In Sedona, a Rust-Covered Home Is Disguised by the Desert Landscape

Ian and Anne Rowland are married software engineers who can work from almost anywhere. And that, during New England’s long gray winters, means anywhere but Cambridge, Mass. “We wanted a place that felt very different from our home, and a building that reminded us of that difference, even if we were sitting inside, working,” Ian says.That explains why they built a vacation house in Sedona, Ariz. If you’re trying to avoid gray, there is no better place than that Yavapai County town, which is set among some of the reddest rocks on earth.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The Texas Immigration Law Gambit

Frustrated by the Biden Administration’s immigration failures, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week signed a bill making it a state crime for migrants to cross the southern border illegally. The flood of migrants is a major state problem, but the only effective solution lies in Congress.The Texas law makes it a misdemeanor to cross the border illegally, punishable by up to six months in jail. Foreign migrants who attempt to enter Texas after being deported could be charged with a felony. A federal grant of asylum, lawful presence, or protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals would be an “affirmative defense” from prosecution.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Sandra Day O’Connor, Champion of Federalism

Sandra Day O’Connor, who died Friday at age 93, is being remembered as the first woman to serve as a Justice of the Supreme Court. But her far more consequential legacy was as a champion of the role of the states in the Constitution. Ronald Reagan nominated O’Connor in 1981 while she was a state judge in Arizona. That in itself was unusual since she wasn’t on most short lists for the High Court. But the Gipper had promised to appoint a woman, and at the time there weren’t many women on the federal bench.

Sandra Day O’Connor, First Woman on Supreme Court, Dies

Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court and its most powerful justice for much of her tenure, died Friday at age 93. O’Connor, who retired in 2006 after 25 years on the court, died in Phoenix of complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness, the court said in an announcement.Justice O’Connor was an Arizona state judge in 1981 when Republican President Ronald Reagan, fulfilling a campaign pledge to break the male monopoly on the high court, selected her to succeed retired Justice Potter Stewart. She ushered in a wave of women marking “firsts” in the early 1980s, along with America’s first woman astronaut, Sally Ride, and first woman on a major-party presidential ticket, Geraldine Ferraro.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Got $1,350? Spend a Night in a Space Observatory. Here’s What It’s Like.

Got $1,350? Spend a Night in a Space Observatory. Here’s What It’s Like.

FROM THE TOP of Kitt Peak National Observatory, just 50 miles from downtown Tucson, the autumn night sky blazed; the Milky Way was so dense with stars it looked like a luminescent cloud. Jupiter shone like a beacon—so bright I wondered how I’d never noticed it before. And that was before we were directed to the telescopes. After lifetimes in cities where urban lights blot out the night sky, my wife, Deb, and I have sought out stargazing opportunities. Count us among the many who have popularized so-called dark-sky tourism, in which star seekers travel to find better viewing conditions. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The Evidence on School Choice Is Still Mixed

Nov. 19, 2023 10:38 am ETRoland Fryer’s diagnosis of the inadequacy of half-baked school-choice programs is spot on (“America Needs Real School Choice,” op-ed. Nov. 14). States that wish to provide educational freedom to their schoolchildren should follow the example of Arizona, which last year became the first state in the union to expand education savings accounts to every student. But even Arizona now spends roughly $7,000 a year for each student that enrolls in an ESA, compared with over $14,000 a year for each public-school student, according to the Goldwater Institute. Politicians who profess to value equality of opportunity would do well to consider allowing each child to pursue an education according to his unique needs.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
