Almanac. Nov. 29 1890: first Army-Navy football game. Contest almost died in 1894. Teddy Roosevelt got game back in 1899. Harry Truman came to games. Kennedy in 1962. In 1963, score 21-15, Navy [The 1963 game was played on December 7. Remember Roger Staubach and Rollie Stichweh and the ending: Army’s Ken Waldrop falls 2 yards short of the goal line with 18 seconds left in 1963 Army-Navy game, and the Cadets can’t get off another play in 21-15 loss. ] First instant replay used in the 1963 game. Results to date: Navy 59 wins Army 49.
Fact: Day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day for plumbers.
Luke Burbank on "tale of the squirrel" on cooking squirrel in Bentonville, Arkansas. "It just is. Tree to table." Sustainable use of wild game as table fare. Note: buying or selling wild game meat is illegal. Squirrel sliders. Squirrel bisque. Eating what you hunt, even if it's a rodent. How does squirrel taste? Squirrel desserts, including ice cream. Winner: squirrel empanadas.
Erin Moriarty on David Remnick, 17 years at the New Yorker. He chooses the covers. Satire is about not going far enough. Good humored brainiac. Legendary cartoons. "The New Yorker Festival." Lenin's Tomb. Remnick started at the Washington Post. Married in October 1987; went to Moscow. Hired by Tina Brown. Brown left to form "Talk." Remnick brought stability to the New Yorker. Spirit of collaboration. Wife: the pragmatics of it is in my hands. Week after 9/11, all cartoons removed from the New Yorker.
Paula Pondstone on screen devices. Addiction hampers judgment. Brain retains information better when read from paper than from a screen. Our children will need fully functioning brains for the future.
Text: The tech industry has profited from the "Every child must have a laptop in the classroom" push, but education hasn't. Research shows that the brain retains information better read from paper than from a screen, and students who take notes by hand are more successful on tests than those who type their notes on a computer.

Moment of nature. Moose at Gros Ventre Wilderness in Wyoming.
