| Good morning. This was a shocking weekend, given the events at the White House Correspondents' dinner. We are glad no-one was hurt. And as you can see from our editorial below about a separate event, we're concerned about the dangers of political violence on both right and left. Today the editorial board looks at fertilizer, of all things, and observes that it is having a moment in Illinois How? Why? See below. Speaking of having a moment, so are smart glasses, quietly recording you as you walk down the street. We have things to say about that, too. We've written a lot about the power crisis in Illinois. Sunday we called for action before more companies remove their turbines from Illinois, leaving the state with neither the advantages of cleaner energy nor the kind of capacity that prevents electricity bills from rocketing. Our Opinion section is filled with interesting pieces on all manner of issues, from the future of quantum technology to how best to train Chicago workers about the use of artificial intelligence. Maybe smart to give that one a read. Clarence Page writes this week about the controversy involving the Southern Poverty Law Center and its funding of informants. Finally, John T. Shaw looks at Sen. Philip Hart of Michigan and finds a level of leadership that is sorely needed on Capitol Hill. Wishing you a happy and successful week. — Chris Jones, editorial page editor Submit an op-ed | Submit a letter to the editor | Meet the Tribune Editorial Board | Subscribe to this newsletter |
