Poaching of seniors who committed elsewhere this year. Syracuse offered some families $20K, $30K/year. “They wouldn’t play ball with us for months but then they dropped a sack of 80 grand on us,” one dad told me. That's when he decided to negotiate more. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

The DCA crash is a hometown story for the Post, but it's the NYT that's providing a lot more news about it. nytimes.com/2025/02/06/bus…

The headline in the NYT the Sunday morning I was born (happened the day before). 13 years later, the Shuttle Challenger would explode shortly after take off.
