The case against military intervention in Syria.
Russia's protesters are still going, albeit in smaller numbers.
Do stumbling stones individualize and humanize victims, or focus unduly on victimization?
Demand truth in food labeling, including in restaurants.
Whether someone's too thin to be pregnant may be a fair question--though the question should be about eating enough, not how thin she is--but an even more relevant question is whether someone's too overweight to be pregnant.
Is there hope for Moscow's non-neighborhoods?

Wow, this guy really gets my family experience. An example:
My family is always late to pick me up at the train station in Boston. They understand the arrival time to mean the time they should leave the house, 20 minutes away. The station is usually cold — this isn’t bracing, it’s annoying. But, bonus: nearly a half-hour more to fester.
There is an easy solution: take a cab. A line of them awaits, eager and willing, one last anonymous stalling until the joy begins. My offers are constantly rebuffed though. That would be too simple. And also, why start the visit on a good note?
More:What happens next is noise. My family has never met a silence they didn’t want to fill, a question they didn’t want to ask.
I came to accept why we couldn’t have a tree. Reason: Jewish. (My older brother could never understand why I wanted a tree. I could never understand why he didn’t understand — was he unaware of what was under those things?) The abundant chatter is a more secular concern. It persists, out of nerves, maybe, or love, most likely both. Neither is a hanging crime. It’s a crowded time, these several weeks, and you have to be a saint to make it through unscathed. Luckily my family doesn’t believe in those either.
