@neiltyson Loved your tribute to the Bronx on CBS Sunday Morning but wished it had included a bow to the Bronx institution that helped launch your journey into the cosmos. You know, the high school with nine Nobels.

A beautiful farewell by a master chronicler of the cosmos. I’m proud to say he began making his mark nationally when he joined us at our old magazine Discover and I had the occasional honor to serve as his editor. https://t.co/MiuoDxeiug via @NYTimes

Delighted this super achiever has been selected by #TIME as its CEO of the year. Sadly, TIME doesn't name the high school that spawned Lisa Su's interest in science. She's a a grad of the Bronx High School of Science, Class of 1986, my own alma mater. https://t.co/QU57aBtWpl

Wise thoughts about a predicament many of us have faced—should we pull Santa’s beard off for our kids and grandkids? https://t.co/OXh5FSAfk8

A little behind the WashPost’s obituary for the esteemed #TIME essayist Lance Morrow but filled with many more details of his rich and productive life. https://t.co/bh48UM3bTn via @NYTimes

Along with colleagues like Roger Rosenblatt and Robert Hughes, Lance Morrow was a prime reason why TIME was an indispensable weekly read. https://t.co/v9pf4ebEjk

One reason why fat cat pharma billionaires shouldn’t own newspapers. At least the Chandlers always let us know where they stood.https://t.co/rasY1hH4uV via @SFGate

Lanny was a gent of the first order. He cared about people, capitalized or lc. When Time Inc. shed Discover, he was one of the few execs who asked what I planned to do next. via @NYTimes

It’s Father’s Day and Joshua Molina tells us, in moving prose, how he and his aging father now find themselves in reversed roles.

The old newsmagazine hasn't lost its touch.

[Frederic Golden @scribblingfred]

Remember when the NYT reported the news without fear or favor?

However well-intentioned Spain, Ireland and Norway think their recognition of a Palestinian state may be, it will only embolden Hamas and encourage more Arab-Israel violence. https://t.co/ZRjSmvvwCa

Encountering this guy on our visit to Firenze, I wondered whether we couldn’t benefit from his likes in smiting all those unruly Philistines at Columbia University and other campuses.

If you think the Golden Calf huckster said "Make America Pray again," you've misheard. It's prey--not pray--and we're the targets. https://t.co/3ITP43AOww
