New York Values: So much for Ted Cruz and his dismissal of the world’s greatest city. Donald Trump leads Cruz by 30 percent in the polls going into today’s New York primary. Trump has a chance to win all 85 of New York’s State’s Republican delegates, which keeps alive, barely, his hopes of reaching 1,237 and taking the Republican nomination on the first convention ballot.

The counting varies by a few digits, but the NY Times has Trump leading Cruz by 200 delegates. Including New York, Trump needs to win 61 percent of the remaining delegates to lock up the nomination.

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, the only runner in the New York primary with a New York accent, trails Hillary Clinton by 12 points. If Clinton holds her lead in today’s voting, she could pick up 25 delegates. After that, she would need to win only 43 percent of pledged delegates to take the majority. Remember, she’s got 469 Super Delegates. That means she really only needs to win 33 percent of the remaining delegates in play.

Permawar: An enormous explosion rocked Kabul today, killing dozens of people and wounding hundreds. The explosion was near government offices and a bus stop. Authorities say that after the explosion Taliban fighters tried to enter a compound occupied by elite security forces and a gun battle followed.

The Supremes: The court appeared to be sharply and evenly divided during arguments yesterday on President Obama’s order protecting four million illegal immigrants from deportation. Justice Anthony Kennedy said, “It’s as if the president is defining the policy and the Congress is executing it. That’s just upside down.”

Trying to acknowledge reality, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, “These people are here to stay no matter what.”

Much of the discussion focused on whether the state of Texas, the lead plaintiff in the case, is harmed by the president’s policy. The state argued that because it subsidizes the cost of driver’s licenses, it would be forced to bear the added expense of subsidizing licenses for illegal immigrants. Of course, they already do, with or without the president’s order.

The Finish Line: Two Ethiopians toppled the Kenyan dynasty yesterday to win both the men’s and women’s races in the Boston Marathon. Lemi Berhanu Hayle, 21, was first among women and Atsede Baysa, 29, finished first for the men.

But the marathon is often about more than winning. Patrick Downes became the first amputee from the marathon bombing three years ago to finish the race. He was greeted at the finish line by his wife, who also lost a leg that day.

For the women, Adrianne Haslet, a dancer who lost a lower leg in the bombing, finished at 7:15 pm after more than 10 hours on the course. She had said she was determined.

World: At least 413 people are known to have died in the earthquake over the weekend in Ecuador. Some people are still being rescued from the rubble.

The Obit Page: Character actress Doris Roberts, who played Ray Romano’s meddlesome mother on the long-running sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond,” has died at age 90. Roberts had been a stage actress on Broadway but also appeared in movies including “The Rose,” “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3” and “Madea’s Witness Protection.” Patricia Heaton, he cast mate on “Raymond” tweeted, “She was funny and tough and loved life, living it to the fullest.”

On the Money: The Hip Hop Broadway musical “Hamilton,” about the guy on the $10 bill, won a Pulitzer Prize yesterday. As the lyrics say, “Oh Alexander Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, America sings for you.”

Hamilton’s current popularity may have saved him from being removed from the $10 bill and replaced by a woman of historical stature. The man to lose his spot now might be Andrew Jackson, the pro-slavery Indian killer on the 20. Jackson, just kind of — you knowwww — doesn’t fit with current social thinking.
