A colorless, odorless gas, radon causes an estimated 21,000 cancer deaths each year. While the announcement was short on details, two goals are to raise awareness of radon dangers and to create jobs for radon testing and mitigation. “This Action Plan represents an historic interagency cooperation with the potential to reduce exposure to radon, including for people and families that do not have the resources to make the simple fixes necessary to protect their loved ones,” the Environmental Protection Agency announced on its website. One in 15 homes has elevated radon levels, according to the EPA. The agency recommends running a...

We both have lots of misgivings abou...

(Five today; five tomorrow — and more to come…) Clear out the toys. I’ve always had that pioneer yearning: true happiness lies in each kid owning just one book and one toy. Unfortunately we’re terrible role models. And I always think that each toy that enters the house is going to function as a kind of key that unlocks Alex. What will he enjoy? What will engage him, slow him down to enjoy something for longer than a few minutes? These days, the welter of mismatched pieces and tons of plastic animals distracts him, making him think he has to have out each and every thing at once. Since we don’t...
