Message from Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci: Next steps on the Boeing 737-9 MAX - YouTube – Excellent response by Alaska Airlines. This is not really Alaska Airlines’s fault. It’s more a problem with Boeing’s quality control and use of subcontractors to make important components. I like hearing that Alaska Airlines will start overseeing the Boeing production line. More airlines should do this.

Getting In | The New Yorker

In the wake of the Jewish crisis, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton chose to adopt what might be called the “best graduates” approach to admissions. France’s École Normale Supérieure, Japan’s University of Tokyo, and most of the world’s other élite schools define their task as looking for the best students—that is, the applicants who will have the greatest academic success during their time in college. The Ivy League schools justified their emphasis on character and personality, however, by arguing that they were searching for the students who would have the greatest success after college. They were looking for leaders, and leadership, the officials of the Ivy League believed, was not a simple matter of academic brilliance.

My Top Five Fountain Pens

1. Lamy 2000 - The greatest pen of all time. No question. Great design. Great durability. Great nib.
2. Parker 51 - I have 2 original 51’s. They have the smoothest nibs and best ergonomics of any pen I’ve ever used.
3. TWSBI 580 - Smooth nib, easy to disassemble. A $500-quality pen at one-tenth of the cost.
4. Lamy Vista - There is something about this pen. It’s clear/demonstrator. The nib is very good. It’s easy to break down and clean. It’s cheap.
5. Kaweco Sport - Smooth nib, portable. A lot of styles to choose from.

How Lloyd Austin’s Deputy Ended Up Running the Pentagon From the Beach - WSJ

While Austin was in the hospital—and White House and senior officials at the Pentagon were unaware who was in charge—the U.S. carried out a deadly drone strike against an Iranian-backed militia leader in Baghdad, and issued an ultimatum to Yemen’s Houthi rebel group to cease its attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea or face the consequences.

This is truly amazing.
