Miracle Space-Age Fabrics of the 1980s

I fractured my patella in March. I was skiing in Colorado. As I stood up from the chairlift, the top of my kneecap broke away. Crazy, right? We couldn’t figure out how it happened. One doctor thought my thigh muscles were so strong, they pulled the bone apart. Those millions of squats I’ve done in the past must have given me the quadriceps of 10 men. But can the quadriceps of 10 men break a bone? If so, are they strong enough to lift a car? Lifting a car would be bad-expletive. Since it happened at the top of the ... 10 May 2025 by Tracy Grathwohl

Going Nuclear

“Governor [Kathy] Hochul is making a major push to not only build new nuclear plants in New York State but to make New York the center of a nuclear revival in the U.S.,” declared Mark Dunlea, chair of the Green Education and Legal Fund, and long a leader on environmental issues in the state and nationally, in a recent email calling on support to “stop Hochul’s nuclear push.” Dunlea is author of the book “Putting Out the Planetary Fire: An Introduction to Climate Change and Advocacy.” An Albany Law School graduate, he co-founded both the New York Public Interest Research ... by Karl Grossman

Turkeys and Eagles

The turkey is the loudest thing in the predawn hours. A “gobble” descriptor does not come close to capturing his overture. From the distant darkness, it’s no songbird tuning-in when the turkey lets loose his call. So much like the bird itself, it’s a big and a slightly comical noise, followed then by a long silence. Saying nothing more, he flaps down from his roost to begin his day. There are ladies to court and toms to fight, grubs to be scratched from the earth. To be a turkey in Sagg is not so bad. No longer needing reintroduction, their ... 7 May 2025 by Marilee Foster

Nazis, Aliens and the Hamptons, Oh My!

On June 13, 1942, Nazi saboteurs landed on Atlantic Beach in Amagansett as part of a larger plot to strategically cripple U.S. infrastructure. Next month, the Life-Saving Station there will commemorate the historic event. Thanks to the courage and ingenuity of a young seaman, John C. Cullen, the saboteurs — who had buried explosives in the dunes — were quickly reported, later arrested and eventually tried under the framework of the Alien Enemies Act. Yeah, that act. The same 1798 act under which the Trump administration is trying to disappear hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a gulag in El Salvador. ... 6 May 2025 by Carlos Sandoval

Thanks to Brianna

A tragic event on the waters of Great South Bay off Bay Shore in 2005, in which two boats collided and Brianna Lieneck, 11, was killed, her parents severely injured, and an older sister and her friend hurt, led to the passage in 2019 of “Brianna’s Law.” With it, New York State joined other states in requiring operators of a motorized watercraft (including sailboats with auxiliary motors) to successfully complete a state-approved boating safety course. In that 2005 tragedy, a 25-foot boat slammed into the Lieneck’s 24-foot boat — indeed, went over it and crashed down on it. The folks ... by Karl Grossman
