...Peaceful Message, a charming double portrait, painted by Castiglione around 1736, of Qianlong and his father. The older man is handing his son a sprig of flowering apricot, symbolizing a peaceful transition of power and wishes for a fruitful reign. Yongzheng did not want his chosen heir to suffer the questions of legitimacy that he did. The Royal Academy exhibition is much more than Qing propaganda, exquisite as it is. There is a large room devoted to literati paintings, some produced by Ming loyalists protesting foreign rule in subtle works that speak of isolation, removal or quiet outrage. And many...
...left shrieking in their cribs for progressively longer periods at night so as to learn to soothe themselves. Deeply conflicted parents are instructed to ignore howls and wails until the allotted moment, at which point they can coo at--but not pick up--their babies before leaving them to suffer themselves to sleep. For parents who successfully Ferberize, the method is a godsend, if by way of purgatory. Even fans shudder at the recollection of those tear-stained nights, when every fiber of their bodies called them to console their unhappy babe...

With so many significant plot elements missing (Hermione’s humane S.P.E.W. campaign, house elves Dobby and Winky), one would think a two-and-a-half-hour version of the 734-page book would suffer from confusing narrative jumps.

Do the math, says Sydney forensic psychiatrist Yolande Lucire: if only 1% of users suffer terrible side effects that aren't recognized for what they are, that's more than 10,000 Australians who've recently been disabled by a drug that was supposed to help them. "That would be enough to fill the beds in every mental hospital in the country...
...taken two rounds of deep pay and benefit cuts, followed by the loss of my pension, I needed an airsick bag to get through your article. It is the trend for CEOs to take a company into bankruptcy and then bully workers to accept even more cuts or else suffer liquidation, contract nullification or outsourcing. These executives cite huge losses and global competition as their rationale, yet they somehow find millions upon millions of dollars to secure their own salaries, bonuses, pensions and perks. The obscene thing is that bankruptcy judges and Congress allow it. When will we all stand...
