Long Winter Rail Travel And Political Reflections

A reflective piece notes rail travel has run closer to on time this winter, while criticizing John L. Sullivan and asserting the need for restraint in politics. It argues Tammany Hall’s notoriety masks its genuine achievements and suggests its collapse is unlikely but could benefit democracy. It cites Cleveland and the aging Supreme Court bench and urges timely legislative action.

Post pets Sadie and Pete charm editorial office readers

The article celebrates the Post's pets Sadie and Pete in the editorial office. Sadie, aging yet cherished by writers, enjoys affection from the humorists and staff. Pete, a golden colored son, brings small feats like a turtle wheel indentation and a tumble through a wall hole, as they promise more as he grows.
