适应

慢性 野火

David Wallace-Wells

观点

Ukratie 异常现象最初以冲击的形式出现，随后演变为一种模式。

但这种模式揭示了什么？在经历了数个令人担忧且有害的日子之后，北美东海岸沿线的天空现在已经消散了烟雾。在那些日子里，父母担心是否应该让孩子留在室内，中年人担心父母的健康与安全，许多其他的人则在一种气候恐惧中进行调整，就像面对环境轰炸般难以承受。对于许多人来说，不到一周之后，这一切似乎几乎成了一场噩梦。

但有害物质在 Upper Midwest 的大部分地区依然像肥皂一样浓厚，截至周一，加拿大仍有 800 多个火点在燃烧，而上周末在俄勒冈州、华盛顿州和不列颠哥伦比亚省，闪电风暴又引发了数十起新火灾，更不用说法国、西班牙和意大利仍在肆虐的火灾。

没有什么能阻止这些新的 tangulins。我们必须学会与更大的风险共存。

这些火灾已经破坏了数十万英亩的土地，在太平洋西北地区和加拿大西部喷发出危险的空气烟雾。因此，当周日 Meadowlands 的天空变色，孩子们目光看向在那里举行的世界杯时，我们共同看到了什么样的未来？

在过去十年中，美国的个人烟雾暴露量已在增加，目前的水平是 2000 到 2010 年间 6 倍的四倍。甚至在 2015 年加拿大野火之前——当时美国东海岸的人们首次见到了他们此前认为仅在加利福尼亚州和澳大利亚等遥远地方才会出现的橙色天空——更多美国人死于野火烟雾。在密西西比河以东地区，与野火烟雾相关的死亡人数为 41。

根据估计，2015 年的立法者导致了数千名美国人的死亡。正如 Robinson Meyer 上周所写，总的来说，据报道，野火烟雾死亡带来的经济损失现在已超过所有其他气候影响的总和。然而，直到最近，气候科学家和气候经济学家在预测全球变暖带来的影响时，仍未将联邦空气纳入考量。这并不是因为没有人预料到会有更多，而是因为我们还没有真正开始思考这一切。详见第 10 页

纽约时报发表来自广泛视角的观点文章，旨在促进关于重大问题的建设性辩论。

乌克兰军队正准备向俄罗斯的一个目标发射无人机。乌克兰新任最高将领米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂少将是“无人机阵线”战略的制定者。

变革的使命

新闻分析

乌克兰新任最高将领带来现代方法，但必须应对危机

作者：MARC SANTURA

2014年5月9日，15辆未获回应的车辆冲破了莫尼戈特（Mornigot）的亲俄路障，使一名年轻的指挥官成为乌克兰传奇，成为一种原始、不切实际的抵抗象征。

周三，该士兵——少将米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 接任乌克兰武装部队司令。此时正值军事和政治转型的紧张时刻，他将领导这个国家在一场十年前几乎无法想象的战斗中前进。

这是一场既是缓慢消耗又是高科技创新的战争，生存取决于哪一方能更快地适应，并在充满无人机的天空下，将不断演进的武器更好地整合到每日的战斗环中。

43岁的德瓦帕蒂将军在周二晚上被总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基任命为最高军事指挥官，接替90岁的亚历山大·瑟尔斯基将军。德瓦帕蒂将军代表了乌克兰新一代的军事领导层。

43岁的德瓦帕蒂将军接管乌克兰军事指挥权，得到了一个要求摆脱僵化、自上而下指挥模式的改革运动的支持。

该运动采用了更现代的作战方法。

他是乌克兰“无人机线”战略的关键架构师之一。乌克兰不再单纯依赖导致部队脆弱的静态战壕，而是在前线后面创建了一个充满攻击型和侦察型无人机以及自动目标的连续“击杀区”。

这一战术有助于减缓俄罗斯的推进，使乌克兰在多年来首次在部分前线夺回主动权。它也给这个失去了数万名士兵、疲惫不堪的国家带来了希望。

虽然 20 场战场发展是积极的，尤其是在针对俄罗斯和中国的远程打击方面，但分析人士警告称，乌克兰需要一次平稳的军事领导层过渡以维持势头。

亚历山大·瑟尔斯基将军被解雇的情况加剧了这一挑战。自 30. 泽连斯基上周解雇其东向国防部长米哈伊林·费多罗夫（Mykhailin Fedorov）以来，乌克兰一直陷入动荡。24岁的费多罗夫先生曾与亚历山大·瑟尔斯基将军一起研究战略，包括在依赖无人机等方面的程度问题。

示威者走上街头，抗议泽连斯基先生支持亚历山大·瑟尔斯基将军的决定。在六天时间里，人群从要求恢复费多罗夫先生的职务转变为要求撤除亚历山大·瑟尔斯基将军。泽连斯基先生在周二晚上满足了这一愿望，用德瓦帕蒂将军取代了亚历山大·瑟尔斯基将军，而德瓦帕蒂将军此前支持费多罗夫先生及其对现代战争的愿景。

杰克·赖安（Jack Ryan）在一次点评中表示，他是一位退休的澳大利亚将军，目前在悉尼的一家智库——洛伊研究所担任研究员，“现在的决定是，指挥权的更换将经历一段不确定期，直到新领导者站稳脚跟，而俄罗斯军队则需要 over。”

德瓦帕蒂将军进入了一个危机矩阵。他必须解决乌克兰征兵系统的问题，同时还要为俄罗斯可能的动员行动做好准备。 详见第 3 页

美国在与沙特阿拉伯的协议中

放宽 核标准

专家表示，对该密切盟友的让步可能会引发一场新的核扩散竞赛

作者：DAVID S. GUNGER 和 WILLIAM J. BRIGGS

特朗普总统与伊朗开战，部分原因是为了强迫其遵守美国的两项长期要求：伊朗必须在至少 20 年内停止浓缩核燃料，并且必须允许国际检查员前往任何地方、查看任何物品，以核实该国没有制造炸弹。

周三，特朗普先生对该地区其密切的盟友沙特阿拉伯采取了相反的做法。为了消除西屋公司 (Westinghouse) 和其他美国公司在沙特领土上建设 2 座核反应堆（以及未来更多项目）这一巨大业务机会中的障碍，他打开了大门，允许该王国在两年后开始浓缩自己的核燃料。

此外，他还同意了该王国的要求，即不需要遵守适用于其他 160 多个国家的检查协议。沙特方面表示，那些规则过于具有侵入性。

现在，特朗普先生必须向国会以及整个中东证明，在放宽 1 个密切盟友的核标准时，他并没有开启一个新的核扩散时代，尤其是在这个世界已经战火纷飞的地区。如果与伊朗之间每日的烟雾交锋最终让位于恢复谈判，毫无疑问，伊朗将抓住在利雅得做出的让步，并坚持要求同样的待遇。

周三，政府官员已经在争辩称，没有什么需要核实的，而且美国将如此深入地参与沙特阿拉伯的核能未来，以至于该王国绝无可能将其核燃料和技术转用于秘密的炸弹计划。

他们可能是正确的。但核之战（见第 1 页）

一群女性潜入鳕鱼岬的池塘，以清除堆积的垃圾

作者：CARA BUCKLEY

池塘看起来纯净无瑕，映照着稀疏的云朵和一只美国原产的鳕鱼岬犬懒散的身影。

聚集在池畔的女性们并非在晒太阳。

她们此前已在马萨诸塞州的披肩中审视过这个池塘，并知道深处藏着什么：数百个旧啤酒罐和葡萄酒瓶、破裂的高尔夫球和混凝土块、木托盘以及长期的垃圾。

这些女性为此时刻做了准备。为此接受过训练，并进行了 Louma 测试。她们身穿救生衣进入水中，

以及 haydits，干预并咀嚼。她们中没有一个人年轻于 40。垃圾根本没有机会逃脱。

在接下来的一个小时里，“反对水下垃圾的老妇人们” (Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage) 在时间与空间允许的情况下，在巴恩斯泰贝尔的拉维尔池塘 (Lavelle Pond) 组织了一场完整的垃圾清理。她们将垃圾填满 haydits 的存储舱，将其绑在灰色陷阱上，或在船头平衡。一个粉色掉落物。一把白色塑料躺椅的一部分，一个木托盘。一个正在分解的汽车轮胎。在将所有东西运回陆地后，女性们对这片土地赞叹不已。

“你精疲力竭，也许有点受挫，你脏得要命，但这是最棒的感觉，”一名退休高中数学老师 Lisa Weiss 说道，她 65, 岁，是该群体中最年轻的成员。

“反对水下垃圾的老妇人们”由目前 90, 岁的 Susan Baer 于 2019 年创立，她是一位住在 North Fifteenth 的退休心理学家。她遵循 TRADE。第 2 页

垃圾没过脖子

FRANK FRONT PAGE 1

在游泳时清理随机的废弃物，多年来潜入各层 posels，并招募朋友。这些女性将其他且无文章的场景正式化。更多女性加入了，一名女性结婚了，且入学要求及成员必须年满 61 岁，并能够游到半英里（600 米）以便进入 20 个领地并在亮光脚（2.5 米）后生活。

West 开启了。一段错误的撤离，一名男性来自一所学校，一个坟墓去了美国的城镇。2024 年 5 月，《德鲁·巴里摩尔秀》(The Drew Barrymore Show) 向他们的事业展示了 101,000 人（该团体是一个非营利组织，女性是志愿者，而 Buse 先生说，这比另一个 1992 年仅多出 $100M）。当团体的规模威胁到它时，最初的入会人数被限制了。这些男性没有结婚，但他们结婚了且在候补名单上。少数最近通过的人承认是通过恳求才进入的。

迄今为止，这些女性估计她们运走了 4,000 磅（2,700 千克）的钱和 1,000 磅的钱。

“我们被这么多真正难以解决的问题所包围，鳕鱼角的水质问题非常严重，而解决方案的成功率却很低，”71 岁的 Maggie Morgan 说道，她于 2025 年加入该团体。“这是触手可及且直接的。我们出现在良好的起点水平，然后带回一大堆垃圾。”

该团体每年清理约 20 磅，到现在，他们已将操作变成了科学。每个点都使用软件调查垃圾，在每次潜水前，都会测试有害危险藻类的水平。但在 Lovells Pond 的潜水中，女性被分为潜水员和皮划艇手三个小组，而一个人则拿着剪贴板、清单和地图负责科学物流。女性们很平常，取了水，棉质标志和湿坚果，在沙尘之后，她们出发进入池塘。

Buse 先生在纠结和污泥中，开始沿着池塘的 perchance 缓慢游泳，距离岸边约 30 英尺，向下训练，冒出气泡。时不时地，她会在水下翻转，臀部向上，并带着一件垃圾重新出现。

航程为 40 分钟，皮划艇通常装满了：一块 cupink，一个沉重的空腔和/或，一片黏糊糊的树叶以及所有其他索道和酒瓶。

“这里的饮酒行为变得令人厌恶，”潜水员之一 65 岁的 John Buse 在带着另一个啤酒罐浮出水面后说道。

有时，从纠结中浮现的模糊 enclavations 会让野生动物进入视野：一个彩色的帐篷，一个动物家庭，那些口眼俱在的游戏。

成员们说，这个团体重塑了她们的生活。她们变得更强壮了，因为她们必须能够将沉重的垃圾从池塘底部运到皮划艇上。在搬迁或退休后，在成为丧偶或离婚后，在成为一个男人、一个女性酿造师之后，她们建立了深厚的关系。

“我不明白，John 纠结地，不要用啤酒去飞像在 lags 里的那样，”Weiss 先生说。“这本书你是一个不同的方式。”

Hill Lakes Against Underwater Carriage 团体的高级成员在马萨诸塞州巴恩斯特布尔附近的 Lovells Pond 清理；从池塘中拉出的垃圾；以及在 2024 年创立该团体的 Susan Buse。成员们说，该团体重塑了她们的生活。她们变得更强壮了，并在搬迁或退休，或在成为丧偶或离婚后，建立了新的友谊。

68 岁的 Bettie Mastrudale 曾两次攀登乞力马恰罗山，她表示在加入该团体之前，Gideon 害怕商品及其标志。穿上标志，在纠结中潜水并清理垃圾改变了这一切。“湖泊和池塘中有一个完整的水下天堂，”Mastrudale 先生说。

Buse 先生说，至少两名成员的丈夫已经改变了他们的生活，因为清理垃圾可以很好地缓解压力，并且具有某种物质效果。

回到家中。“如果你明白我的意思，你真的不想在不受监管的弹药环境下生活，”Buse先生说道。“但是，作为领导者，她不得不克制自己的行为以获得赞赏，并抱怨身体上的不适，”她说道。“现在就像是‘克制起来，因为他们在看着’，”Buse先生说。“我会站起来向他们证明，年老依然充实。”在Lovells Pond的清理行动被认为尤其成功。女士们估计回收的垃圾重量达到了 1,000 磅，这是她们迄今为止最大的一次。Lovells留下了手套，她们开始搬运这些垃圾，一点一点地，通过一条倾斜的小路搬到附近的路边，以便被运往垃圾场。

“因为能将它从水中取出并知道它不再存在于那里，我们感到非常快乐。正如我常说的，那些关税（此处原文为tariffs，疑为OCR误识）和鱼类，它们都在鼓掌，它们都为这东西不再在它们的家园而感到兴奋，”70 岁的 Diane Hummer 说道。“我的意思是，没有比这更好的感觉了。”

带着《奥德赛》而来的希腊人

雅典

这部古老故事的新版本让许多人持怀疑态度。直到他们看到了这部电影。

作者：NIKI RITTASTIONS

在电影上映前的几周里，Christopher Nokari 的《奥德赛》在希腊引发了批评，特别是在 Black and Lagnis Young's on Holes of Day 即将到来之际，当时人们正围绕着一个关于世界上最持久的神话之一应如何被重新审视的更广泛讨论而展开争论。

