Next Draft - It's All Greek to Me
“The path to Salvation is as narrow and as difficult to walk as a razor's edge." —W. Somerset Maugham . 2Ruthless People"At the end of June, in the afterglow of a debate performance that would ultimately prompt President Joe Biden to end his campaign for reelection, Donald Trump startled his aides by announcing that he’d come up with a new nickname for his opponent. 'The guy’s a retard. He’s retarded. I think that’s what I’ll start calling him,' Trump declared aboard his campaign plane, en route to a rally that evening, according to three people who heard him make the remarks: 'Retarded Joe Biden.'" Tim Alberta gives you an inside look at The Ruthless, Restless Final Days of Trump’s Campaign. 3The Point of No ReturnAt most big online retailers, it's pretty easy to get a refund on a product you don't want. Sometimes, you don't even have to return the product to get one. Many retailers offer ‘returnless refunds.’ Just don’t expect them to talk much about it. (Maybe it was better back in the Breaking Away days when salespeople knew how to deal with returns.) 4Curative"Lupus, doctors like to say, affects no two patients the same. The disease causes the immune system to go rogue in a way that can strike virtually any organ in the body, but when and where is maddeningly elusive. One patient might have lesions on the face, likened to wolf bites by the 13th-century physician who gave lupus its name. Another patient might have kidney failure. Another, fluid around the lungs. What doctors can say to every patient, though, is that they will have lupus for the rest of their life. The origins of autoimmune diseases like it are often mysterious, and an immune system that sees the body it inhabits as an enemy will never completely relax. Lupus cannot be cured. No autoimmune disease can be cured." But there is a new treatment that could be upending that reality. Sarah Zhang in The Atlantic (Gift Article): A ‘Crazy’ Idea for Treating Autoimmune Diseases Might Actually Work. 5Extra, ExtraBig D Energy: "Democracy is at once everywhere and nowhere—on the lips of the masses calling for freedom and fearing for its safeguarding, while every day asking the question: What even is democracy? Starting in 2018, that is the question the Our Democracy team—me along with photographer Andrea Bruce and educator and videographer Lorraine Ustaris—set out to answer. Our starting point wasn’t simple, but it was frank. We would travel cross-country to see how Americans live and hear what they say democracy looks like in their daily lives."
