@JohnHMcWhorter Please do a column about "86" and the recent flap over Comey's use thereof. Even more important, please check out the amazing Louis Jordan track Boogie-Woogie Blue Plate, where he serves up mouthwatering 1940's diner slang. Love your column.

@OHSUKnight TIL therapy represents a paradigm shift in harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Kudos to all the researchers who worked on this for over 30 years.