但在 6 月于希腊首映后，当报纸观看了这部电影（在希腊，荷马的主题深深植根于整体身份之中），反应似乎在很大程度上是热烈的。

上周五晚上，在雅典观看完这部 1964 年 Edward opi 历时三小时的影片后，人群离开影院时，许多人表示他们对这部在近三毫米前启发了更大规模全球制作的作品感到满意，它将他们曾在课堂上初次接触的场景呈现在了银幕上。

“这是‘好莱坞’式地呈现了，”Costas Anastasioukis，55 岁说道。“它把我带回了 45 年前，那时我们在学校读这个故事。”

他提到 Douglas De Hirt 的规模和技术增强，他说：“在 Hirt 的处理下，故事是得到了抵达，而非被淹没。”他说：“这里不需要图形或 CO2，文本超越了一切。”

在 Nokari 方面，Anastasioukis 认为他“生活在 Holes of Day 中”，并以此“实现了故事的普遍性”。他说：“这个故事是一点点地……（此处原文重复，译文保留原意）”

希腊的评论家对这部电影的评论褒贬不一，该片自 1972 年以来的这段时间里共获得约 $250.1 百万美元。

一段简短的资料随附在雅典一家电影院安装的《奥德赛》广告之后。雅典的观众似乎在很大程度上接受了希腊演员的缺失。

在周末。领先的日报《Kathimerini》表示，诺兰迎接了荷马的挑战，“用后现代艺术家的不稳定性，重新诠释了一部在几个世纪中回响的史诗”。希腊领先的文化和娱乐出版物《Athlenerana》赞扬了电影的视觉野心，但认为它脱离了荷马原著的哲学和叙事复杂性。

雅典大学古希腊文学副教授 Ergenia Makrygianni 表示，《奥德赛》通过荷马关于“nostos”的概念——驱动奥德修斯旅程的对家园和回归的渴望——与现代希腊身份紧密相连。

“它与希腊自身的历史经验相连——战争、邪恶、经济困难和迁徙，”她说。“奥德修斯（替代了鳏夫，决心以及在逆境中坚持的力量）。”

Makrygianni 补充道，古典作品之所以保持生命力，是因为每一代人都赋予了它们新的意义，当代创作者将奥德修斯误读为一个旅行者、一名移民，一个寻求归属感的人。“荷马本人没有改变——改变的是他的读者，”她说。

在雅典的放映中，观众似乎在很大程度上接受了希腊演员的缺失，因为他们已经习惯了在像“360”和“360”五个单位这样的大制作中由外国演员担任希腊角色，更强烈的联系则来自于景观。诺兰拍摄部分电影场景的希腊之日、光影和崎岖版本，让荷马的世界显得具有人性化的可辨识度。

有些人对 Nokari 塑造的奥德修斯印象深刻，他不仅仅是一个简单的征服英雄，而是一个被战争标准化并被迫面对其后果的人。

Sangitis Dhoropoulos，21 岁，表示这部电影让他对自己多年前学习的作品有了新的视角。“看到所有这些场景——独眼巨人、glutes——真是太神奇了，”他说。“在学校，焦点在于奥德修斯的习惯和他的毅力。在电影中，他意识到了自己做错了什么。”

他的朋友 Sydeman Ragimi 同样是受到欢迎的 Nokari，他对这个故事感到惊讶：“这就是兴趣所在，”他补充道，“奥德赛的精神就在那里。”他表示，令他特别触动的是，陪伴奥德赛旅行的雅典由 Zendaya 饰演，她同时也饰演了一名在 Day 之战中被处决的年轻女性。“陪伴他的不是女神，而是他的摄政者，”Ragimi 说道。

并非所有观众都认为 Nokari 的制作能够应对 Homen 诗作的复杂性。36 岁的 Christian Georgiou 表示，这部电影在视觉上很震撼，但缺乏深度。“它非常好莱坞化，有着美国式的夸张场景和过于浮夸的服装，”她说。

除了艺术解读的问题，这部电影在上映前也招致了政治批评，尤其是来自极右翼的批评。有报道称，希腊为该制作提供了超过 600 万商店的补贴，约 162.9 million，这引发了民族主义 Niki 党政治家的不满，他们认为公共资金被用于支持一种对希腊遗产“更广泛”的重新诠释。

文化监察员 Lois Mouteni 否认了这些批评，在接受《Life》杂志采访时表示，“不能由手段来主宰创作者如何艺术地诠释一部作品。”

古典学教授 Makrygianni 表示，围绕这部电影的争议证明了 Homen 作品持久的影响力。“当一部作品能够持续引发关于谁有权讲述这个故事以及应如何描绘的讨论时，”她说，“它依然具有深刻的综合力量。”

对于学生 Tangetis 来说，这部电影是对希腊定义性作品之一之持续重要性的情感提醒。“我感到很自豪，这一切都发生在我们的国家，”他说，“而且人们在数千年后依然在讨论《奥德赛》。”

为《粉红豹》演奏萨克斯的音乐家

FLAS JOHNSON 1971-1974

作者：MATY SCHOEL

Flas Jones 是一位好莱坞录音棚音乐家，他在 1963 年电影《粉红豹》（The Pink Panther）片头曲中演奏的萨克斯风为史上最著名的电影主题曲之一注入了俏皮的律动感。他于 7 月 23 日在洛杉矶家中去世，享年 94 岁。

他的子女 Eric Johnson 和 Stephanie Oliver 确认了这一死讯，并表示其父亲在仅一个月前还处于活跃状态。

Johnson 先生在采访中谈到过他在 2000s rock 's millions 的经历。他参与了许多主题曲的创作并与超级巨星共同录制。但最令他瞩目的作品是 1963 年 7 月 8 日完成的《粉红豹》主题曲。他说，这部由 Blake Edwards 导演，Peter Sellers 主演的经典黑色侦探喜剧，塑造了一个傲慢而又滑稽的法国警督 Jacques Leblanc。

在出现一只研究过的粉红豹的动画片头序列 30 秒后，Johnson 先生的萨克斯演奏出现了一个 16 小节的主题，它同时显得俏皮、诱人且神秘，并带着一丝恶作剧般的幽默感。在这段曲子稍后部分，Johnson 先生进入了一段 sweeping side（在录音棚中即兴演奏），随后俏皮的开篇主题再次回归。

Mancini 先生和 Johnson 先生此前曾合作过 Mancini 先生在《Pink Guns》中的重要角色，这是一部 2018. 年首播的电视剧情剧。完整版本《The Music From 'Pone Guns'》获得了格莱美年度最佳专辑奖。

在创作《粉红豹》的音乐时，Mancini 先生在构思时就考虑到了 Johnson 先生：“我几乎总是先确定演奏者，然后为他们创作并让他们试演，而 Flan 拥有我想要的声音和风格，”他在 1969 年出版的《Old Tiny Montana Six-Mans》一书中回忆道，该书由爵士乐记者 Gene Love 在 1969, 年撰写。

录音是在一个冬日早晨 8 点进行的。“我想我们只录了两次，”Johnson 先生在 2007 年告诉 The Modern Box。 “当我们完成时，每个人都鼓掌了，甚至连弦乐手也鼓掌了。这可是很罕见的。”

他补充道：“他们平时从不为任何事情鼓掌。”

《粉红豹》主题曲作为单曲发行后，在成人当代音乐类别中大获成功，并赢得了三项奖项，包括最佳器乐编曲奖。多年后，Johnson 先生在夜总会演出时开始演奏这首曲子：

“有时人们走过来告诉我，我非常喜欢原版，”他在 2005 年告诉《长滩新闻电报》（The Long Beach Press-Telegram）。“当我告诉他们原版是我吹的时候，你就能看到他们惊讶的样子。他们一直不知道是谁演奏的，听到是我之后，他们脸上总是露出那种认出来的表情。”

Flan 同样有所建树。他在路易斯安那州西部的 Dinsfordsmith 出生于 7 月 21, 1931, 他的名字与“jazz”押韵，源自法语词汇“pianaut”，意为愉快的或讨人喜欢的。他成长于一个音乐家庭：

“我的母亲 Grace 弹钢琴并唱歌，”他说，“她很喜欢。” 他的父亲 Flan Sr. 演奏中音萨克斯。无论他们住在哪里，家里都有音乐氛围。他们会在周末旅行并参与乐队演出。他们会在任何可能的地方演奏，在旅馆、餐厅和舞会上。

Johnson 先生 12 岁时，父亲给他买了一把高音萨克斯并教授他基础课程。他很快进步到能够演奏更大的中音、次中音和低音萨克斯，后来又增加了单簧管和长笛。他与身为钢琴家的哥哥 Kay 以及身为歌手的妹妹 Gwen 经常一起表演。

青少年时期，他在新奥尔良表演，在那里他接触了 Elizabeth 和爵士乐，并决定采用由 Charlie Parker 在 1940 年代开创的快节奏比波（bop）风格。1955, 年，他加入了人气 R&B 歌手 Charlen Brown 的伴奏乐队，随后被征召入美国陆军，并在加利福尼亚州的一支军乐队中演奏。

他在 1950 年代中期在洛杉矶工作，成为首批在繁忙的西海岸电影和录音室场景中站稳脚跟的黑人音乐家之一。

他以及被要求演奏节奏与火焰（rhythm-and-flame）、支撑管弦乐团的丝滑弦乐，或为摇滚曲调敲出一个强有力的独奏的原因。他成为了 Wrecking Crew 的中坚力量，该音乐家群体以能够适应任何音乐风格而闻名。

约翰逊先生参与了录制《The Monkeys》、《Mancini》和《The Odd Couple》等电视节目主题曲的录音室组合。他为来自苏格兰的 Players、Frank Beaton、Frank Joppa、Dr. John、Elton John、Ella Fitzgerald 和 Marvin Gant 等人的多种单曲伴奏。

约翰逊先生以能够用闪光的独奏来增强曲调而闻名。

作为一名多才多艺的音乐家，约翰逊先生在 1958 年 Bobby Day 的标题曲中提供了短笛独奏。他在“Pet friends”中出现，在 1960 年起由 Black 担任客户的 Mr. Beach Bray 中出现，并在 1975 年 Nicotine Lawn 的 Top 10 热门歌曲《Lotta Love》中演奏长笛独奏。在夜晚，他在爵士俱乐部与小团体合作，并以自己的名义发行了十余张专辑。

他还曾在电视脱口秀主持人 Merv Griffin 的乐队中工作了 10 年，并且是 Frank Cage 和 Gene Hines 领导的爵士乐队成员。2008 年，他为一部由 Steve Martin 饰演 Chavelle 的电影翻拍版录制了主题曲的新版本。

约翰逊先生出现在 2008 年的纪录片《The Wrecking Crew》中，该片讲述了那些备受赞誉但仅被接受为 Angelos 贡献者的音乐家。在后来的年岁里，他以出现于“他的声音和 Harry 看到的一套服装：限制性的”而闻名，评论家 Don Hachman 在为《洛杉矶时报》撰写的一篇关于他表演的评论中写道，他用驱动的摇摆画面进行了争端般的装饰。

约翰逊先生与 Elizabeth (Himberdorp) Johnson 的第一次婚姻以离婚告终。除了他的儿子 Eric 和女儿 Stephanie，他的遗属还包括他与结婚 60 年的妻子的另一个孩子 Philip Nunn。约翰逊勋爵（Lord Johnson）同样留下了第一段婚姻中的三个孩子：Cheryl Johnson、friend Johnson 和 Donna Hovley，以及若干孙辈和 12 个曾孙辈。

在录音室的岁月里，约翰逊先生以能够用可能仅持续几秒钟的闪光独奏来增强曲调而闻名。他 2007 年告诉《旧金山纪事报》，这是“在俱乐部巡演多年，学习了约 1,000 首曲子，在歌手和脱衣舞者以及舞者身后伴奏”的成果。“人们站起来跳舞，根据他们的选择。那就是你的掌声。”

约翰逊（The Johnson）是一张经过审计的照片。《粉红豹》电影片头曲的音乐包含一段他在录音室即兴创作的、具有重新定义感的无采样独奏。

疫情令墨西哥生菜之都陷入恐慌

墨西哥，多克托尔莫拉 (DOCTOR MORA, MEXICO)

一种名为环孢子虫的寄生虫已影响美国数千人

作者：EMILIANO RODRÍGUEZ MEGA

当卡门·拉米雷斯（Carmen Ramirez）得知一种寄生虫正将美国人的肠道变成“格斗时间展位”——并且这种病原体源自她的家乡墨西哥中部时，她禁不住笑了起来。

拉米雷斯，31 岁，在回忆起 20 世纪 60 年代的事情时说道，当时她和父亲在多克托·莫拉（Doctor Mora）经营着一家家庭杂货店，那是一个人口约 20,000 人的安静农业小镇。

她说，人们主要注意到的是美国饮食中出现的腹泻性质。

但当她看到卫生官员称，他们将受污染的冰山生菜病例追溯到她的家乡企业时，她开始感到担忧——具体是指泰勒农场（Taylor Farms）拥有的一个切丝工厂。这家蔬菜和沙拉套装生产商已成为当地家喻户晓的名字。这家总部位于加利福尼亚州的公司以该地区最重要的雇主而闻名，雇员包括年轻人和单身母亲。

她表示，这种名为环孢子虫（cyclosporin）的寄生虫——此次疫情的背后元凶，已占据新闻头条并激发了许多故事和歌曲——如果被证实与泰勒农场有关，可能会危及公司员工、生菜种植者、市场摊贩及其家属的生计。

