Extremism in the Republican Party
On October 12, 2018, a crowd of Proud Boys arrived at the Metropolitan Republican Club in Manhattan. They had come to the Upper East Side club from around the country for a speech by the group’s founder, Gavin McInnes. It was a high point for the Proud Boys — which until that point had been known best as an allmale right-wing street-fighting group — in their embrace by mainstream politics.

Biden’s student loan relief

Good Morning: What’s up at the courthouse?
For the past quarter of a century, I have spent some time most weeks in the Grayson County Courthouse. Some weeks I am only there a few minutes and others it feels like I spend entire days there. Over the years, I have noticed all kinds of little things about the place and come to feel very much at home there.
Exploring a memory: Designer re-creates a dress for Diana
This is a dress with a story, and Elizabeth Emanuel wants to tell it. Shocking pink with a plunging, ruffled neckline and body-hugging shape, the gown was designed by Emanuel for Lady Diana Spencer to wear at a Buckingham Palace party a few days before her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981.
At the movies: Steven Spielberg compellingly delves into the past with The Fabelmans
They say “you can’t go home again,” but leave it to Steven Spielberg and writer Tony Kuschner to prove that axiom wrong, at least in the very specific circumstances of The Fabelmans. With this film, Spielberg has torn the veil of allegory and just made an autobiographical drama reflecting his upbringing. Broken families have always been a part of this man’s work, but now we get to see the genesis of where that fascination came from. There’s a version of The Fabelmans that becomes too insular, the cinematic equivalent to a therapy session we feel uncomfortable watching. Thankfully, much like in their prior collaborations such as West Side Story, Munich, and Lincoln, Spielberg and Kushner have knocked it out of the park with The Fabelmans. Whether you know a little or a lot about this man, The Fabelmans will surely work its magic on you.
