Headlines From The Times - What does it take for a doctor to lose their license?
The Medical Board of California was established to protect patients by licensing doctors and investigating complaints when things go wrong.
But even when it accuses a doctor of causing patients to lose limbs, become paralyzed or die, the board often lets the doctor continue to practice. There’s no limit on the number of times the board can put a doctor on probation.
Today we speak with L.A. Times investigative reporter Jack Dolan. He, along with our colleague Kim Christensen, looked into how and why the medical board rarely takes away doctors’ licenses and has long pushed back against calls to toughen its approach. We’ll also hear from people who were operated on by California doctors who were on probation and woke up from their surgeries worse off than they were before.

World Book Club - Crime and Punishment: Fyodor Dostoyevsky
To mark the bicentenary of the birth of the great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky World Book Club revisits Crime and Punishment in an edition recorded at the elegant Pushkin House, London’s Russian cultural hub, in 2016.
To help us explore Dostoyevsky’s haunting classic thriller Harriett Gilbert was joined by acclaimed Russian writer Boris Akunin and Russian scholar Dr Sarah Young.
Consumed by the idea of his own special destiny, Rashkolnikov is drawn to commit a terrible crime. In the aftermath, he is dogged by madness, guilt and a calculating detective, and a feverish cat-and-mouse game unfolds.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Hot prospects: a sobering IPCC report
The UN climate body’s latest doorstopper report is unequivocal: climate change is human-caused, and already here—and 1.5°C of warming is looking ever harder to avoid. In Bolivia, debate still rages as to whether a 2019 election was rigged, or a coup; the people want pandemic relief, not paralysed politics. And investigating the received wisdom of the “difficult second novel”.

You're Wrong About - Summer Book Club: “The Satan Seller” (The Debunking!)

The Best One Yet - 🚦 “Crypto traffic lights: Good or bad?” — Levi’s corporate FOMO. The Fantastic American 4. Bitcoin’s speed limit.
The Chief of Wall Street said that crypto is the “Wild West,” so we’re looking at Bitcoin’s Traffic Light problem (or is it an opportunity?). Levi’s just bought Beyond Yoga because it’s got a case of Corporate FOMO. And the Big 3 car companies just said they’ll go 50% electric by 2030. But we need to start saying The Fantastic American Four.
