Roy Wilkins, administrator of the NAACP, wrote in 1950 that Arkansas was the "very first of the Southern states to accept the new trend without fighting a delaying action or attempting to... limit, if not nullify, bare compliance." A large part of Hunt's success was due to three advantages found in Arkansas: there were no laws on the books specifically prohibiting mixed education in the state, a supreme court ruling that stated law students be allowed to study in the state they intended to practice, and the means for admitting African American Student to address legal education being seen as affordable and equitable. | wikipedia |

Fox was born in New York City to Montreal-born parents Edward and Marilyn Fox and is of French-Canadian, Belgian and Irish descent. She was raised on a narrow barrier island in Melbourne Beach, Florida. She has an older brother, Jeff. She describes herself as being overweight while growing up, with a prominent gap between her teeth. By her 20s, she observed that neither her wisdom teeth nor braces had appreciably helped (although wisdom teeth are no longer considered as causing crowding of the anterior teeth), and Fox said "forget it." | wikipedia |

On 27 October 1998, in Vladivostok, Russia, Douglas Kent, the American Consul General to Russia, was involved in a car accident that left a young man, Alexander Kashin, disabled. Kent was not prosecuted in a US court. Under the Vienna Convention, diplomatic immunity does not apply to civil actions relating to vehicular accidents, but in 2006, the US Court of Appeals ruled that, since he was using his vehicle for consular purposes, Kent could not be sued civilly. | wikipedia |

Yoga has a long history, and originated in India as a spiritual practice. Those who practice or know anything about yoga understand that is was NEVER created nor considered as an aerobic activity. It actually is not an activity nor a sport--it is a practice, just as Mr. Aartsen stated at length in the comment section. This article is misleading to readers, and panders to those who would change the practice or make it something it is not. | nyt_comments |

I'm sure I'm not the only person who ever thought that this type of behavior could never happen in the U.S. We were all taught what a great country we lived in and we had proof in our daily lives. That, alas, has deteriorated--FAST. Is there really nothing that can be done and soon? We keep saying how Trump is ethically challenged, but I think it's a Republican issue. They knew what a crook he was before he was elected and many turned their back on him, but don't have the backbone to do the right thing. When Trump goes down (and I need to believe he will), I hope he takes them all down with him. | nyt_comments |

Hitler solved a lot of Germany's problems at the expense and lives of others, especially the Jews. No one believed that a man with a silly little moustache would rise to such demonic heights but he did. He got his start by exploiting people's prejudices against Jews, Gypsies (now the Roma), Communists, and anyone else who could be blamed for Germany's economic problems. The Jews got the brunt of the resulting homicidal rage but had Hitler continued winning or just plain not lost as fast there would have been more slaughter of Poles, Russians, Catholics, people opposed to Nazism, and anyone else who wasn't up to Hitler's Aryan standards. | nyt_comments |

With few film offers coming in, Turner signed on to appear in the television series Harold Robbins' The Survivors. Premiering in September 1969, the series was given a major national marketing campaign, with billboards featuring life-sized images of Turner. Despite ABC's extensive publicity campaign and the presence of other big-name stars, the program fared badly, and it was canceled halfway into the season after a 15-week run in 1970. Meanwhile, after six months of marriage, Turner discovered Pellar had stolen $35,000 she had given him for an investment. In addition, she later accused him of stealing $100,000 worth of jewelry from her. Pellar denied the accusations and no charges were filed against him. She filed for divorce in January 1970, after which she claimed to be celibate for the remainder of her life. Turner married a total of eight times to seven different husbands, and later famously said: "My goal was to have one husband and seven children, but it turned out to be the other way around." | wikipedia |

I note that Ms. Enriquez fails to mention rape in the equation of "those unique circumstances which have made women feel powerless." She also manages to avoid the inconvenient truth that her party has systematically done everything possible to create "those unique circumstances which have made women feel powerless," and has made certain that all of the "remedial" initiatives she outlines in this column will be slashed and gutted. Medicaid? Forget it, Ms. Enriquez - your party is planning to destroy it. Childcare services? Paid for by minimum wages, which your party is also trying to destroy? Your entire premise is fatally flawed - no one speaks about "buying freedom with the blood of our 'preborn' children," except your side of the aisle. No one will force you to have an abortion - I know of no one who refers to "abortion on demand without apology," - another right wing trope. If you had a child with a fatal congenital anomaly - or if your life was in dire peril as a result of an unplanned pregnancy - you might feel differently. I would add that your party is focused upon destroying access to LARC's or any other contraceptive, stating (falsely) that contraceptives are "abortifacients," which they are not, of course. Don't believe in abortion? Fine - that's your CHOICE: something you cannot accord to others who do not share your views. 2/27, 10:01 AM | nyt_comments |

This study's results are a great 'puzzle piece' to have teased out of the big picture of how we maintain optimal health. Like several of the comments below, I can see big pharma salivating at the opportunity to sell a lifestyle bypass drug to simulate exercise induced microbiome changes. We all know, however, that it's not the same. We also know intuitively that exercise and healthy diet help to stabilize physical frailties. Like Wendy, I have them in spades, especially after a year of intense chemo and 4 major operations and 2 small ones - a few drugs to alter the "pulsating universe" in my body. Serendipitous, my 2018 resolution is to figure out my gut microbiome because I know it's part of the frailties (symptoms not to be mentioned but not too hard to put the puzzle together). The end result, like Wendy, is down stream inflammatory misadventures. In my case, the big drama is in the joints (enteropathic arthritis most likely). This study is fascinating in illuminating the complexity of indirect cause and effect - exercise altering gut flora activity - and gives me reason to not focus myopically on diet as I work out my 2018 resolution. Thanks for putting this study in front of me, I missed it in the medical literature. | nyt_comments |