“这可能会让我们陷入很大的困境，”拉米雷斯女士说。

周日，泰勒农场宣布，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）在一次环孢子虫检测结果被证明为假阳性后表达了歉意。FDA 否认曾提供道歉，并表示假阳性并未改变驱动其对泰勒农场进行调查的“压倒性的流行病学数据”。

该机构表示：“FDA 的轨迹调查和疫情数据继续指向来自墨西哥中部泰勒农场地点的切丝冰山生菜。”

泰勒农场已将所有源自瓜纳胡阿托（Guanajuato）的冰山生菜从美国市场撤回，种植者和零售商也将其产品从货架上移除。

虽然美国卫生官员报告了 5,000 多个确诊和疑似病例，甚至有 10 人死亡，但墨西哥卫生当局周二排除了其国内发生疫情的可能性，并指出仅检测到三例病例。

由该寄生虫引起的疾病以剧烈的腹痛、严重的恶心以及在许多情况下出现突然且巨大的腹泻波为特征。

“几乎无法走到餐桌前，”危地马拉大学的流行病学家兼医生亚历山德罗·马西亚斯（Alejandro Macias）说道。

马西亚斯博士承认，检测到的病例不足以……

……在墨西哥检测到的病例数不足以宣布疫情，但他指出，环孢子虫并不是该国卫生官员常规追踪的感染病。两国均未记录过死亡病例。

瓜纳胡阿托（墨西哥广泛的生菜产地，其大部分收获运往美国）的几位居民坚称他们没有生病。他们开玩笑说，墨西哥君主（指当地人）天生就比美国人强壮。

“我会像平时一样继续吃生菜，”29 岁的格特鲁德·布恩梅特罗（Gertrude Buenmetro）说，她是圣何塞·费尔班的一名学生，该市靠近泰勒农场工厂，人口约 90,000 人。“就算最后出现了爆发性腹泻，至少 73 也能减掉一些体重，还能让我有理由去健身房。”

有些人对美国官员宣布的调查结果持怀疑态度。

“他们总是会责怪我们墨西哥人，”44 岁的雷纳托·费罗·梅拉利诺（Renato Ferro Meralino）在他经营的市场摊位上研究生菜球时说道。“你不能相信美国人说的任何话。”

这并不是该公司或其位于瓜纳胡亚托（Guanajuato）的推广设施——该设施的原材料源自该地区的许多农场——首次成为美国食品药品监督管理局（F.D.A.）调查的焦点。

在 2013 年的一次环孢菌（cyclosporin）爆发导致美国 800 多人感染后，官员们确定了罪魁祸首——一种在墨西哥中部的 Taylor Farms 加工厂包装的袋装沙拉混装蔬菜。然而，该公司未能准确指出导致寄生虫进入供应链的具体地点、水源或人员。Taylor Farms 在此后不久便恢复了其墨西哥加工设施的运行。

目前进入美国的环孢菌疫情引发了人们对贸易政策中该疾病影响的担忧，这可能会波及墨西哥的当地经济。

“这些问题真的会影响我们的城镇，我们的生活质量，以及我们仅有的那些被视为收入来源的小生意，”该州 High-Lover Reveals 设施的市长在一次采访中说道。“想象一下，当地种植者生产的所有产品就那样放着 200, 还没人告诉他们该怎么处理。而那些在加工线上工作的人——他们现在怎么做生意？这才是真正的担忧。”

这次爆发发生在美国和墨西哥贸易关系敏感的时期。

“这些问题真的会影响我们的城镇，我们的生活质量，以及我们仅有的那些被视为收入来源的小生意。”

两国原计划于本周继续讨论，以审查他们与加拿大——该国周一被美国对其许多出口产品征收惩罚性新关税——的三方贸易协议。墨西哥也在应对特朗普政府强加的一系列税收，包括对其大多数番茄征收 17% 的关税。

“情况会变得很糟糕！”瓜纳胡亚托的一项协议中，赫克托·恩里克·卡博特·特鲁希略（Hector Enrique Cabot Trujillo）谈到了对 Taylor Farms 和墨西哥生菜的调查。“特朗普会对这件事说什么？他们会告诉我一大堆新城市来屏蔽美国市场，完全搞垮墨西哥贸易。”

周二，墨西哥卫生部长大卫·基尔克迈迪奇（David Kirchmeidich）在新闻发布会上表示，卫生部门已从瓜纳胡亚托的农场采集了多个样本，并正在检测环孢菌。

“到目前为止，还没有发现任何能让我们得出结论证明其源于那里的证据，”他告诉记者。“然而，由于该事件尚未定论，我们正在采取一切预防措施。”

Taylor Farms 的发言人明迪·梅休（Mindi Mayhew）未对具体问题做出回应。纽约时报 的记者在社交媒体上描述了该公司的加工厂——一个被高耸的围栏、广阔的蔬菜地和稀疏的苗圃包围的令人不安的综合体——但被拒绝进入，目前仍在与梅休女士沟通。

周一在入口处，一次重新采访显示，来自加拿大和墨西哥国家卫生监管机构的检查员正在检查该设施。

新任首相，旧问题：点燃英国的增长

伦敦

作者：ESSE NELSON

自 1961 年以来，英国历任首相都曾承诺振兴国家经济。然而，一个接一个地，承诺的增长始终未能实现。

周一就职的安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）带来了他版本的承诺：“让每个英国邮政编码区都实现良好增长。”

他的计划是：“将权力下放到地方官员手中，以便他们能做出自己的经济选择。”伯纳姆先生承诺将带来“我们 50 billion 年中运行国家的最大变革”。

伯纳姆先生尚未透露其经济议程的细节。但他的优先事项在其演讲和顾问的建议中逐渐显现。《纽约时报》采访了五位在制定伯纳姆先生经济地位中发挥作用的经济学家和政策战略家，其中几位在要求匿名的条件下，才公开讨论那些尚未最终敲定的政策。

除了所谓的权力下放，伯纳姆先生表示，他将把更多公共事业和服务纳入公共控制，同时迅速应对高昂的生活成本。

但伯纳姆先生将面临与其前任相同的经济挑战：沉重的公共债务负担、顽固的高通胀以及低生产力增长。此外，十年前国家决定退出欧盟所带来的不可避免的遗产使情况更加复杂，而在此期间，该国已停止并计划对极少的公共投资征税。紧张的消费者倾向于大量储蓄而非消费。

伯纳姆先生面临着巨大的经济问题，而其核心是停滞的增长。

英国经济一直低迷

在成为首相之前，上图的安迪·伯纳姆担任了大曼彻斯特市市长近十年。这座城市是英格兰北部最常见的增长模式，拥有令人印象深刻的内向投资和生产力提升。

自 2006 年金融危机以来，人均国内生产总额仅比 2008 年初高出 1 ％，而危机前的十年中，增长率曾超过 25 ％。

“增长是美国农场面临的巨大挑战，”独立智库国家经济与社会研究中心的主任大卫·阿德雷亚斯（David Adrears）表示。他补充道，国家最新的持久性问题，例如如何限制清洁能源转型和支持老龄化人口，“如果我们有更快的增长，这些问题看起来会更容易解决。”

许多重大的经济障碍，如高债务和巨大的公共支出需求，并非英国所独有。但伯纳姆先生受限于他以及他所属政党自造的约束。由于担心惊动英国政府债务的国际买家并进一步推高借贷成本，他

FOREVER PRESS PRINTING

承诺将遵守雷切尔·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）制定的债务和支出价格规则，里夫斯本周由前国防大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）接替出任财政大臣。伯纳姆先生还继承了一个承诺不提高国内三种最大税收（包括所得税）的政党。

伯纳姆先生在担任英格兰北部大曼彻斯特市市长近十年后接任首相。这份工作赋予了他在交通、住房、警务以及通过成人教育和培训进行技能开发方面的权力。伯纳姆先生强调了地方控制优于中央政府控制的优点，并致力于在全国范围内将权力从威斯敏斯特进一步下放。

“英国极其中心化，”剑桥大学公共政策教授戴安娜·克莱德（Diane Clyde）说道，在过去的二十多年里，她一直在影响曼彻斯特的经济政策制定。

权力，尤其是财政权力，集中在伦敦，这种集中程度在国际标准下十分显著。根据经济合作与发展组织（O.E.C.D.）的数据，当地政府筹集所需资金的能力低于同行国家。

增长和伐木繁荣以确保国家，以及伦敦和东南部集群的经济过热（受难以负担的住房影响），伦敦的生产力比英国平均水平高出 50 percent，且在过去二十年里一直是这样。

在这里，曼彻斯特具有启发意义。这座在 19 世纪曾是工业强国的城市，在上世纪后半叶经历了快速的去工业化而遭受苦难。但它正在实现复兴。通过令人印象深刻的内向投资和生产力提升，这座城市已成为一个增长模型。伯纳姆先生希望曼彻斯特的复兴（其种子在他成为市长之前就已播下）能够被复制。

克莱德先生表示，权力下放的关键优势在于，未来的信息将更贴近具体生活，了解当地公司需要员工具备什么样的技能，从而能够更好地同步教育和培训政策以满足这些需求。

O.E.C.D. 呼应了这一建议，该组织上周表示，如果英国能够缩小地区生产力的差距，就可以提高整体经济增长。当地政策可用于引导更多年轻人就业并改善交通，这两者都是英国地区不平等的主要议题。

实现这些目标将很困难。英国是由地方当局组成的碎片化体系，边界重叠且职责各异。随着权力在伦敦集中，许多地区有效地管理经济政策的能力已逐渐流失。

伦敦政治经济学院的经济地理学教授尼尔·李表示，英国已被置于一个“既碎片化又过于中心化”的状态。他补充说，现在已经形成了一个更广泛的政治共识来尝试解决这个问题。

前政府将启动一项新计划，旨在让地方职员能够获得一部分国家税收。这些努力处于早期阶段，而伯纳姆先生能否实现其权力下放的愿景仍需时间检验。

他的其他几项提案也具有长期性质。伯纳姆先生表示，他将制定一项 10 年计划，通过从公用事业和服务中提取“更多的公共资金”来降低水费、住房、能源和交通成本。（本周，他宣布取消一项增加电费税的计划，称这一变化将为典型的家庭在今年节省约 500 的等值费用。）

考虑到这种宏大的愿景，这可能意味着更强的监管以及政府与企业之间更多的伙伴关系，而非广泛的国有化。

变革的指令

乌克兰, 前页 |

Fedorov 先生与 Zdenysky 先生的边缘关系解释了这场战争所造成的压力，以及国防部甚至战争努力的管理方式，而军队的新领导层必须在其中寻找方向。

分析称，米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军与总统办公室打交道将需要一种平衡艺术。他们表示，他将在军事志愿者所酝酿的行动独立性与 Zdenysky 先生倾向于直接干预管理的习惯之间进行周旋。

军事管理层在执行行政目标方面表现得像是 Zdenysky 先生一个可预测的合作伙伴；相比之下，米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军在要求摒弃法律化、自上而下指令的改革运动支持下接管权力。

Valerii Zaltchyty 曾是乌克兰军队的高级指挥官，他在 2024 年因与 Zdenysky 先生在动员和反攻战略上产生冲突而被解雇。他在一份声明中表示，米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军面临的任务“比他想象的要困难得多”。

一名著名的乌克兰军事分析师 Since China 表示，基辅真正的斗争在于国防采购——即乌克兰用自有资金及合作伙伴资金为军队购买什么，以及哪些强大的国防承包商可能会在这一过程中失去收入。

分析称，米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军对这些决定以及 Fedorov 先生为解决腐败并采购更现代化武器（如在 2025 年）而启动的努力仅有有限的影响力。

Ludovitsky, Balikmen 是一位独立议员，曾任特种部队指挥官且目前仍在军队服役。

tary 表示，她预计米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军将改变最高指挥部的文化，停止对战场决策进行微观管理的做法，并增加对部队部门的信任。

预计米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军将支持 Fedorov 先生所推动的许多技术驱动型计划。

伦敦皇家联合服务研究所的分析师 Jack Welling 在一篇在线评论中表示，随着最高层的变动，Fedorov 先生推动采用数据驱动方法以提高军队绩效的行为现在可能成为可能。

预计米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军还将赋予指挥官根据战场情况做出实时决定的权力。在 亚历山大·瑟尔斯基 将军领导下，曾服役于军队的初级指挥官简报称，Fedorov 先生的总参谋部需要在战术转移或从危险阵地撤军前签署批准文件。

亚历kan大·瑟尔斯基 将军因在坚守阵地或进行进攻时容忍高伤亡人数而获得名声，尽管他坚持认为保护士兵是首要任务。

在招募问题被确定后，人们认为米哈伊林·德瓦帕蒂 (音译) 将军与 Fedorov 先生一样，认为问题在于内部处理、培训流程以及基础战术中的腐败，而非可用职位的短缺。乌克兰希望最高指挥部文化的改变能够降低入伍动机。

“我们已经看到武装部队内部以及普通民众的士气得到了提升，”Ramirova 先生说。

在南部战线通过电话联系到的乌克兰士兵 Andrei Kryasheva 中士，43 岁，表示：“有一种普遍的亢奋感，这创造了一种难以量化且预告明确的暗杀（注：此处原文'assassination'可能为OCR错误或误用词）。 ”

火灾响应令安大略省疏散人员愤怒

安大略省，桑德贝

居民在沟通问题曝光后感到被抛弃

作者：VI706 IBAI

在深蓝色背景的底拍中，火球在家人位于安大略省北部岩崖森林的上方喷发，在一次巡游袭击中，DeCorte 原本期待庆祝她的 10 岁生日。

7 月 11 日傍晚早些时候，官方曾发出警告，称火势正穿过湖对岸的杂草丛。随着天空从日落的奇异色调变为火红色，丙烷气罐相继爆炸；但在午夜之前，DeCorte 先生已带领 7 名家人在船中避难 —— 他们注视着火势蔓延，拨打了 2,000 次以及多次被挂断的当地当局电话。

