    I’d recommend reading the piece on divorce, just to see the NYT forcing itself to quote someone who says that people “now” see divorce as a personal failure. It’s a typical Times piece otherwise, which spends its second half reassuring readers that divorce can be done right, without harming children, and can even make you “groovy” (the actual word used!). All very quaint.

    and can even make you “groovy”

    Funny how it talks about the question of how divorce feels as if it were talking about the latest fashion – instead of recognizing that, yes, of course divorce means you failed at marriage – and, yes, of course it’s going to have a negative impact on your kids.
