Madame First Lady—Mrs. Biden—Jill—kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but not unimportant matter. Any chance you might drop the “Dr.” before your name? “Dr. Jill Biden” sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic. Your degree is an Ed.D., a doctor of education.

Gerald Baker: It’s easy to be cynical about this latest outbreak of media hysteria and bile. It would almost be comforting to think that it’s all their fault. But the White House itself carries much of the blame for this rancid atmosphere of mistrust and misdirection.
