. All good so far. Alas, the story proves once again that not everyone is John LeCarré.

Of course, tomorrow, your Editorial Board will ask him to step down as the nominee for the Republican Party because he is unfit to serve. Right? Right????

The speaker of the State House, Dade Phelan, survived a primary challenge from a Trump-backed activist, but many other Republican incumbents were ousted in bitter primary races.
www.nytimes.comYes, for sure the editors read this. But I just didn't see the editorial board of the NYT take a position on this, like they did with campus protest, for instance. I might have missed it, although I don't think so.
Seems to me, there's an article on how not to market to women here.
The Kidnap Express is apparently trying to market to women in particular
An old gripe:

So this is an essay. There has been no editorial on this at the NYT. Or did I miss it?

A 600 page Harry Hole is like a week at the cottage, with both familiar and unexpected things. The central argument is quite far-fetched, but if you roll with it, the rest has internal logic.
