In celebration of the United States of America’s 250th birthday,
we posed a simple question to some of our favorite critics,
columnists and editors across the New York Times newsroom, people
who write about books, movies, TV shows, science, sports,
wellness and food. We asked: What’s the most American thing on
your beat?
On today’s episode, we present their answers. Happy Birthday,
America!
