JFC, NYT!
Jesus was a Jew, not an Arab. Yes, it’s unlikely that he was blond with blue eyes, unless he was a mutant, but c’mon.

America’s Love Affair With Cars
It’s a sad end of an era. As noted there, for decades, a car was not just a symbol of, but an actualization of freedom for young people. I got my own license, and had my own car, when I turned sixteen, but new technologies seem to have overtaken that.
