Oskar Schell, protagonist of Jonathan Safran Foer’s 9-11 novel “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” is bright and amazing in ways precocious and exhausting.
The 9-year-old inventor, tambourine player and only child of Thomas and Linda Schell had been tested for Asperger’s syndrome. The diagnosis was “inconclusive,” the 2007 novel stated.

A calendar pushing Denver Public Schools’ start date later by a handful of days was approved by the Board of Education on Thursday night.

When I was a kid, Thursday was cleaning day. Every Thursday the entire house was cleaned from top to bottom. I can’t remember at what age I began doing chores but I remember doing chores as far back as I can remember. These days, it seems that fewer children are doing chores. Is this media [...]

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction….The chain reaction of evil–hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars–must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the [...]
