‘Something Celestial’?

This column could be for those of you who consider yourselves unlucky. But how many of you have been unlucky enough to be hit by space debris? There is only one person on the planet who can claim that dubious distinction. First, the example of Skylab, which some readers might recall. If people were ever to have dangerous space debris rain on them, it was in 1979, when the vehicle was to tumble from space. Many people were genuinely frightened. Others made bets about when and where the falling space station would reenter Earth’s atmosphere. Newspapers offered prizes for finding ... by Tom Clavin

Staring Into the Past

In addition to potatoes, carrots grow well in Sagaponack. Our soil type can sustain their thirsty character while letting that long, singular, sweet tap root seek itself deep and straight into the dirt. Thus anchored, the carrot prospers until the day I loosen the dirt around it, and pull. We sell carrots two ways, with greens or without. Most want without, and I am happy to leave the substantial foliage here in its field and not have it end up dislocated in a dumpster far from “home.” These are vigorous carrots, and I have a system for removing the greens, ... by Marilee Foster

Nauseating Pretense

I was surprised to see Nick LaLota so full of praise for a hard-won fight over the SALT increase [“LaLota Votes for Spending Compromise That Raises SALT Cap, but Only for Five Years,” 27east.com, July 3]. His “hard no” was very short-lived. Instead, he got a four-year increase. In your piece, he highlights that a family earning $250,000 will get $5,000 more back in taxes — but that amount will be a whole lot less for a couple earning under $100,000. And remember that in five years it will be eliminated again. Balance that against the thousands of families who ... by Staff Writer

Stupid People

The problem with stupid people is that they’re too stupid to know how stupid they are. Example: Donald Trump. Benjamin Netanyahu saw a useful fool in Trump from a mile away when he first engaged with Trump, and he knew early on that if he complimented him and appealed to his enormous ego that Trump would eventually do anything Netanyahu wanted him to do. Netanyahu, who has sullied Israel’s reputation and turned it into a war criminal state with his savage butchery in Gaza, was able to get Trump to bomb Iran, an extremely provocative move that will make all ... by Staff Writer
