“To Close a School: A Decision Rooted in Data, but Colored by Nuance” was an article that interested me due to having an issue with the school system. Since my career path is a teacher, education articles are always a top priority with me. “Spinach and Peanuts, With a Dash of Radiation” also got my attention. Peanuts are an every day food with me, not so much spinach, but peanuts, definitely.

Apparently it was ground hog’s day yesterday. I was unaware of the, but I found the article “Reclusive Staten Island Groundhog Bites Mayor” to be quite interesting. I found the article amusing and light, a contrast to other major events such as the article “Wall St., a Financial Epithet, Stirs Outrage.” I didn’t even bother reading that one.

“A Heimlich In Every Pot.” The title itself lured me in, but then after reading the lead I was hooked. There wasn’t anyone famous, but in some way it had an impact on the reader. For example, anyone who has ever choked before might know the not many people know the Heimlich.
