We were all getting a little complacent. We were led to believe that Salman Rushdie hid in Britain for more than a decade, was somewhat exposed in the United States for a few more decades, and then was forgotten by his persecutors. Khomeini, who declared the fatwa in 1989, died a few months after Rushdie “disappeared from the front pages,” in the evocative words of Martin Amis. But Rushdie himself was not satisfied. When a young man interrupted a speech and stabbed him multiple times in Chautauqua in August 2022, he said: “When I saw this ferocious figure charging toward…

I’m perplexed by the wave of state-versus-state rankings that stream into my…

Protein is essential for our health, but we may not be getting enough. Nutritional guidelines state that the average adult should consume at least 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight (PDF). For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kilograms), you should aim to consume about 55 to 68 grams of protein per day. Active people, those who lift weights, compete in sports, or work strenuous jobs may find it beneficial to consume more protein than the recommended minimum amount. Older adults, especially those at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), can also benefit from…
It’s never difficult to guess when our bodies get tired. It all shows in our posture, the look in our eyes, and even our demeanor. And it turns out it shows up on our skin as well. In other words, dull and dehydrated. Appearance is proof that our complexion needs a wake-up call. If this is the case, we recommend that you try a rejuvenating cream.
