Editorial Comment:  It pays to shop early

Inserted here is a link to a RAND Corporation offering, a free downloadable text of 295 pages… It is provocatively entitled, “The Future of Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Opioids.” It is the closest I will have to a Thanksgiving gift for you.

Now for the best therapeutic Thanksgiving or Christmas gift that you can give yourself:  A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a creation that among its many overlapping elements includes an examination of the relationship between an alcoholic father and son.  It is an extraordinary film, in a long sequence of productions by or with Tom Hanks that seem always to be described as “…his best movie yet.”
