On Thursday, the Met said Mr. Slatkin, the music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestr
It’s Wagner’s Birthday, but We Get the Gifts (Published 2013)
Love his music or hate his personality, the one thing you can’t do with Wagner is ignore him, especially this year, as the music world celebrates his bicentenary.

Wagner has also in some ways been as important to the history of recording

Opinion | Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person (Published 2016)
IT’S one of the things we are most afraid might happen to us. We go to great lengths to avoid it. And yet we do it all the same: We marry the wrong person. Partly, it’s because we have a bewildering array of problems that emerge when we try to get close to others. We seem normal only to those who don’t know us very well. In a wiser, more self-aware society than our own, a standard question on any
Review: The Rise of the ‘Matchmakers’ of the Digital Economy (Published 2016)
Many of the young giants of the digital economy share a common characteristic. They are platforms that provide valued connections among their participants.

Justice Clarence Thomas Breaks His Silence (Published 2013)
WASHINGTON — One of the abiding mysteries at the Supreme Court is why Justice Clarence Thomas has failed to say a word in almost seven years of arguments. On Monday, when he finally broke his silence, the mystery was replaced by a riddle: Just what did Justice Thomas say? The justices were considering the qualifications of a death penalty defense lawyer in Louisiana, and Justice Antonin Scalia not

How Stanford Took On the Giants of Economics (Published 2015)
The center of gravity for economic thought in the United States has long been found along the two miles in Cambridge, Mass., that run between Harvard University and M.I.T. But there is new competition for that title, and it is quite a bit farther west. Stanford University has lured an all-star lineup of economists to Palo Alto, Calif., in the last few years — and fended off Harvard’s and the Massa
The Top Books of 2015 (Published 2015)
In his posthumous book of essays, “And Yet …,” published this year, Christopher Hitchens criticized “the rebarbative notion that people should be more likely to buy and enjoy books at Christmas.” Real readers, after all, consume them all year long. Mr. Hitchens has a valid point, yet the year’s end is a time for summing up, in books as in other things. Hence the lists that follow. The New York Tim
