How many potential medicines will we lose in felling the most biodiverse forest on Earth? And for what — cattle farms and timber? This is pure stupidity.

Did you catch Adam Gopnik on Henry Louis Gates Jr’s latest book? There was a moment just after the Civil War when we nearly achieved restorative justice for black Americans. But we didn’t hold confederate leaders accountable. The country regressed. Telling. nyer.cm/EbtdpUY
