Hello, Insiders.
Here are highlights from this week’s Times Insider:
Ebola. The threat goes on. Maybe. Inside the nerve center of New York City’s 24-hour monitoring operation.
China agrees to help curb carbon emissions. O.K. So what does that mean? A reporter’s questions.
Speaking of reporters’ questions: How does a Times reporter get the story on ISIS, an outfit with no spokesman and stated antipathy toward Western media?
Coffin. Not casket. Rappers. Not rap singers. Inside The Times’s manual of style, a clear, cautionary guide to modern usage.
Book reviewer tell-all: Dwight Garner on reading, reviewing and avoiding blindness.
Reading The Times with Patricia Marx. More than one commenter called her the funniest woman in America. See for yourself.
Finally, if you missed it last week, have a look at Gretchen Reynolds’s deep dish on fitness and exercise. Why not? Wellness is a story with, well, legs.
Enjoy.
