but there is no question

The Growing Shadow of Political Money

JAN. 24, 2015

the new York Times

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

SundayReview | Editorial

Like bettors checking Las Vegas odds on the Super Bowl, specialists in the nation’s booming campaign finance industry are tracking the action in the 2016 elections, not so much to assess the candidates as to see how much of a payout is likely this time around in the grand casino of American politics.

The record total of $6.3 billion spent on the presidential and congressional elections of 2012 is only the starting point. Estimates of next year’s likely total are running between $7.5 billion and $8 billion. This moneyed universe is certain to keep expanding as the political industry’s managers and their candidates master the unlimited fund-raising and spending devices they now have at hand.

The Worsening Ebola Crisis

 

OCT. 13, 2014

The New York Times

The Opinion Pages | Editorial

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

Recent days have brought two alarming developments in the struggle to contain Ebola. The campaign against the epidemic in West Africa, the only sure way to prevent the spread of the virus to the United States and other countries, fell even further behind. And the discovery that a nurse treating an Ebola patient in Dallas had herself become infected despite wearing protective gear raised questions about the readiness of American hospitals to deal with Ebola patients.

Grounded Travelers

Turn to Buses in Droves

December 29, 2010
The New York Times
By NATE SCHWEBER

Reuben Burgos, who works for Def Jam records, had to get to New York City from Los Angeles to help out at the big New Year’s Eve party in Times Square.

Unfortunately, his Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles International Airport to La Guardia Airport on Monday was canceled. So he had to improvise.

“They told me I could get a flight to Syracuse today,” Mr. Burgos, 29, said inside the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Wednesday afternoon. “So I did, and I took the bus from there. It’s been a long trip.”

All day Wednesday, would-be airline passengers staggered out of the Greyhound and Trailways bus terminal gates, many of them with similar stories. They were forced to travel by land because the blizzard had grounded their flights, and they had to get to New York for work, airline connections and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Lisa Gargamelli, 33, a bill collector who lives in Branford, Conn., flew to Milwaukee for Christmas to visit her boyfriend, who is a truck driver. When she learned on Monday that her flight had been canceled, she hitched a ride with her boyfriend in his 18-wheeler to Baltimore. Then she took a bus to Port Authority before continuing home on the Metro-North Railroad.

“It was tiring and long,” Ms. Gargamelli said. “I will be happy to be home in my own bed tonight.”

Abiola Billey, 30, a law clerk from St. John’s in Antigua, went to Miami for Christmas and planned to fly to New York on Sunday to visit family before heading home on Thursday. When her JetBlue flight on Sunday was canceled, and she was told that she could not get another flight to New York until Friday, her next call was to Greyhound. She spent nearly 36 hours on a bus in order to have less than 12 hours in New York before her trip to Antigua.

“Christmas was nice,” Ms. Billey said, “but everything after that went downhill.”

Bus companies added extra shifts of workers to deal with the glut of passengers, many of whom found train seats as hard to find as plane seats, officials said. William Lassiter, a Greyhound driver for 31 years, said this week had been on par with Thanksgiving weekend, among the year’s busiest for bus travel.

“It’s been a little overwhelming,” Mr. Lassiter said.
