I just realized this today: clothes is not the plural of cloth.

During a phone call on June 17, Mr. Trump brought it up again, saying how proud he was of ending the military escalation. He mentioned that Pakistan was going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor for which he had been openly campaigning. The not-so-subtle implication, according to people familiar with the call, was that Mr. Modi should do the same.
The Indian leader bristled. He told Mr. Trump that U.S. involvement had nothing to do with the recent cease-fire. It had been settled directly between India and Pakistan.
Mr. Trump largely brushed off Mr. Modi’s comments, but the disagreement — and Mr. Modi’s refusal to engage on the Nobel — has played an outsize role in the souring relationship between the two leaders, whose once-close ties go back to Mr. Trump’s first term.

Targeting Iran’s Leaders, Israel Found a Weak Link: Their Bodyguards - The New York Times
Despite all the precautions, Israeli jets dropped six bombs on top of the bunker soon after the meeting began, targeting the two entrance and exit doors. Remarkably, nobody in the bunker was killed. When the leaders later made their way out of the bunker, they found the bodies of a few guards, killed by the blasts.
The attack threw Iran’s intelligence apparatus into a tailspin, and soon enough Iranian officials discovered a devastating security lapse: The Israelis had been led to the meeting by hacking the phones of bodyguards who had accompanied the Iranian leaders to the site and waited outside.

I disagree with the underlying premise of this article. Going to a top school is about more than future financial prospects. It’s the personal expression of the excellence on one’s mind. It’s about learning with some the best intellectual talents in the world including both the professors and classmates. It’s about training at a special place with special traditions and to be affiliated with those traditions for life.

Amtrak’s New Acela Trains Are Here. They’re Moving Slower Than the Old Ones. - WSJ
Slower than the older Acela? An absolute disgrace of American public infrastructure.
The NextGen Acela can reach a top speed of 160 miles an hour, according to its manufacturer. That is 10 mph faster than the older Acela fleet. But because of Amtrak’s old infrastructure, the new trains can only travel at top speed during certain portions of the journey. Amtrak previously has said the new trains could potentially shave 20 minutes off the travel time between New York City and Washington, D.C., reducing the duration to around 2½ hours.
