Will we ever have a eulogy for racism?I don't know of anyone, black, white, or anywhere in between, who isn't both shocked and saddened by what happened to George Floyd. But as sick as that tragedy was, sicker still is how this extremely rare horror was used — no...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the subway...I've lived in New York City and the surrounding suburbs for over 40 years now, so I know what it was like in the '80s, when you feared for your life riding the subway at certain times and at certain stops.
