She plays a sport that requires the mental focus of instantaneously letting go of losing points and moving on because there are a lot of excruciating ones no matter how great you are, continual regrouping and re-inventing: dwell on them, you lose confidence; lose confidence and you lose. She is also superbly conditioned, given that a female tennis player may run about three miles in a match without the luxury of coming out of the game because you feel winded or lost too much money gambling with teammates the night before on the charter and would rather mope on the bench....

Worrying about social status is a surprisingly good motivator for people to go green.

“In addition
to all the weaknesses, dilemmas and temptations that impede every pilgrim’s
progress, the Catholic who holds political office in a pluralistic
democracy—who is elected to serve Jews and Muslims, atheists and Protestants,
as well as Catholics—bears special responsibility. He or she undertakes to help
create conditions under which all can live with a maximum of dignity and with a
reasonable degree of freedom; where everyone who chooses may hold beliefs
different from specifically Catholic ones—sometimes contradictory to them;
where the laws protect people’s right to divorce, to use birth control and even
to choose abortion.
In fact,
Catholic public officials take an oath to preserve the Constitution that
guarantees this freedom. And they do so gladly. Not because they love what
others do with their freedom, but because they realize that in guaranteeing
freedom for all, they guarantee our right to be Catholics: our right to pray,
to use the sacraments, to refuse birth control devices, to reject abortion, not
to divorce and remarry if we believe it to be wrong.
The Catholic
public official lives the political truth most Catholics through most of
American history have accepted and insisted on: the truth that to assure our
freedom we must allow others the same freedom, even if occasionally it produces
conduct by them which we would hold to be sinful.
I protect my
right to be a Catholic by preserving your right to believe as a Jew, a
Protestant or non-believer, or as anything else you choose.
We know that
the price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that they might someday
force theirs on us.”

Prime Minister Theresa May for an update on the criminal investigation
into the Grenfell Tower fire in a House of Commons session. She was not
able to oblige him. He demanded that all relevant documents relating to the refurbishment be seized; and that corporate manslaughter charges be considered.
