Hey, it's Rachel. So we are working on another special bonus episode for subscribers, where we take you behind the scenes here at the New York Times. So far, we've talked to editors who make the game section. We've talked to composers who make our amazing music here at the Daily. And most recently, we talked to our new restaurant critics. And for this next bonus episode, we want to learn about a section of the paper that people don't talk about quite as much.

It's been around since 1851, and of all the desks of the New York Times, it might be the most mysterious.

That's right. We want to learn about obituaries. And that's where you come in. If you've ever had a

question about an obituary, like how does the paper decide who gets one? Or how do they get written so

fast? Or maybe who wants to write obituaries for their job? We want to get answers for you. So send us your questions,

either voice memos, or just a plain old email, to daily subscribers at n.Y times.com.

is taking place without representation from the United States. In its place, China has become

the top dog at the conference, and it's poised to become the world supplier of green energy technology.

Today, my colleagues David Gellis and Brad Plumer explain the growing showdown between global superpowers over the future of energy.

It's Tuesday, November 18th.

David.

Hi.

You just got back from cop.

I did.

27 hours to get there?

Yeah, I was only 14 to get back. Wow. Okay. Well, this is not your

first time being a cop, but maybe it's the longest trip you've taken. Definitely. And, in fact,
