Yesterday Abdul El-Sayed spoke to a room filled with Michigan Jewish Democrats. They lined up to talk to him. I was the only reporter there. Here’s what he told them (and me); what Jewish AG Dana Nessel urged the crowd to do; and why many think he’s still not there yet. www.jta.org/2026/08/31/p...

100 years ago libraries were running out of dictionaries because so many people were checking them out to do crossword puzzles, so New York ruled they could be used for “legitimate purposes” only
Newspaper headline: “Dictionary Shortage in Library Result of Cross-Word Puzzle Craze”