“绝对是被抛弃了，”DeCorte 先生说。她说，如果能接到警方的电话或访问，或者有自然资源保护官员到来，将是对家人恐惧的“一种安慰”，并能帮助他们了解火势的走向。相反，他们等待火势有所减弱，才设法返回并前往桑德贝市。她说：“救援从未到来。”

在安大略省西北部被野火驱逐的撤离者们，试图通过某种方式传达事实，表达个人不满，认为这些以矿业、林业、能源和农业从业者为主的社区被多伦多的政治领导人所忽视。

加拿大 500 场活跃野火中，有近 200 场在安大略省燃烧，主要集中在桑德贝以南的偏远地区，那里大约有 12 个社区被撤离，导致 2,000 人流离失所。

周四，雨和雷暴预计将穿过该地区，并带来闪电引发火灾的风险。

周二，69 位其领地处于火灾区域的第一民族（First Nations）领导人要求对北方野火撤离工作的“操作性迟缓”进行独立公开调查，并要求负责火灾行动的助理副部长等人辞职。

“安大略省采取行动太慢了，而且对于上周发生的事情仍然拒绝承担责任，”Whitsnard 第一民族酋长 Lawrence Wanskanik 在桑德贝一家酒店举行的记者会上对聚集的撤离者们说道。

Chad Wanskanik 表示，他社区的一位长者，80 岁的 Stella Wahmow 因在浓烟中呼吸困难被送往医院。她于次日去世。

安大略省的火灾暴露了该省在传递关键信息（如火势蔓延、周边范围和方向的更新）方面沟通迟缓，导致许多人只能自行揣测情况以及何时撤离。

“我们的成员几乎是穿着身上的衣服就逃出来了，”Nalmojapamagajpet 第一民族酋长 Helen Harrols 对在场人员说，她指出该社区得知危险的转折点是接到一名铁路工人的电话，警告他们火势正向其方向蔓延。

安大略省省长 Doug Ford 否认了当局未向撤离者提供简单通知的指控，将火势描述为变化迅速。他上周告诉记者：“你可以想象，我们在之前的夜晚分布得非常稀疏。”

次日，该省表示将扩大紧急警报系统的访问权限，涵盖所有人、警察和第一民族。

在像 Nolulu 这样的小社区（距离桑德贝向西约一小时车程），几乎每个人都知道志愿消防局长的电话号码。在某些日子里，局长 Sarah Shoemaker 曾接听超过 100 通电话，居民们急切地想了解附近野火的信息。

“这就是为什么我们在 Facebook 页面上发布信息，采取如此积极的方式，因为我们被人们提出的问题给淹没了，”她说。

不列颠哥伦比亚省和艾伯塔省在过去五年中比安大略省更容易受到森林火灾的影响，因此建立了多种与公众沟通的渠道：在其社交媒体页面上发布高度关注的火灾更新，创建长期可理解的图表和地图，并在火灾高峰期与野火官员举行每日简报会。

社交媒体上的信息传递已成为居民交换火灾信息的途径，特别是在 2018 年艾伯塔省麦克默里堡发生毁灭性火灾期间。

但在加拿大，每次重大天气事件发生时都会出现关于社交媒体的抱怨，因为这些平台可以用于发送消息，但无法分享由新闻机构发布的及时信息的链接，而这些新闻机构自 2022 年 8 月起已被禁止在 Facebook 和 Instagram 等平台在加拿大运营。新闻屏蔽是该公司针对一项联邦法律的回应，该法律要求包括 Meta 和 Google 在内的科技巨头为使用新闻机构的内容而付费。

最高将领被撤职标志着一个时代的终结

亚历山大·瑟尔斯基在与部长们经历试用后被解职，他曾是旧卫队的一员

作者：CARLOTTA GALL

亚历山大·瑟尔斯基 (Oleksandr Syrskyi) 将军本周被接替乌克兰军队总司令一职，他是一位在实战中淬炼、获得多项勋章的军事领导者，也是乌克兰对抗俄罗斯战争中的关键人物。但在战争初期的优势以及他在个性上的成功，最终可能导致了他的 global 和 desetial（此处原文如此）。

他因在 2022 年 2 月俄罗斯全面入侵之初在首都基辅的防御战中所扮演的角色而闻名，从而赢得了弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基 (Volodymyr Zelensky) 总统的信任，并在两年后成为乌克兰武装部队总司令，在承受着沉重的人员和武器损耗的同时，设法顶住了俄罗斯的进攻。

他的离职标志着一个时代的结束——一个苏联风格军事旧控制权的更替，取而代之的是一群拥抱技术创新和协作领导力的年轻一代指挥官。这位将军过度使用了直接和反叛战争的扩张，但前线指挥官及其支持者敦促更快的发展，认为这是击败强大敌人的关键。

他的退场发生在他与前国防部长米哈伊尔·费多罗夫 (Mykhail Fedorov) 发生激烈分歧之后，后者在三个月前推动了乌克兰的起义。一直留在基辅市的费多罗夫 (Fedorov) 先生因签署无人机军事合同而被解雇，这引发了军队内部及后方的抗议——其中许多人要求瑟尔斯基将军辞职。

这些争议为瑟尔斯基将军长达二十年的军旅生涯画上了句号，他的职业生涯始于苏联军事会议，在乌克兰最高军事记录中服役，包括获得最高荣誉“乌克兰英雄”。

他指挥过关键战役，经常被拍到在前线向总统汇报工作，这使他成为了公众熟知的名字，并在军队的批评中扮演了特殊角色。这位大使并不是一位想要控制武装部队每一个方面的军事领导者。批评者抱怨他以苏联式的方式不顾士兵死活，并指责他拒绝将部队从早已无法维持的阵地上撤离。

瑟尔斯基将军在周三为自己辩护：“我从 2014 年的第一天起就见证了这场战争，我的生活就在前线，我深知每一公里被解放的乌克兰土地所付出的代价，”他在宣布辞职的社交媒体帖子中如此写道。

“我向继任者移交的是一个不仅在维持防线，而且处于进攻状态的军队——它拥有主动权，拥有结构，以及懂得如何控制敌人的人员。”

瑟尔斯基将军 1983 年出生于莫斯科东部的 Novinik 村，在乌克兰的哈尔科夫长大，随后在苏联陆军服役。作为一名优秀学生，他被选中在一家精英军事学院学习工程学以获得资助，随后返回乌克兰加入军队。

他一路晋升，在 2016 年，在俄罗斯军队干预乌克兰东部政治运动期间，他发挥了关键作用。

在俄罗斯入侵开始时，他是该国经验最丰富的将领之一。泽连斯基先生当选后，瑟尔斯基将军在一次早期的军事训练场访问期间会见了新总统，并迅速赢得了他的信任。

曾在 2021 年至 2023 年期间与瑟尔斯基将军密切工作的前国防部副部长汉娜·马卡尔 (Hanna Makar) 在一次采访中表示，他每天工作 30 小时，让自己保持 18 状态，且从未停止指挥。

她将他描述为一个具有魅力但同时也极具号召力的人。马卡尔女士表示，在 2023 年 2 月俄罗斯入侵初期的几天里，他建议将巨大的任务分配给基辅的防御工作，并在俄罗斯入侵前两周就自荐。

一位总是随身携带棋盘或在脑海中构思棋局的棋手，她说，他是一个细致的快乐主义者。她说，在他准备保卫基辅时，他从档案中查阅了关于该地区第二次世界大战战斗的文献，并通过在旧德国防御工事周围行走来规划这座城市的防御。

“他的个人成就就在于这种视角，”马卡尔先生说。

“在面对俄罗斯方式的那一刻，那些完全出乎意料的战役尝试和移动，”她补充道。

在俄罗斯首次威胁基辅时，瑟尔斯基将军被派往东线保卫乌克兰防御阵地，因为俄罗斯军队将力量转向夺取该霍乱地区（音译）的东部省份。

到 2023 年夏末，他发现了俄罗斯防御阵地的弱点并趁势出击，发起了一场大规模的反攻，击退了俄罗斯军队，并收复了乌克兰西北部的一大片乌克兰领土。

在 2022 年，他克服了失血，协调了布赫陶（音译）市的防御。政府将其赞誉为一场决定性的战斗，但士兵和分析人士批评这是一次代价高昂的尝试，为了获得战略收益而消耗了那个夏天乌克兰南部主要反攻的资源。

那场更大规模的反攻由瓦列里·泽连斯基将军监督，在 2022 年，士兵们抱怨说，此时的总指挥是瑟尔斯基将军。

瑟尔斯基将军指挥了关键战役，但他也经常因过于严苛且微观管理而受到批评。

围绕在泽连斯基总统身边，一场充沛且富有同情心的战争在 2024 年夏季并不受欢迎，瑟尔斯基将军发起了一次又一次出其不意的攻势，下令入侵俄罗斯政权所在的俄罗斯境内，以预先阻止俄罗斯的袭击。

将袭击带入俄罗斯提升了国内士气，并使俄罗斯军队在数月内分心；而当她被派遣应对时，乌克兰在战斗员和设备都日益短缺的情况下，消耗了自身的资源。随着战争蔓延，俄罗斯工业扩充领土，并在一个历史性的寒冷时期见证了对基础设施的打击，将资金投入到乌克兰。

瑟尔斯基将军在士兵中赢得了一定程度的尊重，在手册中，自离开国防部并回到学术岗位后一直与瑟尔斯基将军保持密切关系的马卡尔先生表示，这位将军是一个谨慎的人，而且在规划行动时，他始终致力于降低伤亡。

她说，保卫布赫陶 (Bukhetau) 是值得的，因为这让乌克兰能够摧毁俄罗斯的镇痛部队 (painkillers' force)，她认为如果该部队未被清除，将给乌克兰的防御造成更大的破坏。

但对瑟尔斯基将军领导能力的批评在最近几周达到了顶峰。

博丹·克罗姆维奇 (Bohdan Kromvych) 曾是乌克兰国民警卫队的中校，多年来一直抱怨瑟尔斯基将军频繁调动部队，以填补乌克兰 500 英里 (1,500 公里) 边境线上的缺口。

“另一个主要问题是微观管理，”克罗姆维奇先生说。“但这是一个非常重要的事情，也是一个非常重要的问题，它将资源从那些能够交付结果的人手中转移走了。”

马卡尔先生回应道：“这不是微观管理，而是为了掌握实时动态。”

一些指挥官在近日表示支持，称瑟尔斯基将军是唯一一位在全国范围内具有非凡行动广泛经验的指挥官。

亚历山大·查尔科夫 (Oleksandr Chalkov) 和卡雷利亚·克罗姆维奇 (Karelia Kromvych) 参与了报道。

巴基斯坦人渴望达成一项协议以结束伊朗战争

巴基斯坦，卡拉奇

企业主迫切期待共享边境贸易机会

作者：ELLAN FELTZER

巴基斯坦的企业主们极度渴望和平。

芒果出口商 Gholam Mustafa 曾经历过一场惨剧，对于巴基斯坦东部而言，这是亚洲近期发生的一系列事件之一；上个月，在巴基斯坦的斡旋下，美国与伊朗签署了一项大规模停火协议。

在第一次协议崩溃后，卡车被迫折返，Mustafa 先生的经理们相继离职。“我们发送产品，却不知道它们能否到达还是会被拦截，”Mustafa 先生说道。

最近的一个早晨，我在他的办公室内与他交谈，当时他正在家中处理与中国的业务。他曾是美国的一员，其产品从未到达伊朗买家手中。对于他以及卡拉奇（巴基斯坦最大城市及其商业枢纽）的其他企业主来说，伊朗战争结束带来的经济地位至关重要。和平不仅意味着更低的燃料价格，还意味着终于有机会利用紧邻 340 英里 (300 公里) 边境的巨大贸易伙伴。

巴基斯坦经济陷入困境，且严重依赖像中国和沙特阿拉伯这样的印度国家（注：原文此处表达有误，译文保留原意），这是一个拥有 350 million 人口的国家。巴基斯坦有四个邻国，但与其中两个——印度和阿富汗——没有正式贸易往来。

上图：上周，贸易商在巴基斯坦卡拉奇的主要果蔬市场进行谈判。Alison，Gholam Mustafa，一位产品延伸至伊朗买家手中的芒果贸易商。“我们发送产品，却不知道它们能否到达还是会被拦截，”他说道。右图：卡拉奇价格考虑因素。

男人，由于持续的紧张局势。来自第三个国家——中国的投资今年下降了近 30 百分比。

贸易商和企业家将希望寄托在与北部伊朗的改善关系上。

“巴基斯坦的情况非常紧急，”驻卡拉奇的经济学家 Kaiser Bengali 表示。“我们通过借新还旧来偿还援助贷款。任何来自战争缓解的救济都不能太久。”

双方政府均承诺增加贸易。本周，伊朗内政部长 Eskandar Mubarak 率领一个代表团访问巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡，代表团成员包括承受压力的金融部门负责人、国家石油公司负责人以及交通、农业和城市发展部门的高级财务官员。

但在卡拉奇许多强大且有影响力的工业家中，人们感到幻灭和惊恐。

Nassim Dadabihay 的业务专注于建筑材料和能源，她在停火期间曾短暂考虑前往伊朗城市洽谈建筑交易。Dadabihay 女士表示，当时的立场是：“业务将回归，海运和牧场，环境以及一切。”

“这在我们的方式中是稳固的，”她补充道。“伊朗的每次处理都在回归。”与许多巴基斯坦人一样，Dadabihay 女士赞扬了该国政府和军事领导层的努力。但她表示，美国和伊朗应该再次坐下来谈判。“大局需要快速平息局面，”她说道。

