Railroads seek to end long haul passenger trains
The New York Central and Pennsylvania lines plan to apply to the ICC to drop long haul passenger service by year end. The move would end famed trains like the Twentieth Century Limited and Spirit of St Louis, impacting millions of loyal riders who prefer rail travel over air. Railroads cite losses of tens of millions as a core reason. Modern sleeper options may revive interest, with Sleeper Coach eliminating extra fares and appealing to travelers seeking overnight trips.

Beer Drinker's Heart Linked to Heavy Daily Beer Intake
The American Journal of Medicine reported that 91 beer drinkers in Quebec, Omaha, and Minneapolis developed heart disease after five years of consuming three to seven quarts daily, with 37 deaths. Symptoms included shortness of breath and a bluish tint from oxygen deficiency. While two Canadian breweries used cobalt to prevent overfoaming, that trace has been eliminated and no cobalt is used now. The cause likely rests on excessive long-term consumption rather than cobalt.

An essay argues small businesses fail partly from owners' poor service to customers. It cites rude shopkeepers in New York and a hostile diner's effect on commerce, contrasts Swiss courtesy and Castilian village cafes, and warns sociable service sustains profits. It then shifts to a portrait of Jose de la Borda, a Mexican-era benefactor who funded Santa Prisca Church in Taxco, built gardens, and supported locals with lavish gifts, including diamonds and gold work.
