The only true paradise, thought Proust, is the one we lost. Those twin steeples at Martinville, emblems of childhood, in time liberated the adult novelist to interpret “the colourings of an unsuspected world”. Little is unsuspected in the work of James Lee Burke. The champion of American crime writing knows the world will never run short of evil. But his books are about far more than goodies and baddies, and his villains are very bad hats indeed.

Our cross-institutional survey of 8,028 university students found that 85% of students use AI because it makes tasks faster and easier. One interpretation of this result may be to think students are being lazy. However, an alternative interpretation is that students are being strategic with their time. Anecdotally, an increasingly large proportion of the workforce, including educators, are using generative AI to help them in daily tasks; so it is not surprising students are doing the same.

Every December, for 12 winters, I placed a red rose on the snow-capped grave of Franz Schubert. Vienna was then my city of choice, and nobody is more Viennese than Schubert. “You will never understand us,” a member of the Vienna Philharmonic told me, “unless you know his music.”The rose-bearing, prompted by a wish to honour the composer I love most, hardened into a ritual.

Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, who died last week at age 82, was, for much of the 1990s, one of the most articulate and persistent legislative advocates for school choice. Lieberman’s death prompted admiring statements from political figures across the spectrum who noted his contributions across a wide range of issues, from civil rights to the environment to national security.

In response to the recent letter by James Geffert, who wrote in regard to the migrant crisis that he would want these “brave people to be his neighbors”: As two retired New York City police officers living in Nevada for the past 12 years, my wife and I are just curious if he is aware of the migrants assaulting two NYPD officers and then giving the middle finger to the cameras after being released without bail.

Sport as a personal quest is not an original subject. The quest is why people play games in the first place; to find out how good they are. Sport as an examination of the national character is more difficult, for nations are untamed beasts, composed of many conflicting elements. In our hollowed-out culture, scarred by emotional excess, football has become a national pageant. Pity then the young men selected to speak for the nation with their feet.

Elections have consequences, and Nevada is facing the consequences of its most recent gubernatorial election right now. Gov. Joe Lombardo was faced with a clear choice last week when the Legislature presented him with three pieces of common-sense gun legislation. He could have made our state — the state that has suffered the largest mass shooting in American history — safer. But with the stroke of his pen, he decided not to. It should not be lost on any Nevada voter that former Gov.
