All right--the NY Times has seemingly beefed up its coverage of the outrages of this 'administration.' But at what cost? I invite you to find the incomplete sentence embedded in this article. (No, this is not a trick -- but if it gets you to read the article, great!)

In a wonderful interview on the Daily Beast, Mary Trump just reminded us that her uncle is a nihilist -- and when he goes down he will take as many people with him as he can. We need to be prepared and aware. It ain't gonna be just his peeps.

OK I'm slowly making up with the NY Times as it slowly makes its way back to real journalism. Meanwhile, these 'overlooked' obits are a great contribution. This one fudges on Jung's sexual exploitation of a young patient, but does highlight Spielrein's bold genius.

To paraphrase Madame Pomfrey (Harry Potter), regrowing a brain is a painful process. But maybe the NYT can manage it.
