As Jefferson Morley, who’s published several books about the CIA and written extensively about the JFK assassination, notes, if people believe that the government is capable of concealing facts about an attempt on the life of a US president, that’s probably because it’s demonstrably done so and is actively doing so. Similarly, if people believe…
Even as I’ve walked through New York City, I’ve felt uneasy some nights—and I’m a native, born and raised here. I’m not alone. During my last visit to a museum, a close friend had her pocket-sized pepper spray taken away at the security check. She told me she’d been carrying it for years. And it’s…
We rate refrigerators based on their thermostat control, temperature uniformity, noise output, ease of use, and efficiency. Every refrigerator we test gets wired with 15 temperature sensors. We then monitor these thermocouples for more than a month in one of three temperature-controlled chambers. These results tell us how well a refrigerator maintains a set temperature…
Skip sprays for kids. Children are more likely to squirm when they’re being sprayed, so the spray could inadvertently go toward their face and be inhaled. CR recommends that caregivers avoid using spray sunscreens on kids unless no other product is available. And if you have to use a spray, spray the product into your…

The Elevation and AT4 trims both come with the same 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 that’s in the current Yukon and Yukon XL. This engine returned 17 mpg and 16 mpg overall, respectively, in our tests of the 2021 Tahoe and Suburban. A 420-hp, 6.2-liter V8 is standard on the AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate, and…
There are plenty of reasons to consider a side-by-side refrigerator. They’re distinct for their dedicated tall and narrow compartments for fresh and frozen food. Cost: Side-by-side refrigerators are usually less expensive than French-door models. From 2019 to 2024, members surveyed by CR paid a median price of $1,388 for side-by-sides with icemakers, less than the…
Leah Feiger: To be fair, a militia of 2,500 across the United States that’s carefully organized on Telegram and promotes the use of armed weapons as a response to anything from natural disasters to fake claims of election fraud is still really concerning. I’m concerned. David Gilbert: Absolutely, and I think that gets lost. When…

But there are a few performance aspects that…