特朗普放宽对沙特阿拉伯的核标准

DAVID REAL, 凤凰城

历史中充满了这类例子：一些国家承诺否认其角色，却在暗中竞相研发炸弹。

伊朗的第一座研究型反应堆是由美国提供给伊朗领导人的——这项技术随后落入了 1975 年接管该国的多方之手。印度第一次核试验是对重水反应堆的推广，而该反应堆是 1950 年代加拿大政府的赠礼。巴基斯坦则通过一家欧洲公司获取外国技术，该公司雇用了 A.I.J. Khan，他现在被誉为巴基斯坦炸弹之父。台湾和韩国作为美国坚定的盟友，也曾拥有自己的秘密健康计划，美国情报机构在发现后终止了这些努力。

这两项研究可用性使得美国与沙特阿拉伯的关系在数日内得到提升。一个主要观点是，如果美国不向该国提供其最好的理由和核技术，因为在与沙特关系的紧张局势升级期间（一段时间内，穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼王储禁止美国利用美国在沙特阿拉伯的贷款对伊朗发起攻击——任何将沙特人拉入美国技术栈的事情都涉及白宫），情况将会不同。

“通过这些协议，我们增强了对安全和不扩散的影响，”美国能源部部长兼工业部部长 Chris Wright 表示，“同时依赖于在这里，也就是美国设计的世界上最好的核技术和科学家。”

Wright 先生与沙特能源部长阿卜杜拉齐兹·本·萨勒曼王子签署了协议，但白宫没有立即公布测试内容——也没有公布随附的两封秘密信函，其中许多内容现在将提交国会进行审查。但从实际操作来看，国会必须集结一个足以否决的多数票，才能否决特朗普先生的倡议。

这一进程在 1954 年的《原子能法》下已被多次使用，该法案是德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔总统“原子能以和平目的”（Stones for Peace）计划的关键元素。其核心思想是推广核能，并设有保障措施以确保燃料不被挪用于炸弹项目。

“我认为这个决定极其令人震惊。它似乎为一个确实可能想要冒险的国家提供了路径。”

但沙特阿拉伯带来了一种特殊的问题。这个国家正竞相摆脱其基于石油的过去，渴望拥抱核能以建立数据中心并驱动由人工智能主导的未来，但同时又担心如果伊朗人得手会发生什么。

沙特官员并不掩饰其与特拉维夫对手在研发核武器方面保持同步的决心，并表示如果对方研发成功，沙特也将采取对等行动。2018 年，穆罕默德王子承诺，如果伊朗继续致力于研发炸弹，他的王国将尝试开发并获得核武器——尽管沙特阿拉伯在推迟 10 年后，于 1988 年签署了《不扩散核武器条约》。其他沙特官员在近年来也发出过类似警告，讨论沙特阿拉伯需要成为一个“门槛”核国家，即距离制造自己的武器仅差几次螺丝刀的旋转之遥。

“我认为这个决定极其令人震惊，”智库卡内基国际和平基金会的核分析师 James M. Acton 表示。“它似乎为一个确实可能想要冒险的国家提供了路径。你不能排除沙特阿拉伯会破坏该设施并利用其制造炸弹的可能性。”

这绝非新问题。乔治·W·布什总统曾与阿拉伯联合大公国谈判达成过一项类似的协议。该协议由巴拉克·奥巴马总统在 2005 年完成，其条款如此严格，以至于成为了核协议的“金标准”。作为获取技术的交换，阿联酋签署了关于核燃料生产的协议，并签署了国际原子能机构所谓的“附加议定书”协议，允许其进行相关核查。阿联酋目前拥有四个民用核反应堆，且很大程度上采用了韩国的技术，人们几乎不担心该国除了发电之外对其他方面感兴趣。

当沙特阿拉伯走上同样道路时，美国赢得了一项为期 10 年的暂停期限，禁止其在特定领域进行相关活动。但当李在明总统去年来到华盛顿时，他得到了特朗普先生取消这些限制的协议。目前看来，这些限制暂时仍然有效。

位于阿拉伯联合大公国阿布扎比的一座核电站。该国与美国就核能达成的协议被誉为此类协议的金标准。

“很明显，沙特阿拉伯将与阿联酋不同，”华盛顿华盛顿机构的核专家罗伯特·艾因霍恩（Robert Einhorn）表示，他曾作为美国国务院官员参与谈判了过去几十年中许多最艰难的核协议。“他们认为这些限制过于侵入，而且他们不可能永远接受这种局面。”

尽管沙特同意就自行生产核燃料在经济上是否可行进行为期两年的研究，但他们决定追求浓缩能力，即使必须等待一段时间。

如果沙特协议的条款被公开，其他国家很可能会坚持要求相同的待遇。阿拉伯联合大公国的协议中有一个条款，允许其在邻国获得更优惠的协议时要求与美国进行“磋商”。

华盛顿智库战略与国际研究中心核能项目主任海瑟·威廉姆斯（Heather Williams）表示，沙特协议给特朗普政府带来了更大的压力，要求其果断消除伊朗制造原子弹的能力。

“现在要防止沙特拥有核武器，意味着必须在诸如浓缩等问题上达成具体且强有力的决议，以及如何处理核设施的强度和状态，包括皮肯斯山（Pickens Mountain），”她说道，此处指的是伊朗的一个深层隧道群，被认为是为了进一步攻击，且目前距离美国并不遥远。威廉姆斯博士补充说，这将增加引发扩散连锁反应的风险，许多国家可能会竞相获得制造炸弹的能力。

她补充说，沙特推动与华盛顿达成核协议，呼应了“我们在其他盟友和伙伴身上看到的避险策略。他们的邻里环境变得越来越危险”，在许多情况下，这是因为他们的安全保障者——美国，“不再像以前那样可靠”。结果就是，他们寻求替代方案和安排来增强自身安全。

威廉姆斯博士表示，沙特协议可以被视为美国的某种结果，“因为它维持了美国在该地区的伙伴关系。没有竞争者能取代他们。”但她补充说，问题在于这显得过于软弱。

但在一个世界正处于新核突破边缘的背景下，沙特协议是向该危险迈出的一步。

“如果沙特阿拉伯在制造炸弹之前仅剩下一百万或几个月时间，那么将没有好结果，”亨利·D·苏莱曼（Henry D. Suleiman）表示。他曾是 1969 到 1983 年间美国国防部的核政策官员，目前领导着华盛顿关于美国核战争试验的非扩散法案。

然而，特朗普先生的断言是向抵消伊朗努力、保护美国及其在美利益迈出的重要一步。

“我并不是说我做不到。”

美国的核战争是一个重大问题，但这是一个并非问题的复杂问题。

以及一家总部位于卡拉奇的蔬菜出口商。“如果他愿意，他可以解决所有这些问题。”

被制裁所惊扰

与伊朗打交道的巴基斯坦企业主表示，美国的销售人员阻碍了他们扩大贸易的追求。

几十年前，Khalid Hamid Jair 进一步指出，美国拥有 2000-2005, 2010-2015, 2016-2021, 2022-2027, 2028-2033, 2034-2039, 2040-2045, 2046-2051, 2052-2057, 2058-2063, 2064-2069, 2069-2074, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079

官方数据显示，巴基斯坦与伊朗的贸易额约为 $3 billion —— 远低于欧盟去年治理巴基斯坦与美国期间的美元金额。

但美国商贸工业协会主席 Muhammad Behan Raml 表示，当伊朗企业主访问商会时，由于制裁，双方难以讨论任何相关事宜。

“当他们看向‘另一个国家’时，他们被颠覆了，”来自巴基斯坦主要贸易组织的 Adhaddar Khan Mandehwal 说道。

由于制裁，与伊朗开展的业务通常涉及走私，但即便这种贸易似乎也在枯竭。

读者表示，如果取消制裁，巴基斯坦可以继续向伊朗供应玉米、大米、纺织品、医药产品和手术设备。伊朗可以比沙特阿拉伯和美国其他国家更廉价地向巴基斯坦供应燃料和天然气。

相反，对于大多数贸易，巴基斯坦和伊朗必须依赖更昂贵的第三方玉米、在阿拉伯联合酋长国的细分零件，以及普遍存在的陆路或海路走私。关于非正式贸易规模的官方数据缺失，但据估计其价值达数十亿美元。

观察与守候

企业主表示，通过取消制裁来正规化贸易将消除向走私网络支付的费用，并且他们将能够销售更多样化的伊朗消费产品，从西瓜到打发奶油或甜点。

如今，即使是走私商品的贸易似乎也在枯竭。

上周的一个早晨，我走访了卡拉奇的一家商店，那里曾经拥有种类繁多的伊朗商品，现在仅剩寥寥数款。其中有名为 Names 的伊朗版巧克力棒，以及名为 Bishops 的冷饮。

“走私的伊朗商品进口量也下降了一半，”巴基斯坦主要石油游说团体主席 Tariq Hasan 说道。

一个旨在连接两国的天然气管道项目也因为美国的制裁而停滞。伊朗对巴基斯坦企业的制裁使其无法执行。

分析师和企业主表示，除了将伊朗石油合法化并增加进口的机会外，巴基斯坦将获得的最大回报将是参与伊朗的压力重建。

建筑主管 Dadabihay 女士表示，巴基斯坦拥有伊朗所需的工人及建筑材料。

“我们正在采取观望态度，因为如果工业企业家们不大胆尝试，”她说道。

美国青少年怀孕计划资助方案

政府新标准将强调禁欲并重点关注组建家庭

作者：JIM HOFFMAN

几周前，南卡罗来纳州非营利组织 Fort Forward 的负责人贝娜·迪克森（Bena Dixon）收到了一封来自特朗普政府的信函，其中包含一个令人震惊的消息。

政府将立即终止该组织从一项旨在减少青少年怀孕的联邦计划中获得的 $1.6 million 资助。

信中提到，政府的优先事项不包括州政府所鼓励、指定或促进未成年人性行为的行为。

这一消息是特朗普政府开始捍卫或彻底改革这项已有 16 年历史、总额为 $199 million 的计划所报道的最新进展，该计划始于 1961 年。法院在 2018, 年阻止了这一尝试，但这一次，政府在上个月突然取消了该计划 67 项资助中的 $1 项后，一直在采取措施以获得更稳固的法律依据。

来自健康助理秘书的信函指责 Dan Forward 包含了一些关于如何让吸烟更愉悦的建议课程，以及将“色情作品”正常化的文件。信中称，一段视频包含了“青少年从事性行为的语义”。

“那些信息根本不是事实，”迪克森博士说。该组织从未在课程中使用过所述内容，并表示该视频“讲述的是一名青少年告诉另一名青少年她曾发生过性行为，而她的朋友回应道：‘那绝对不行！’”

在采访中，其他负责人也表示政府误解了他们的内容。他们指出，资助要求该计划必须采用经联邦批准的、研究证明适合该年龄段且有效的教材。

Healthy Futures of Texas 是一家服务于达拉斯-安东尼奥和里奥格兰德谷地区管理者的非营利组织，在对其材料进行严格的联邦审查后，该组织在不到一年前刚刚获得了资助续期。

“许多被指用于终止资助的材料，在没有获得解决这些顾虑的批准之前就被使用了，”该组织首席执行官金杰·麦克尔马西（Ginger McIlmacy）表示，“这让我有点难以理解。”

现在，数十家资助持有者面临着生存困境，因为他们正在纠结是否要在本周提交下一轮资助的申请，因为这必须符合政府的新规定。

新标准规定，资助接收者必须将禁欲作为预防青少年怀孕的唯一手段。课程必须强调婚姻和婚前节制的重点，并指导年轻人如何保护自己的能力。这些标准极少提及预防性传播感染，且几乎不提及女同性恋、男同性恋和跨性别者的性取向。

卫生与公共服务部拒绝就新要求及相关诉讼发表评论。但这些条件反映了 Project 2021 以及传统基金会（Heritage Foundation）其他立场文件中概述的蓝图，这些文件认为，预防青少年怀孕的计划错误地假设所有青少年都会不可避免地发生性行为，并且损害了父母的权威。

上周，三个失去资金的计划以及一个与他们合作的非营利组织在联邦法院对卫生与公共服务部及其部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy）提起诉讼。这些计划试图阻止资助终止以及新要求，因为他们认为这些要求创建了一个基于意识形态的框架，削弱了联邦强制指令的意图。

“国会显然没有打算让卫生与公共服务部将重点放在一个预防怀孕计划中教年轻女性如何怀孕的策略上，”该计划的法律倡导监察员 Drennenius 写道。

由青少年怀孕预防拨款资助的这项为期五年的项目，支持了包括知情同意、决策制定和健康关系在内的教育主题，并根据年龄以及当地社区的价值观和文化进行了调整。地点范围涵盖从

如上所示的活动由南卡罗来纳州的一个团体 Dan Forward 举办。他已经剪掉了绑定，因为对 Bridgewater 到 Sherman, West, Left, Est Williams（左侧）以及 Bridgewater 的 Stephanie McIlmoud 来说太紧了。Bena Dixon（右侧）是 Dan Forward 的负责人。

课程中极少提及预防性传播感染。

从少年拘留中心的学校到寄养家庭环境。这些项目还与青少年和学校教师举办了社区研讨会。

美国污水出生率在过去二十多年里一直稳步下降。任何解释中的资源都是多样化的，但学校增加了获取这些资源的信任。使用现行避孕药、堕胎药甚至智能手机。

公共卫生学者和两党国会委员会也关注联邦预防计划对青少年行为的影响，包括推迟初次性行为。

然而，在美国整体出生率上升（这一趋势被许多保守人士和其他人谴责）之时，新的 Refuge 团体和教育要求计划共享一套名为“女性规避”的课程，该课程将青春期之前的禁欲信息与婚姻和为人父母的根除联系起来。

申请提供关于男性和女性生殖健康的独立模块。年轻女性联邦计划将“评估”作为激素健康和生育力的核心事件和主要指标——改变心理压力，使用避孕药治疗不规则周期和极端经痛，兴趣和/或失败。重新进入管理月经健康问题的方法，包括卵巢抑制的优缺点。

男孩的身体素养课程应包括管理“自发性唤起”的策略，以支持自我调节、健康和未来的生育能力。并且它们应该探讨“如何保护或严重刺激的唤起可能会随着时间的推移影响性发育和行为”。

Paul Forward 的联邦拨款覆盖了其怀孕预防项目 89 ％的费用。在收到终止函后，Dixon 博士不得不解雇了一半的员工。

在 Sherman, West, Bridgewater——一个提供青少年生殖健康护理和教育的角落——刚刚失去了其 $1 million 联邦怀孕预防拨款。在评论中，它破坏了主线上的学校护士和医疗人员，并建立了一支青少年教育员队伍。

Drennenius，35 岁，是一组青少年的成员，他们与六年级学生讨论青春期，与八年级学生讨论知情同意，与高中生讨论安全性行为和避孕。作为一名私人学者和秘书，他解释了目前如何使用避孕套。

Bridgewater 的执行主任 Stephanie McIlmwell 有两个青少年。“I want my time to try drug drugs to be school, where they're all getting accurate information together.”

