Editorial: Hurricanes Named After Women in 1956
The weather bureau selects female names such as Anna Betsy Clara Dora and others for hurricanes, a system the journal now defends as clear for forecasters and headlines. It notes past objections have faded as reports show names aid warning and tracking, and stresses storms are inherently female designated as hurricanes, not himmicanes.

Teens grouped by the $1 minimum wage debate

Most teens already employed stay, but 17 or 18 year olds seeking summer work may be hurt as employers hesitate to hire learners at the new rate. Some say youths should not work, yet many gain ends meet and some trades become lifelong occupations. Congress should recognize this teen labor pool.
