Americans don’t envy Bill Gates or Michael Dell (or not very much). We know that their billions spring from tremendous personal effort and innovation. In our financial caste system, merit can justify money, in any amount. But the undeserving rich drive us completely nuts. They’re steering their BMWs to their sailboats at their summer homes, only because they bought Microsoft at $3. Deep in your heart, you think, Grrrr, I could have done that, too....

The 23-year-old Argentine forward made headlines this week after being compared to compatriot Lionel Messi, with the Palermo president singing his praises. Maurizio Zamparini brought Dybala to Italy from Argentina, and has claimed that the ’new Messi’ is worth €150 million. Dybala has other things on his mind, however, and re-shared a photograph he had taken with Rihanna to celebrate her 29th birthday.

The worst part is that Hopkins, one of the nation’s premier medical institutions, is not alone. Two years ago the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services warned that the system safeguarding human subjects is in danger of a meltdown. The boards that review proposed studies are overburdened, understaffed and shot through with conflicts of interest. Oversight is so porous that no one knows how many people volunteer to be human guinea pigs (21 million a year is an educated guess), how many are hurt or how many die....
A recent study showed that 75 percent of households admitted to having arguments over temperature.

When night falls, the temperature battle in my apartment begins. As I snuggle under a down comforter with an extra blanket at my feet, I often hear my roommate’s door open to lower the thermostat in the hall....

The Texans quarterback responded late Tuesday to a social media post in which Tony Buzbee, a Houston lawyer, said a suit had been filed against Watson.
