☆ The Irony of Dr. Ruth
  + stars: | 2024-07-13 | by ( Rhonda Garelick | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
I will never forget the afternoon I spent, about 30 years ago, with Dr. Ruth Westheimer, interviewing her for a now-long-lost magazine article — my first ever. At 4-foot-7 Dr. Ruth used them to keep her feet from dangling when she sat down. Dr. Ruth’s office testified to her own engaged and connected life. Dr. Ruth, it turned out, was an avid and accomplished skier, a fact that should not have surprised me but did. Ruth Westheimer posed a perpetual contradiction: Her form never seemed to match her content.

Ottawa CNN —Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons Anthony Rota resigned his post Tuesday, days after he praised a Ukrainian veteran who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II. “I accept full responsibility for my actions.”Rota’s recognition of Hunka last week prompted a standing ovation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the incident “deeply embarrassing.”The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division was part of the Nazi SS organization declared a criminal organization by the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg in 1946, which determined the Nazi group had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. Dave Chan/AFP via Getty ImagesRecognizing Hunka was “beyond outrageous,” B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn said, adding, “We cannot allow the whitewashing of history.”“Canadian soldiers fought and died to free the world from the evils of Nazi brutality,” he said. “No one – not even anyone among you, fellow parliamentarians, or from the Ukrainian delegation – was privy to my intention or my remarks prior to their delivery,” he said.

☆ Opinion | The Lines Between Red and Blue America Are Blurring, Not Hardening

We canned our own tomatoes and turned ice cream by hand but also traveled to the East Coast for b’nai mitzvah. This summer a little town of a few thousand near my family’s farm held a Pride parade — for the fourth time. There’s even a small queer community at the little high school I attended. These so-called red states are their home, and many of them will raise families there. Kansas was, after all, the first state to reject — resoundingly — an effort to roll back abortion access after Roe was struck down.

☆ How to Gift Money for Weddings, Christmas, Birthdays or Any Occasion
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +8 min
A sentimental card or letter can smooth over the transactional rough edges of a cash gift. If you’re sending money electronically, it’s great to note in the card the method by which you’ve sent money: “Check your Venmo for the gift that accompanies this card UNLESS YOU HATE MONEY,” or similar phrasing of your choice. Don’t even give them a gift card, which limits where they can redeem it and adds the pressure of an expiration date. And even if you feel annoyed by an overt request for a monetary gift, don’t decide to opt out with the gift of nothing. If you’d like to receive cashEmbrace transparencyMaybe people used to pretend they didn’t need money or that gifts didn’t…cost money, but those days are happily behind us.
