How Much is Too Much?
We reveal some preliminary results from our group journalism project “Are You Being Gouged?” comparing the prices of milk, lettuce and beer and look for the reasons for price disparities between neighborhoods and types of stores. Also, Jeffrey Toobin on the opening of the Supreme Court session; Robert Draper on the president’s character; and race and class within the Black middle class. Ted Koppel talks about the burden of California's overcrowded prison system. And, Mets fans share their five stages of grief.
