Gurov was Moscow born; he arrived in Moscow on a fine frosty day, and when he put on his fur coat and warm gloves, and walked along Petrovka, and when on Saturday evening he heard the ringing of the bells, his recent trip and the places he had seen lost all charm for him. 1/...

@NewsHour not endorsing any of this ... but irony re: privileged US kids who wear garb identifying as Palestinian, whose passion is the plight of Gazans and crimes of the US-backed Jewish state, may have to pass thru checkpoints with access to jobs and education limited
Anna Sergeyevna did not visit him in dreams, but followed him about everywhere like a shadow and haunted him. When he shut his eyes he saw her as though she were living before him, and she seemed to him lovelier, younger, tenderer than she was; and he imagined himself finer... 1/

ABOUT TARIFFS...
Can I just explain how wrong Donald Trump sounds to those of us in the import business? He’s bullshitting you.
Here’s the truth: I work in imports, and Trump’s claims are false. The importer (the company bringing goods into the U.S.) pays the tariffs, and that cost is added to the price of the product.
Depending on the profit margin, part of that cost gets passed on to you, the consumer—but it's not a fixed amount.
The country where the product comes from doesn’t pay the tariff. Tariffs are added to the price when the goods arrive in the U.S.
So, in the end, WE—the American consumers—are the ones paying the tariffs through higher prices at the store.

The seven first centuries were filled with a rapid succession of triumphs; but it was reserved for Augustus to relinquish the ambitious design of subduing the whole earth, and to introduce a spirit of moderation into the public councils.

If the rules for trials
which are now laid down some states - especially in well-governed states - were
applied everywhere, such people would have nothing to say. 1/...
