News of the week
Having reached a certain age, I do read the obits in the NY Times. One dated Aug. 22 was for Norman Carlson, a long time leader of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He served under 11 Attorneys General having been appointed by John N. Mitchell, Nixon's A.G. Subsequently, Mitchell was convicted in the Watergate scandal and was sent to Federal prison where he was under Mr. Carlson's custody. You can't make this stuff up.

-Post G.O.P. convention - The mostly maskless guests were seated cheek by jowl for hours, like the teeming crowd for the big finale of a pandemic reality show: "The Celebrity Appestilence."-James Poniewozik NYT
