A New York moment: 

When I’m not out and about reporting, I spend most of my working hours writing in coffee shops around New York, and the coffee emporium where I feel most comfortable is Starbucks. Indie coffee shops have that extra-tasty espresso, but they often lack bathrooms (public restrooms in New York are vital and hard to come by), friendliness, or any food beyond a $7 cup of granola.

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg’s apologies for failures that led to two devastating plane crashes did not sway lawmakers or families of victims at a hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill. People who lost loved ones in the crashes of Boeing 737 Max planes owned by Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines sat behind Muilenberg at the hearing before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and held up photos of their dead relatives as he testified. The planes went down in October 2018 and March of this year, killing nearly 350 people.

A middle-of-the-night, $260 million settlement on Monday averted the first federal opioid trial, which was set to start hours later. Drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson will pay two Ohio counties a combined $215 million, according to Cuyahoga County’s attorney, with an additional $20 million in cash and $25 million worth of opioid treatment Suboxone coming from Israeli drugmaker Teva. None of the companies had to admit wrongdoing under the deal.
