Much of the time, I look for relatable stories in books and movies, but I’ve found two recent true-story films deeply enjoyable, despite the fact that, while I feel very connected to the topic, I really cannot relate. I’ve now watched the movie “Nyad” two times. This biopic of champion swimmer Diana Nyad is a deeply enjoyable plunge into the swimmer’s r…

I’m in Dallas. I’m writing a blog about school reform in Houston. Weird. I know. So here we go.
Sometimes I write about school reform in Houston on my Facebook page, where most if not all of my readers are in Dallas. I am retired now, but I still carry a significant comet trail of regular Facebook readers left over from my very long career as a local newspaper columnist. I expect to lose most of them gradually over time as a result of funerals.

Time magazine’s online presentation of last week’s cover story, based on extensive interviews with Donald Trump. The story made news around the world, and it demonstrated one way journalism can cope with Donald Trump.This post is about two splashy developments in the mainstream media world, one of them from last week and the other in the past two days. I want to highlight what I consider an under-appreciated aspect of the first, and to join the ongoing debate about the second.

One Thing We Need to Learn
2024-12-04
Hi friends. Short newsletter this week, as this was not what I was intending to send, but I wanted to point out a significant underlying dynamic in the Andrew Huberman piece in New York Magazine. I think we can learn a lot from this pattern in real time—and start to break it. For those who missed it, Kerry Howley wrote a piece about five women who all b…

One-Pan Dijon Chicken and Pearl Couscous
2024-12-04
Hello! Welcome back! Skip all the rambling and scroll right to the bottom of this post for a printer-friendly PDF of the recipe only.
My ethos here at Saturday Table is to create recipes that elevate the every day and make any day of the week feel a little more like Saturday. Today’s recipe hits the nail on the head.
It’s a one-pan, one-hour meal (a lot of that is hands-off oven time) that’s easy enough to whip up any night of the week but special enough to make for a dinner party.
