The New York Times is based on both innovation and tradition. With a structure built for protection rather than profit, the Ochs-Sulzberger family, a dynasty that has now lasted five generations, has managed to remarkably hold onto control of America’s most prestigious newspaper. Few media empires make it through such changes without breaking up, so their legacy is especially intriguing. Adolph Ochs bought the New-York Daily Times in 1896 with the intention of restoring journalism’s honor as well as saving a failing company. His now-famous pledge to publish “All the News That’s Fit to Print” developed into a moral compass…

In recent years, the Tylenol and autism lawsuit has become one of the most emotionally charged legal and medical sagas, upsetting both doctors and parents. Once thought to be among the safest over-the-counter pain relievers, Tylenol is currently at the center of a heated discussion about corporate responsibility and prenatal safety.

Johnson & Johnson and its consumer…

The 94-year-old billionaire has not been charged with any crimes in the US and has long been known for his wide-ranging charitable activities. The Department of Justice’s recent orders to “draw up investigative plans” against his network, however, have sparked a political uproar that is eerily reminiscent of an era of swift accusations and hazy distinctions between justice and ideology. According to Axios and The New York Times, by late September 2025, a senior Justice Department official had directed a number of U.S.…

A particularly complicated picture has emerged in recent months from federal documents that were unsealed in Brooklyn. From 2009 to 2019, Rubin, a…

The occasional flutter in the chest usually goes away as soon as it appears. Others, however, may experience the same feeling as a sign of something much more serious: tachycardia, a condition in which the heart suddenly beats faster than 100 beats per minute even when at rest. The frequently asked question, “Can you die from tachycardia?” refers to medical urgency rather than hyperbole. Because it can result from both benign and potentially fatal causes, tachycardia is incredibly complex. For some, it’s just an adrenaline-fueled rhythm that naturally settles as a reaction to stress, caffeine, or emotional strain. In others,…

By the beginning of 1854, there was a restlessness in the air in Washington. In Congress, expansion, ambition, and moral debate were crashing into each other like erratic storms. A man who was both feared and admired for his political savvy and keen intelligence, Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, came forward with a plan that he thought would ease tensions but instead stoked one of the most intense political fires in American history. The goal of his proposal, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, was to organize the vast western territories so that a transcontinental railroad could be built and they could…
