Trump hails championship Alabama football team
Associated Press – April 11
President Donald Trump hailed the University of Alabama football team’s “win for the ages” in their latest championship season. Trump hosted Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban and his players at the White House on Tuesday to honor their fifth national title in nine years. The president attended the championship game in Atlanta, in which Alabama staged a second-half comeback to defeat Georgia 26-23 in overtime. Trump said backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s winning touchdown pass in overtime to fellow freshman DeVonta Smith after a sack “will go down as one of the most exciting finishes in college football history — of any sport.”

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ turns 50: Why HAL endures
Christian Science Monitor – April 3
In the 50 years since the US premiere of Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey,” virtually everyone who has used a computer has experienced countless HAL moments: “an unexpected error has occurred,” goes the standard digital non-apology. The machine whose sole purpose is to execute instructions has chosen, for reasons that are as obscure as they are unalterable, to do the opposite. . . . “One of the things that makes HAL a really enduring character is he faces us with that kind of archetypal technological problem, which is that it’s a mirror of our own biases and predilections and things that we are maybe not conscious of,” says Alan Lazer, who teaches courses including “The Films of Stanley Kubrick” at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

However, she also noted that, “Excessively high state tax burdens, especially if imposed unfairly, will retard economic growth.”