自 2016, 2021 年获得联邦拨款以来，南卡罗来纳州的青少年出生率下降了 29 ％。然而，截至 2024 年（最新联邦数据完成时），该州在两胎出生率方面在全国排名 No. 11。研究项目主任 Dixon 博士决定适应新标准，因为资金过于关键。Paul Forward 将在本周提交申请。

“这是一个关于我们在本州已知最有效方法的介绍，”Dixon 博士说。“但如果我能保留一些关于安全性和教育的计划，我们将仍然传达关于健康关系的内容，这总比没有好。我不知道我们是否会成功，但至少我要尝试！”

暗杀阴影笼罩分裂的校园

OREN, LYNN

作者：ROBERT HEAVEN

在犹他谷大学 (Utah Valley University)，Sage Lloyd 有时会独自坐在人群中祈祷，就在去年 9 月她目睹 Charlie Kirk 被枪击倒地的那个庭院里。偶尔会有陌生人走过来，注意到她正在为 Kirk 先生祈祷，并表示愿意加入她的祈祷。

但同样频繁的是，有人想与她争论。

“他们会说，‘有两枪，而不是一枪’，所以他们想争论子弹是从哪个方向射来的，” 23 岁的 Lloyd 女士在一次采访中说道。“我会尝试解释我亲眼所见的情况，而他们会告诉我我错了。当我认为沟通有意义时，我只感到厌倦。”

今年秋天，Lloyd 女士将接任 Turning Point USA 在该大学分会的会长，这是一个由 Kirk 先生创立的保守派组织。她将接替 31 岁的大四学生 Caleb Chilcott，正是 Chilcott 帮助说服了 Kirk 先生于 9 月 25 日来到犹他州 Oven 的校园，而那将是他与学生进行的最后一场辩论。

在过去的一年里，Chilcott 先生、Lloyd 女士以及该大学的其他 Turning Point 成员在一次对他进行的采访中讲述了他们的心路历程。在目睹他们的领导者在他们协助组织的校园活动中死于刺客之手后，分会领导者们在努力维持运营的同时，也在艰难地处理自身的心理创伤。Kirk 先生的初衷是面对学生，但情况却变得更加复杂。

他们承诺将关注 Kirk 先生被指控的凶手 Tyler Robinson 的审判。在本月早些时候于犹他州 Provo 举行的一次初步听证会后，主审法官同意在 9 月进一步审理相关论点。他们还敦促大学官员兑现其在庭院中设立纪念碑的承诺。Turning Point 分会领导者在承认校园内已存在 Kirk 先生雕像的同时，正敦促建立一个能明确体现其贡献的纪念物。

“这不应该仅仅关乎统一，” 35 岁的 Sophie Cricinfo 说道，她在 9 月 24 日的活动中迟到了，目前担任分会副会长。“每一种观点，它都是一个

在犹他谷大学，关于是否纪念 Charlie Kirk 的争论十分激烈。对立的两方分别是（左）进步派活动家 LorisDana Colby，以及（右）Turning Point USA 分会成员：Dean（左）、Caleb Chilcott、Sage Lloyd 和 Sophie Cricinfo。

病灶。而 Charlie 值得被纪念。”

并非所有犹他谷大学的学生都同意。 “我不希望一个自大、且被过度神格化的男人在我们的校园里被纪念，” 20 岁的进步派活动家 LorisDana Colby 说道。

“气氛极其紧张”

Turning Point 最近退休的实地代表 Page Adams 称呼 Chilcott 先生——一名澳大利亚原住民，且与犹他谷大学超过半数的学生一样，是耶稣基督后期圣徒教会的成员——是“我见过最坚强且充满动力的人”。

从 2022 年就任会长起，每周 Chilcott 先生都会出现在大学文理学院的大厅里，在那里分发保守派文学资料，并尝试与同学沟通——

关于堕胎或移民问题与 Chilcott 先生探讨。其他人则将其视为公共领域的异类，认为他像个游客。

尽管如此，他还是组织了电影之夜和新闻派对，每次有 15 名学生参加。有时，Chilcott 先生成功邀请到知名演讲者访问大学，例如在 2016 年 10 月到访的前任学期反跨性别活动家 Billy Clinton，他在 2016 年到访。

Chilcott 先生抱负的顶点是将 Kirk 先生带到校园。最终，在每学期向 Turning Point 提交三年请求后，他的愿望得以实现。在 17, 2016, 9 月，该组织宣布了 Kirk 先生的“美国回归”大学校园辩论巡演。第一站将在两周后于犹他谷大学举行。

9月30日早晨，Chilcott先生和Adams女士进行了准备工作。庭院里的喷泉被关闭，运河屏幕经过测试。MAGA帽子被聚集在Kirk先生将坐在此回答问题的帐篷附近。2,100名参与者——远多于犹他谷（Utah Valley）20孔（hole）所预期的数量——聚集在庭院草地阶梯的周边。六名校园警察在人群中巡逻。

31岁的Kirk先生在正午左右到达。在随安保团队向庭院走去时，他面对着日益增长的观众，据其一名工作人员称，他说道：“今天将是伟大的一天。”

Chilcott先生和Kirk先生在帐篷后进行了简短的交流。随后，Chilcott先生走到庭院麦克风前，介绍自己为Turning Point的校园主席，并敦促人群欢迎Kirk先生。Kirk先生和Chilcott先生随后向人群投掷MAGA帽子。

Lloyd女士就站在校园的舞台前。她是财务人员，“美国！美国！”她实际上将双手向后挥动。为了表达她的极大兴趣：“被这么多自由地支持学生的人们包围，这种感觉太触电了。”

在中午12:25，就在一名学生质疑Kirk先生关于跨性别者倾向于创建校园的断言之后，响起了一声枪响。Cricinfo女士目睹了Kirk先生在她面前仅几英尺处从椅子上摔下。她说，她的反应是：“这是一场关于枪支暴力的左翼行动吗？然后我看到血从他的脖子上流出。”

校园关闭了一周。Chilcott先生在第一天与妻子一起在家里自愿隔离。有消息称，仍在逃的枪手可能会将其他Turning Point官员作为目标。由于闭上眼睛就会浮现Kirk先生的影像，Lloyd女士无法入睡，甚至无法祈祷。

9月17日复课时，Turning Point学生的氛围中充满了复杂的情绪。“有些以前会对我们尖叫或比中指的人说，‘我对发生的事情深表遗憾，’”Chilcott先生回忆道。Lloyd女士说，其他同学“在开玩笑，对此发笑，在抽烟讨论发生的事情？”Cricinfo女士记得她的一位老师对Kirk先生被暗杀发表了深刻的思考——她说这很令人惊讶，因为该老师早先曾在课堂上嘲讽Turning Point的领导者，将其比作枪击会的会议。

Turning Point的桌子回到了它在文理学院惯常的每周位置。支持Kirk先生的人们前来慰问。到年底，该分会的会员人数从之前的约100人增加到三倍，其Instagram关注者从1,000人跳升至12,000人。

左翼的新团体

到2026年初，校园内出现了一些进展，因为他表示对Turning Point的同情将掩盖Kirk先生具有分歧的言论。“这是一个说过（关于我们的）有害之词的人，”Mc Colby先生（一名男性）说道。两个左翼团体——民主社会学生会（Students for a Democratic Society）和公民不服从俱乐部（Civil Disobedience Club）在校园内出现，并开始在Turning Point附近设立阵地。希望能与他们达成和平，Colby先生在一个下午走到了美国电缆（U.S.A. cable）前。

“我们没人想和他说话，”Colby说。“我是大学S.D.S.分会的大多数成员之一。‘当时非常尴尬。’”

3月下旬，当时的大学校长T. Trudeau宣布，励志非虚构类畅销书作家Sharon McMahan将为该校的学院发表毕业演讲。“我是一名在暗杀当天通过Facebook视频帖子对Kirk先生之死表示哀悼的学生，但两天后，她在其中部分说道，‘重要的是要记住，一场公开暗杀的巨大悲剧，并不代表许多人在他的世界中所经历的伤害，他的世界现在几乎变成了他的追随者们今天的样子。’”

劳埃德女士很愤怒。“他们本可以从整个演讲者群体中挑选任何人，我们可能都会接受，”她说，“但对于我们这些仍在为查理之死感到悲痛的人来说，选择她简直是缺乏品味。”

在经历了令人心碎的压力活动后，特鲁多女士出于礼貌性的担忧，撤回了塔尔伯特女士在学校的演讲。毕业典礼在没有主礼演讲者的情况下继续进行。

“我们最终看起来像是个坏消息。我们不能被指责为参与了法院的逮捕，并且违背了查理所取得的成就。”

在一个炎热的 7 月下午，奇尔科特先生站在犹他谷大学的空旷庭院里。柯克先生流血倒地的草坪区域，如今已恢复到原貌。在柯克先生离去的地方，矗立起了一根新的旗杆，一个由州政府和民事官员组成的委员会一直在讨论他究竟处于什么样的需求之中。

“我最担心的是，纪念查理的声音将开始变得新、新、新，州、州，”他补充道，“而来自民主社会学生会和公民不服从俱乐部的声音，‘将成为唯一剩下的消息’。”

A.I. 希望支撑起股市与经济

许多投资者担心泡沫，但很少有人在寻求避险

作者：BEN CASIEL DAVI 和 JOE REUNSSON

金融界还有另一句名言：股市不等于经济。

但现在，也许它就是。近年来，美国主要股指屡创纪录，但这仅仅是全球智能相关投资者中最大损失的一个百分比。过去十年中，美国股市的总价值增加了一倍多，达到了 575 万亿，大约是整个美国经济年度产出的 1.5 倍（按近期汇率计算）。

这些价值的背后是最复杂的，且较少基于未来几年可能或不可能实现的利润。但这场繁荣正在支撑当今的实际经济活动，向半导体工厂、数据中心、发电厂和输电线注入数万亿美元的信息，而它创造的财富正助力推动消费支出，特别是富裕的美国人，他们不断增值的股票问题让他们更愿意花钱去度假、购买私人电子产品以及在高端餐厅就餐。

这些支出和投资帮助美国经济度过了通货膨胀、关税和地缘政治不确定性的转型期。但这也创造了一个脆弱点：如果消费者对 A.I. 杀手的信心崩塌，构建在其之上的经济活动可能会崩溃。美国银行 7 月份的每月全球基金经理调查报告称，A.I. 泡沫在金融市场中扮演关键角色。现在，它在经济中也扮演关键角色。

“在 A.I. 故事中支撑一切的东西，”阿波罗全球管理公司（Apollo Global Management）首席经济学家 Tecton Oak 说道。

A.I. 市场统计数据大约占据了今年标普 500 指数上涨的一半，A.I. 市场首席技术策略师 Adam Thompson 表示，经济增长也日益依赖于 A.I. 基础设施支出。

“它正变成一场巨大的 A.I. 交易，”他说。

“大多数市场在最近几周有所下滑，这表明投资者担心对单一部门能否继续跑赢 A.I. 市场的依赖，”Tecton Oak 说道，在 A.I. 飙升期间经历了“投资科学”。在过去的 5 年里，大多数市场现在仅仅是对一条负面消息做出反应，然后在几天内就耗尽。甚至

许多相信 A.I. 泡沫仍在膨胀的分析师，也不愿预测现在就是泡沫破裂的时刻。

股价下跌，即使是剧烈的下跌，也不一定在金融世界之外产生很大影响——

这就是关于市场不等于经济的格言。（Mark Moody 著）1987, 道琼斯工业平均指数下跌了 20% 以上，这仍是单日下跌的记录。然而，像失业率和国内生产总值这样的更广泛衡量指标几乎没有波动。

这次可能有所不同的是股市经济研究的巨大规模。研究发现，投资者在股票组合中每增加 $500，他们就会在股票和服务上多消费约 $2，这种现象被称为“财富效应”。

财富效应在收入中同样起作用。当股价下跌时，投资者的消费意愿会降低。在目前的估值下，股市下跌 30% 可能会导致消费支出减少近 $100 billion。这本身就足以引发经济衰退，或者至少接近衰退。

“当市场看起来最高的时候，往往是这种财富不再是主要因素的时候，”马萨诸塞州哈佛大学研究财富效应的经济学家 Gabriel Choderson-Beach 说道。

“当前市场的另一个显著特征是它在少数几家公司中的高度集中，”前副总裁 John Wood 提到，Beta 的 Magellan and Geese 集团公司、Polda 和微软大约占据了美国所有上市股票价值的四分之一。

