An editorial decision you can love. New York Times. June 28. Page A25. Top left. Headline: “There was an Earthquake Rumbling Under Queens.” Literally. There was an earthquake under Queens. The gist: This earthquake, like most earthquakes that happen in the area was not powerful enough to be felt. Typically, an earthquake must be of a 2 to 2.5 magnitude to be felt. Less in Queens because the earth crust in Queens is particularly susceptible carrying earthquake waves. Earthquakes in New York are not that rare, but are rarely strong enough to be felt.
Same newspaper. Same date. Same page. Top right. Headline: “5 Key Things to Know About Tiffany Caban.” The 31 year old gay Latina public defender appears to have won the District Attorney race in Queens. The District Attorney office will be a very different place from what it was under the recently deceased law and order octogenarian Richard Brown who had been in office for almost thirty years. A political earthquake. Felt throughout Queens. Throughout New York.
