incredible that this Joan Didion obituary features a quote from 2009 that was taken for THIS piece! a quote from a person who is now also deceased! nytimes.com/2021/12/23/boo or do obits regularly have such old quotes (demonstrating they were actually so many years in the making)?

A lot of the debates about the Democratic Party are proxies for a broader question: How does the party advocate for civil rights causes and a truly multiracial nation while not offending too many White voters? We took a deep look at that question. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/

Internal emails show that execs at UnitedHealthcare, the biggest health insurer in the county, suggested edits to a prominent Yale study that blew the lid off surprise billing. Corporate involvement in academic research is more common than people think.

The findings sparked a media sensation and led to a change in federal law. The insurance giant’s role was surprisingly common.
