Running Afoul of Moses

With Robert Moses having gotten me fired from my first job as a journalist after I wrote about a fierce assault on civil rights protesters by his security force on the opening day of his 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, and after two years of my challenging his plan to build a four-lane highway on Fire Island, I was interested in a show that in recent weeks has been playing in Manhattan. Its title: “Straight Line Crazy.” The “straight line,” noted the review in The New Yorker, “is a reference to Moses’s compulsive tendency to draw straight lines on maps ... by Karl Grossman

Butterfly Surgery

We try not to lose sight of the caterpillars as they are unintentionally brought into the house. You find them when your hand grazes one, and its “horns” erupt. If you see the bright orange prongs and lean closer to sniff the caterpillar, as a real predator might, you’ll be hit by a strange little smell. If you were that predator, and the horns didn’t scare you, maybe this offensive scent would. To the modern human, the caterpillar does have a funk, but it’s so distinctive that you’re likely to sniff harder. What the insect emits is complex and sudden, ... 1 Dec 2022 by Marilee Foster

New Nukes?

Suffolk County is nuclear-free — none of the seven to 11 nuclear power plants proposed for the county became a reality — after decades of intense grassroots and governmental opposition. A key element was Suffolk County and New York State determining, after an extensive study, that a successful evacuation would be impossible in the event of a major nuclear power plant accident at the first nuclear plant built here, at Shoreham. Thus, Suffolk County and state governments refused to draw up and agree to implement a federally required evacuation plan. The Shoreham plant was scuttled. But now the U.S. Nuclear ... by Karl Grossman

VIEWPOINT: Lessons Learned by a ‘Super-Senior’

As I approached my 80th birthday earlier this year, I found myself facing a reality I had never expected. Longevity among male members of my family was far from a given; my own father passed away at the age of 53, shortly after my 8th birthday. In addition, I knew, from a quick study many years ago of life expectancy charts in the World Almanac, that a white American male born in 1942 had a decent chance of making it to 72 and a half, with anything beyond that a gift, pure and simple. My first thought, as my family ... by George Motz

Is It Holiday Time Yet?

It’s December 1. We can talk about the holidays. Finally. As if my Instagram feed hasn’t been advertising Advent calendars since Halloween. As if my satellite radio didn’t start playing holiday music on November 1. As if I didn’t shop at a pre-pre-pre-Black Friday sale in September. I’m Jewish, so, of course, my favorite holiday is Christmas. I love the lights, the trees, the carols. I wrote a column about my love of carols. Read it on the 27east.com archive. I’m sure you’re not too busy getting ready for Christmas. You’ve got 24 whole days! For me, the best thing ... by Tracy Grathwohl
