The finches have had their ups and downs. In 1977 a drought left them with nothing to eat but big, tough seeds left from the year before: the next generation evolved bigger, blunter beaks. In 1983 heavy rains produced a surfeit of seeds; the birds responded by breeding madly. A 1985 drought left only small seeds on the ground, which favored smaller, quicker birds with thin beaks. The Grants’ conclusion: foreseeing how a species is going to evolve is as difficult as predicting the weather....

The memo was reportedly sent from Darroch to former British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in May 2018, after Johnson had traveled to Washington in a last-ditch bid to convince the Trump White House to remain in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. Those efforts were unsuccessful and Darroch wrote to Johnson, saying Trump was “set upon an act of diplomatic vandalism.” He reportedly suggested that Trump’s disdain for Obama, “personality reasons,” was a primary motivator behind the withdrawal....

Two of them were finding it amusing to move their hands back and forth in front of the electric eyes to make the urinals keep flushing. One exclaimed to the other, “Whattaya mean, a slut? She told me she’s been re-virginated!” They both broke up over that. “She actually said that? ‘Re-virginated’?” “Yeah! ‘Re-virginated’ or ‘born-again virgin,’ something like that!” “Maybe she thinks that’s what morning-after pills do!” They both broke up again....