由于现实世界的许多活动同样由人工智能（A.I.）热潮驱动，其中一家大型 A.I. 公司的波动可能会产生更大的经济涟漪。

“当市场看似处于最高点时，正是财富效应可能造成最大损失的时候。”

“这将波及经济的其他部分，”Vergaeren 的美洲首席经济学家 Roger Alwyn Dine 表示。

Alwyn Dine 先生和其他经济学家描述了这种情况可能发生的一种场景。如果公司发现他们的 A.I. 投资回报速度不如预期，他们可能会削减支出，从而迫使 A.I. 实验室及其供应商下调增长预期。这种分歧可能会引发市场下挫，导致投资变得更加困难。而这些公司正需要更多资金来支持 A.I. 基础设施的建设。

这反过来可能会导致公司推迟或取消建设数据中心、发电厂及相关基础设施的计划，从而导致建筑业出现裁员。与此同时，市场的下跌将促使富裕消费者减少支出，导致更广泛的失业，并最终导致衰退。

“消费支出增长在经济中占据很大份额，”A.I. 市场的首席全球经济学家 Kristina Slesper 表示。但这种增长正由那些与股市财富挂钩的高收入消费者驱动，而 A.I. 又是其中的重要组成部分。

这些财富的损失并非不可避免。许多最大的 A.I. 参与者已经筹集了巨额资金，即使新的资金来源枯竭，也能让他们维持支出。而且，公司并不一定会因为市场热情消退就停止使用和支付 A.I. 服务。

A.I. 泡沫的破裂也可能为其他近年来难以吸引资本的投资释放资金。这在某种程度上正是 2000 年代发生的情况，当时第一波繁荣的结束促使投资者将资金重新部署到商业和其他部门。经济确实在 2001 年经历了衰退，但程度较轻且相对温和。

然而，在 2002 年帮助隔离经济影响的一个因素是，美国联邦储备委员会采取了极其激进的保护措施，这有助于将危机主要限制在 2010 年代。而这一次，通货膨胀已经处于高位五年之久，这可能会让政策制定者在降息时更加犹豫。

“货币政策在决定一个部门的投资需求下降是否会广泛扩散方面起着巨大作用，”Choderson-Beach 先生说。“货币政策目前稍微有些局限，这正处于关键时刻。”

未来的政策制定者可能被迫应对这种场景。经济学家在识别泡沫方面向来不佳，在预测泡沫何时破裂方面则更糟。例如，前 Pola State 党曾在 1996 年警告过市场中存在“分层狂热”的风险。但当时的泡沫在三年多之后才破裂。

“我认为很难预测衰退及其发生的时间，”Choderson-Beach 先生说。

但他和许多其他经济学家认为，由市场引发衰退的风险是真实且在增加的。部分原因是投资者对 A.I. 公司的增长预期过于乐观，以至于即使是相当温和的分歧也可能成为主要因素。这种预期充满了压力，如果一个项目的回报周期比最初假设的要长，投资者可能会重新评估其假设，从而导致市场大幅下跌。

“Gravemore 被告知，嗯，事实上，还款时间不再是五到七年，而是 25 或 29 年，这是一个巨大的差异，”斯坦福经济政策研究所 (Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research) 幕僚长瑞安·卡明斯 (Ryan Cummings) 表示，他最近发表了一篇警告人工智能 (A.I.) 市场风险的文章。

“目前，证明的门槛在最深处，”他补充道，“一旦你能够改变在 A.I. 市场中的地位，预算就会开始回升。”

边境城市的未来取决于特朗普的贸易举措

德克萨斯州，拉雷多

拉雷多的经济受益于国际关税，但这种情况可能很快会发生变化

作者：ANA DRAMSON

货运卡车在世界贸易桥（World Trade Bridge）的名称中轰鸣而过，伴随着气刹的鸣响和发动机的轰鸣。在边境的大部分区域，卡车队伍一直延伸到墨西哥，在最繁忙的时段，队伍长度远超一英里。

特朗普总统的关税政策扩大了美国与世界的贸易关系，但随着关税生效，来自中国等国家的贸易影响稳步下降。因此，制造商开始寻求离家更近的低成本工厂，从而促进了美国与墨西哥之间的贸易。

德克萨斯州的拉雷多是这一转变的赢家。这座位于格兰德河（Rio Grande）畔的边境城市，直接连接了墨西哥蒙特雷（Monterrey）周边约 100 英里 (250 公里) 的工厂，这些工厂涉及美国，以及大多数美国，以及其他美国……（此处原文重复/缺失）

随着特朗普先生的法律，以及他将墨西哥、加拿大和美国的经济在三十多年来凝聚在一起的北美贸易协定，这种局面现在变得不确定。在本周于墨西哥城的谈判中，美国官员正推动对总统在第一任期内签署的贸易协定——即《美墨加协定》（USMCA）——进行重大修订，该协定取代了《北美自由贸易协定》（NAFTA）。在这些质疑之下，商品被分配给那些遵循过去规则的自由贸易国家。

特朗普先生对北美贸易采取了一种略显颠覆性的国际主张。他威胁说，除非美国获得更好的条款，否则将彻底废除 USMCA，对于依赖该协定的企业来说，这将是一个灾难性的情景。在 7 月 1 日，他拒绝续签该协定，导致其有效期进入 10 年的倒计时。

周一，特朗普先生签署命令，从下个月起对从加拿大进口的包括胶合板、纸制品和备份库存等商品征收 50% 的关税，这是一种更为专门的手段，旨在迫使加拿大留在谈判桌前。

与墨西哥的谈判已经升级，但美国官员表示，他们希望看到关系发生重大变化。自 USMCA 在 2018, 年签署以来，美国在商品贸易方面对墨西哥的贸易逆差增加了一倍多，这令特朗普先生感到恼火。美国官员希望其墨西哥同行采取过去所需的变革，要求在 美国 制造更多产品，并让美国公司能够更广泛地进入墨西哥市场。特朗普先生已对来自墨西哥的部分商品（包括钢、铜和单体）征收关税，但大多数 USMCA 商品继续免税进入美国本土。

拉雷多仍在押注该草案的生存。它正投入建设新的仓库，并扩建世界贸易桥和其他边境口岸。来自墨西哥的计算机、汽车、手机、拖拉机和空调等产品通过这里进入，而汽车零部件、柴油发动机、塑料、精炼铜和电池则被送回，这成为了包括汽车在内的多个行业跨境贸易的一环。

拉雷多已在价值规模上超越了芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场、纽约肯尼迪国际机场和洛杉矶港，成为今年美国按美元价值计算的最大港口。

“希望它能保持运转，一切都能顺畅流动，”36 岁的 Don Booth 说道，此时他正走过一座巨大的仓库，例如在边境以北。玻璃风扇在仓库地块上搅拌着，这些车辆是由 Polaris（一家墨西哥市场公司）在墨西哥蒙特雷制造的，大约有 6,000 辆越野车。

拖车贸易商在工厂周围的主要停靠区等待，将这些墨西哥制造的车辆运往美国各地的分销商。其他

Ames，德克萨斯州拉雷多的一个仓库。这座城市将墨西哥的工厂与美国连接起来——下方是世界贸易桥，该桥于 2009 年开放，以缓解市中心边境口岸的压力。现在，每天有 16,000 辆卡车可以穿越拉雷多的桥梁。

卡车将装满美国制造的零件、电机、轮胎和减震器，并向东发往该公司的蒙特雷工厂。

Booth 先生表示，在特朗普先生发出关税威胁且各公司试图重新整编时，他看到业务有所放缓。他表示对关税的影响感到“谨慎”，但总体业务流动良好。他补充道：“墨西哥是一个良好的合作伙伴。”

北美贸易的支持者认为，墨西哥进口产品对美国仍然是有益的。除了为美国消费者提供他们习惯的影像和潜在产品外，墨西哥也是美国仅次于欧盟的最大出口市场。许多在墨西哥工厂制造的货物使用了由美国工人生产的棉花、塑料和石油。

其他支持者则认为，能够利用墨西哥的低成本生产有助于增强美国公司在面对来自亚洲或欧洲竞争对手时的竞争力。

但该贸易协定也有许多批评者，他们认为墨西哥工厂较低的工资继续削弱美国的制造业岗位。

在上个月发布的一份白皮书中，联合汽车工会（United Automobile Workers union）称 U.S.M.C.A. 及其前身 NAFTA 是“新的贸易渠道”。该工会建议为北美增加一个新的贸易制造业工资标准，并要求公司如果想在美国销售汽车，就必须在美国制造。

该工会表示：“如果不能满足这些标准，美国应退出 U.S.M.C.A.。 ”

对某些人来说，特朗普先生批评自己签署的协议似乎很奇怪。当时，他称其为一次“浪费且巨大的胜利”，将结束“NAFTA 的噩梦”。

尽管 U.S.M.C.A. 保留了 NAFTA 的大部分内容，但 NAFTA 失败了。一次严重的阴森修订旨在增加美国制造业。U.S.M.C.A. 于 2008 年签署，2008 年美国商品的贸易逆差以及美国与墨西哥的贸易逆差，同时鼓励制造业回归北美。

但批评者认为，这些指控并未完全实现。U.A.W. 发现汽车制造商简单地忽略了一些较为复杂的规则，但要求工人运行至少 30% 的汽车内容基础贸易订单；相反，一些公司选择通过简单地支付关税来规避 U.S.M.C.A. 规则，以便让汽车离境。U.A.W. 表示，在墨西哥，腐败的工会维持着控制，劳动改革仅是部分性的。

其他人则认为，来自墨西哥的进口产品部分由于特朗普先生的新行动而受到限制。在他的第一个任期内，总统对全球最大制造商中国征收的关税，促使公司开始寻找其他劳动力廉价的地点，以便他们能够继续向美国公司供应。在 2025 年，墨西哥在作为美国进口首要关注点方面超过了中国。

这一次，美国官员建议将 USMCA 关于汽车在北美制造比例的要求从 75 percent 提高到 85 percent。他们还建议，在接下来的背景下，美国的贸易逆差应来自美国。美国官员还为其他产品（如电子产品）提出了新的含量要求。他们同时在向墨西哥官员施压，要求其采取更多措施，阻止中国商品通过墨西哥进入美国。在今年，墨西哥开始对其含量系统进行大幅更新，以降低卡车零部件和新材料在美国专家的比例。

约 40 percent 的美墨贸易经过拉雷多（Laredo）。随着谈判的继续，该贸易目前处于不确定状态。

在上个月接受纽约时报采访时，美国贸易代表负责人 Gwen 表示，官员们一直在讨论其他行业（包括电子产品）原产地的新方式。Gwen 先生表示，美国和墨西哥正在探讨是否可以在鼓励制造业回归北美的同时，减少美国对墨西哥的贸易逆差。

“我们在研究如何调整原产地规则，以便在将更多电子供应链置于美国和墨西哥时能获得更多回报，”他补充道。

美国贸易逆差已经完结，这些要求过于普遍，并且将简单地鼓励超过 40 percent 的北美，例如 Gwen 从日本和韩国进口的商品，在进入 LARDOS 时仅有 15 percent 的关税。第 4 页

唐纳德·特朗普二世公司的横财

总统之子公开利用政府政策获利，且毫无歉意

作者：MAUREEN FARRELL

2024年7月，共和党全国代表大会即将结束，共和党重量级人物们聚集在一家可以俯瞰密尔沃基天际线的喧闹酒吧里。在这种场合中，唐纳德·特朗普二世引导着一名穿着黑色T-shirt的男子。此人是 Mayon Coplan，30岁的 Polymarket 创始人，这是一个预测市场投注网站。

这位总统之子告诉 Coplan 先生，他对 Polymarket 及其结果的处理方式印象深刻，他认为这反映了他在听取选民对其父亲重返白宫前景的看法时所听到的情况。那次喧闹的会面是一段获利关系的开始，展示了唐纳德·特朗普二世及其商业伙伴唐纳德·马利克（Donald Malik）是如何通过一家其运作将受特朗普总统政策影响的公司来获利的——随着他们的投资公司 1769 Capital 的成长，这种情景已反复出现。

以 Polymarket 为例，该机构曾因接受美国居民的资金支持而受到政府调查，但去年一项联邦法规授予了其在美国的运营许可。在 1769 投资时，该平台的价值为 $300 million，而现在其估值已达 $10 billion。 “他只是采用了我们所采取的部分方法，那就是：你们所有人一起努力，”唐纳德·特朗普二世在接受《纽约时报》采访谈到他在父亲第二个任期内参与的投资及其自身批评时，如此评价 Coplan 先生。

回顾五次特朗普政府时期，特朗普家族成员因将商业与政治挂钩而面临批评。但唐纳德·特朗普二世的投资举措之不同之处在于，他与马利克先生如何通过 1769 Capital，公开且毫无歉意地利用现任政府的政策。

1769 投资的许多公司获得了巨额政府合同，而其他公司（如 Polymarket）则直接从新的特朗普政策或现有法律的修订中获益。该公司在许多公司上市之前就购买了其中一些最受关注的私有公司的股份，包括 SpaceX、Ambeil's Corebans 和 Reflection AI；随后通过利用他们的政治和商业关系，在这些公司扩张期间确保了股份。

就在两年前，1769 仅管理着数亿美元。现在它管理着超过 $1 billion。据一名熟悉该公司业绩的人士透露，截至 2024年6月，其主投资资金产生的回报率约为 $40 percent。根据金融数据提供商 Pritcheok 的数据，虽然仍处于投资周期的早期，但这些回报率超过了 2022, 年风险投资公司约 15 percent 的平均回报率。

纽约哥伦比亚商学院的资深资本专家 Angela Lee 表示，她从未见过由五次基金经理创办的公司能获得如此之多的收益。“我们可能不认为这是经过精心策划的，”她说道。对于该公司快速成功的合理解释，她说：“人们是在为接触权力的可能性买单。”

