Our mayor is warning New Yorkers that hospitals are about to "go broke." I recall bills from my last extended hospitalization that itemized $16 for a few Tylenol tablets. Funny how I'm not feeling much sympathy for for-profit hospitals. #pandemic #COVID19US

I keep hearing our President talking about the "Chinese virus." Fact: In 1918, the great flu pandemic originated in the U.S., though nobody called it the "American Virus." #COVID19 #COVID19US #pandemic #SurvivingCorona

This man is one of the most talented editors I've ever had the privilege of working with. He's a rock-solid manager and an idea man extraordinaire. Any news organization would be lucky to have him.

Everyone tells me print is dead, but I don't care (and I don't agree.) I made the New York Times' Sunday edition, and that feels pretty satisfactory. nyti.ms/3AT5lSr

Last week, "Smithsonian" magazine ran my feature on the notorious Ruth Snyder execution photo of 1928. Sometimes people ask me what goes into history articles like this. Well, in this case, about six weeks of library research—which looks like this. bit.ly/3w8WOYg
