Credit Richard Perry/The New York Times IN recent years, New York City has invested over $2 billion in spectacular new waterfront parks. But that investment, and New Yorkers’ enjoyment of their parks and neighborhoods, is being ruined by an invasion of noisy, polluting tourist helicopters.

In a Saturday editorial, the New York Times threw their weight behind Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- but you might never know it if you had only skimmed its first paragraphs. That's because the newspaper of record devoted its opening lines to lambasting the rest of the Republican field, with front-runners Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz featuring prominently in the attacks. Kasich's name, in contrast, first appears in the sixth paragraph of the editorial. "T..>> view originalMichelle Isaacson, Jonas Curchack

The New York Times editorial board is taking aim at corporate tax dodgers. Through a process called inversion, American companies merge with smaller companies located in regions where taxes are lower, like Ireland, to effectively change their "tax nationality," and pay lower rates while maintaining majority American ownership and operations.
