Candidates are promising both inclusivity and a reevaluation of equity programs, both “core academics” and more extracurriculars. “How well a candidate sells these conflicting ideas as cohesive policy,” writes @dhritimgupta, “may decide who scrapes by.”

Looking back, hallway health care was actually "the golden era" of Dr Raghu Venugopal’s 18-year career. "We're now in the era of chair medicine." .

“Counter to his brand as a conservative, Ford is clearly prepared to spend heavily—and break things—in order to leave his mark on a city that didn't want him as mayor.”
