The food writer Michael Pollan, for instance, asks in his one essay on climate (entitled “Why Bother?”) what the point would be of his doing anything about climate change when he knows “full well” that, as he says, “halfway around the world there lives my evil twin, some carbon-footprint doppelgänger in Shanghai or Chongqing . . . who’s positively itching to replace every last pound of CO2 I’m struggling no longer to emit.”
Wonder Drug: The Secret History of Thalidomide in America and Its Hidden Victims by Jennifer Vanderbes
We have sufficient raw material for 15,000,000 tablets…we are ready for plant production….I do not feel…that we should wait for final approval of our New Drug Application. —William S. Merrell Company memo, October 1960 from Wonder Drug: The Secret History of Thalidomide in America and Its Hidden Victims by Jennifer Vanderbes
After several months, he mustered the courage to invite the elusive “Dr. Oldham” to the Civic Opera, where Frances sat transfixed by the performance—until she suddenly checked her watch and excused herself. Returning with her bulging purse mysteriously clutched to her chest, Frances matter-of-factly told Kelse that she had just peed into a jar for a pharmacology department experiment. Kelse, warm but direct, was not a man who ruffled easily: In a gesture foreshadowing a lifetime of devotion, he offered to hold Frances’s jar of urine for the night.

SERMERSSUAQ (INNUIT) Sermerssuaq was so powerful that she could lift a kayak on the tips of three fingers. She could kill a seal merely by drumming on its head with her fists. She could rip asunder a fox or hare. Once she arm-wrestled with Qasordlanguaq, another powerful woman, and beat her so easily that she said: 'Poor Qasordlanguag could not even beat one of her own lice at arm-wrestling!' Most men she could beat and then she would tell them: 'Where were you when the testicles were given out?' Sometimes this Sermerssuaq would show off her clitoris. It was so big that the skin of a fox would not fully cover it. Aja, and she was the mother of nine children, too!
The heat in the atmosphere and oceans was only one symptom of the fever spreading across the world. Climate scientists and economists once thought that Canada would thrive as the planet heated up, but Canada is now plagued by heat- and drought-fueled wildfires from June to October. In 2023 con-tinent-spanning blazes destroyed 45.7 million acres of forest, more than double the previous record, while sending toxic smoke down into the United States and turning skies as far south as New York City an eerie, alien orange 8º A native case of malaria was re-

"Casseroles made from corn, noodles, beans, and potatoes made frequent appearances. A dish called “Spanish rice” (many dishes were identified as Spanish simply because they contained tomatoes) was a popular casserole made with fried ham, bacon, or salt pork, chopped onion, tomato, diced bell pepper, and boiled rice, all combined and baked or warmed on the stove top." The portion "(many dishes were identified as Spanish simply because they contained tomatoes)" is highlighted.

Paul Galinger, HP-5, a tall, thin man with trembling hands and slow speech, was fifth in line. He was a machine shop foreman whose handicapped son had died the previous year. Doctors diagnosed Galinger, then fifty-six, as suffering from depression and an incurable nerve disorder now called Lou Gehrig's disease. "So far he has cooperated quite well but has a difficult personality," Bassett confided to Langham.21 "The prognosis is poor and fatal termination can be expected within a year." Galinger was injected on November 30, 1945, and died on April 29, 1946. Even before he was dead, Bassett had begun making plans to retrieve his organs. "This may be counting our chickens before they are hatched but I thought it might be well to settle on some of these details before we are confronted with the necessity of obtaining specimens.22 I presume you would like a sample of blood from the heart or lungs?" Bassett inquired in a letter to Langham.

"While the firm did employ a well-regarded chief risk officer, Madelyn Antoncic, who had a PhD in economics and had worked at Goldman Sachs, her input was virtually nil. She was often asked to leave the room when issues concerning risk came up at executive committee meetings, and in late 2007, she was removed from the committee altogether."
