Thanks Nick for reminding us that there is more to life on this planet than just 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

I greatly enjoyed these articles. I can no longer read much in the Wash. Post or NY Times without feeling helpless and anguished. And angry.

Nice life! I go to the White Mountains of New Hampshire whenever I can get away.

Nicholas, great article. We had our first great experiences with cider (see-dray) in the basque region of Espana. The waiter poured it over out of his raised arm into the glass that he was not looking at! 90% hit the glass giving it more carbonation.

We’ll have to venture over to your place to see if you can pour like the pros!

Best,

Basque cider is really wonderful. Why, almost as good as Oregon cider! :)

We have tried several times to buy your Greatest Hits cider quartet but the website won't allow us to load it into our basket! So how do we buy it?

I can' seem to start an order on the website. I would love to buy the 4 pack but can find no place to add to my cart not to mention complete a purchase.

You are so fortunate. I tried to read your book A Path Appears, and I got stuck on the part where a single mom needed a functioning washer and there was some comment about a boyfriend, and I thought, why didn't you get her a new washer. It felt like you were on

Star Trek and could not interfere. I could not read anymore. You are so fortunate with your education, your career and the land you own or inherited.

Thanks for your comment. We do of course help out, but it's complicated when tied to reporting because there's a strong principle in journalism that you don't compensate people for interviews; the fear is that then you incentivize people to tell you compelling stories that you want to hear. Yet how can you not help when someone is in trouble? That's a difficult path to navigate, but one I've been navigating for decades.

You didn't help her. You are fortunate and because of that, I don't think that you could see that she needed help right then and there.

Mr. Kristof frequently told readers how they could help, and many, many of us did. But I hope you can see his point about not compensating people for telling their stories. That would most certainly lead unscrupulous folks to make up all sorts of misfortunes in the hope of getting freebies. It would undermine everything Mr. Kristof has dedicated his career to doing.