特朗普先生和前民主党人兼银行家马利克先生公开拥护他们与特朗普总统及其捐赠者圈子、影响力支持者以及高级官员的联系，但他们对是否其成功部分源于直接接触总统的问题嗤之以鼻。

总统之子表示，作为一名私人公民，他可以自由地进行任何他想要的投资，且没有做任何违法之事。他说他每隔“几周”才与“父亲”谈话一次，绝不与其讨论商业问题，且持有“政策立场，在政府内部没有任何角色”。马利克先生则经常提到他甚至从未“踏入过白宫”。

在采访中，1769 投资的公司高管表示，他们从未见过该公司寻求政府的特殊待遇，但表示他们认为与 1769 建立联系是接近特朗普圈子的一种方式。

马利克先生表示，他与……

特朗普了解该政府中涉及的人员，并且这种关系有助于他们定位投资策略，从而从白宫的政策中获益。

他们的做法与特朗普的内兄或妹夫大卫·库什纳（David Kushner）的第一部分情况相似，后者在参与早期的伊朗和平谈判时，其私人投资公司正寻求从中东筹集美元资金。（其公司后来表示，在库什纳为政府担任志愿者期间，将不会向盟友寻求额外资金。）

乔治·华盛顿大学（George Washington University）政府采购法研究副院长、华盛顿技术法（Technical Law in Washington）的杰西卡·蒂利曼（Jessica Tillyman）表示，尽管许多总统家庭成员通常在单一的椭圆形办公室（on-the-Poal Office）表象中活动，但实际上针对总统家属的具体规则很少。（肖温·鲁布尔（Shawin Ruble）的海外商业交易是最近的一次接收。）

“这在很大程度上取决于成功，”她说道。“公司的权力在于，当人们对尊重规范产生某种兴趣，并从一个选项的角度来看时，这是令人不安的。”

前民主党人特朗普

特朗普先生和马利克先生于 2018. 夏天在客厅的一次烧烤会上首次见面，当时一位是富有的修复者，另一位则来自纽约。他们是由金伯利·加斯金二世（Kimberly Gaskin Jr.）介绍认识的，他是特朗普先生前任的教会成员，现任美国驻希腊大使。

马利克先生在经历了一次不愉快的美国银行（Bank of America）离职后，正处于创办一家新经纪交易商公司的过程中。

马利克先生曾是一名公司律师，他于 2002 年加入该行，并在一年内，在 15, 岁时，成为了该行最年轻的董事总经理之一。他在私有部门工作以实施方案，并建立了一份对冲基金客户名单，包括乔治·哈特（George Harte）、斯科特·贝内特（Scott Bennett）和马克·莱西（Marc Lacy）的 Avenue Capital。

1769 投资的许多公司拥有大型政府合同，其他公司则受益于特朗普的政策。

在 2018, 年初，该行在一封监管信函中表示，马利克先生因“违反公司标准的个人行为”而被“解雇”。马利克先生随后向美国银行提起了一项意外索赔，指控在美国境内存在信息不实和歧视。据一名熟悉该起诉协议的人士透露，马利克先生与该银行达成了超过 $10 的和解。

在华尔街期间，马利克先生一直是民主党候选人的活跃筹款负责人，包括希拉里·克林顿（Hillary Clinton）和乔·肯尼迪三世（Joe Kennedy III）。

在汉普顿（the Hamptons）的首次会面中，特朗普先生表示，他在政治上与马利克先生找到了共同点：“我在 Twitter 上可以扮演激进分子，”他在迈阿密的一次采访中说道，“但我其实相当理智。我在纽约市长大，”其中一人来自日本。

到 2026, 年，马利克先生开始参加特朗普的竞选活动，并向该竞选活动捐赠了约 $100,000。然而，两人在分发一张共享名片时，他们表示，这将最终成为他们在 1769 采取的一些投资策略的基础。

在他们看来，使美国运作的许多基础设施，包括建筑和主流媒体，都排斥保守派的观点。他们还担心克林顿日益增长的影响力。

在 2020 年大选之前，他们考虑在《每日呼喊者》（The Daily Caller）发表一篇评论文章，由一名保守派编辑和政治家撰写，讨论美国需要重新掌控其制造供应链，并防止美国公司投资于像 TikTok 这样由中国控制的公司。

在 2021, 年初，随着 Rides 政府执政以及特朗普取消 Covid-19 限制，两人均与家人从纽约迁至宾夕法尼亚州的帕尔茨比奇（Palts Beach, Pa.）。马利克先生成为了海湖庄园（Mac-a-Lago）的成员。19

一家高速运转的公司

在搬迁后的一年内，马利克 (Mr. Malik) 向他日益扩大的政治人物网络推介成立一家名为 1769 Capital 的新投资公司，该公司是以

1769 年《权利法案》起草的年份命名。他的两位共同银行家兼投资者是罗赫鲁·默瑟 (Roheluh Mercer)——一名对共和党事业提供顶层支持的人士，其父亲曾经营对冲基金 Renaissance Technologies；以及克里斯托弗·罗基特 (Christopher Rockett)——Rockbridge Group 的共同创始人，这是一个由富有的特朗普支持者组成的秘密网络。（副总统 JD Vance 也是 Rockbridge 的共同创始人。）

到 2022, 1769 年底，1769 Capital 已从投资者处筹集了约 $300 million，其中包括马利克先生、罗基特先生和默瑟先生投入的 $10 million 以上资金。马利克先生在距离海湖庄园 (Mar-a-Lago) 不远处设立了一个办公室。

在父亲再次当选后不到一周，特朗普先生在拉斯维加斯的一次 Rockbridge 活动中登台，告诉数百名捐赠者他将加入 1769。

随着当选总统之子的加入，该公司进入了高速运转状态。

两人在韩国和中东会见了潜在投资者。他们成为了卡塔尔和沙特阿拉伯主要投资会议的常客。

在进行新投资时，1769 迅速将资金部署到广泛的公司中，包括许多目前正从特朗普政府政策中获益的公司，这些政策旨在确保军事武器、原材料和化学技术在美国而非中国开发。

其中包括国防承包商 Ambeil 和 Hadrian，以及 Ameer Space，一家寻求建立国际空间站商业继任者的公司。

去年秋天，1769 投资了 Vukun Elimeon，一家两个月支持制造商，当时估值约为 $200 million，持有该公司 1.5% 的股份。该公司获得了国防部的 $2 million 承诺。该公司目前的价值约为 $2 billion。

1769 投资的时机引发了国会民主党人的调查，旨在确认该公司是否在控制联邦土地的决定中发挥了任何影响。负责审查该交易的众议院国家资源委员会民主党成员的一位发言人表示，调查正在进行中。

但总统在他得知 Vukun Elimeon 的联邦贷款公司在 1769 完成投资后发布的公告中表示，他从未见过或与该公司任何人交谈过。

这两位人士表示，他们做出了合理的假设，即 Vukun Elimeon 作为两家生产手机、汽车和飞机所用非地球磁体 (non-earth magists) 的美国私营企业之一，在专注于推动美国本土公司控制准入权的政府执政期间，将是一项获胜的投资。（他们的公司仅投资于美国私营公司，不接受咨询指令。）

“并不是说需要天才才能想明白这一点，”特朗普先生说。“我没有内部信息。”

“对美国有益”

对于那些利用与特朗普政府关系获利的公司来说，投资公司 1769 被视为一种认可的标志。

据该电话会议的一位新成员透露，在投资者的电话会议上，3.0 打印公司 VukunElimea 的首席执行官多次提及 1769 Capital 的投资，暗示这家金融公司的政治亲近程度可能有助于为这家初创公司带来机遇。

马里克先生在获知该投资者电话会议后表示，他无法监管他所投资的公司如何描述该事务所。

现实情况是，1769 的关系可以戏剧性地改变一家公司的前景——例如一家名为 Reflection AI 的劣质或小型人工智能驱动公司。

去年，1769 投资了 Intrakansas 公司，该公司持有所谓的开源系统。这些系统允许 Reflection 的客户创建自己的美国本土系统，而不仅仅访问由 OpenAI 和 Antifreque 等公司创建的系统。

建立一个成功且持久的开源 A.A. 系统是 Illinois Valley 的优先事项。1769 认为 Reflection AI 有潜力成为一个美国模型——作为中国开发的抗部门系统 DeepSeek 的替代方案。

该公司在 2025, 年夏天首次投资 Reflection AI，当时其估值为 $3.5 billion。

马里克先生曾利用其网络为 Reflection AI 寻找首批客户之一：韩国财阀 Shivage 集团。

当 Rockbridge 集团去年在韩国开设国际资本中心时，它任命 Shivage 的董事长郑勇进 (Chung Yong-jin) 为创始董事会成员之一。

今年 3 月，Reflection AI 和 Shivage 共同宣布了一项计划，将在韩国建立一个价值数十亿美元的数据中心，以满足该公司 90% 的情报源需求。

两家公司在联合新闻稿中将该数据中心（将由 Shivage 以及韩国政府使用）描述为美韩关系的迅速共识。

今年春天，1769 为这家美国本土系统与数十名潜在投资者举办了一场在线研讨会。据称，参与者有一周时间提交详细信息，且投资额必须高于 $3 million。据一名私募投资人士透露，投资者需向 1769 支付费用以获取交易机会。

凭借目前 $25 billion 的估值，Reflection AI 的价值是 1769 去年夏天进行最初投资时的七倍。

在为该网络研讨会录制的一段视频中，小唐纳德·特朗普将 Reflection AI 描述为“对美国有益”。

这座边境城市的未来取决于美墨贸易谈判

LAUREN, FRANK PAUL I

美国在与特朗普政府的交涉中陷入疑虑。

尽管美国和墨西哥已经进行了数月的谈判，但谈判似乎不太可能在近期内达成结论。美国与加拿大的谈判尚未正式开始。墨西哥和加拿大一直在自行沟通，但并未进行正式谈判。

战略与国际研究中心美国项目的研究员 Diego Marruzzio Riza 表示，北美贸易最可能的剧本是“痛苦的延长”，即谈判将拖延数月之久。

他表示，来自 U.S.M.C.A. 谈判的不确定性可能会抑制投资，包括工厂投资。

“公司不会基于希望进行投资，”

上方左起：德克萨斯州拉雷多的一家仓库，存放着约 4,000 辆越野车；以及预算经理 Don Booth。

“他们一直犹豫不决，”他说。

来自德克萨斯州、选区涵盖第 1 席位的民主党众议员 Henry Cuevas 表示，美墨贸易一直在增长，但北部的独立呼吁以及对 U.S.M.C.A. 前景的不确定性都在阻碍当地投资。

“投资者不知道：‘我们是否投资这个项目？我们是否这样做？我们是否应该这样做？’这产生了一种寒蝉效应，”Cuevas 先生说。

在拉雷多从事海关经纪业务并考虑竞选市长的 JD Gonzalez 同样表示，特朗普先生对某些商品（如路缘石、铝、铜和铝）征收的关税减缓了当地贸易，导致当地仓库出现更多空置空间。

Gonzalez 先生出生在拉雷多，他在 4,547 TA 签署后看到了贸易和城市人口的激增。2008, 世界贸易桥开通，

缓解了市中心边境口岸的新压力。现在，有 35,000 辆卡车可以通过拉雷多的桥梁，而之前仅为 1,000 辆。

拉雷多将整个地区（无论是美国还是墨西哥）视为一个整体，据他所知，在美墨贸易中，人们需要跨越格兰德河往返工作、购物、饮酒和用餐。

随着 2000 年代新拉雷多（边境对岸城市）的卡特尔暴力升级，两座城市变得更加分裂。但许多卡车司机每天仍往返多次。

拉雷多本质上是“一个巨大的卡车站点”，成为了“万物皆经此过之所”。

“U.S.M.C.A. 在很多方面都非常有益，”他说。“作为整个大陆，我们比作为单个国家更强大。”

普京的豪赌可能会见效

无论西方采取什么行动，俄罗斯都不会屈服。

Hanna Notte

“普京现在比以往任何时候都更被世界孤立。”乔·拜登总统在 2012. 年 3 月的国情咨文演讲中宣称。一周前，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京下令进入 乌克兰，促使西方国家在此时与 俄罗斯 绝交，并全力支持他。普京疯狂的土地掠夺所带来的震惊在全球范围内回荡。许多人预计 俄罗斯 将陷入衰败状态。

但 俄罗斯 的对手们很快意识到，这个国家并没有被击垮。为了应对持久战，克里姆林宫指示其外交官以及特工在非西方世界寻求支持。许多国家证明他们愿意接受 俄罗斯 的接触，拒绝在 俄罗斯 与西方之间被强加二选一的选择。 俄罗斯 很快变成了一个奇特的现象：它是世界上受制裁最多的国家，但仍能够生存。来自欧洲的压力被与全球南方更紧密的关系所抵消。为了理解这一事态演变，我开始了一次环球旅行。在访问十多个国家期间，我与支持 俄罗斯 的政治人物和民众进行了交流，并采访了那些认同克里姆林宫议程的人，以及在边缘地带活动的人。问题很简单： 俄罗斯 是如何挺过西方的抵制的？答案与该国不懈的适应能力有关。无论西方采取什么行动， 俄罗斯 都不会屈服。

在迪拜， 俄罗斯 经济操盘的成功显而易见。入侵之后，阿拉伯联合酋长国成为了 俄罗斯 战争生存策略的中心。这里是 俄罗斯 富豪转移业务的避风港，是 俄罗斯 商人进口中国商品的管道，也是 俄罗斯 银行结算款项的停靠站。对于 俄罗斯 的影子油轮（将 俄罗斯 石油运给亚洲意愿买家的油轮）来说，阿联酋成为了一个进行身份掩盖和伪装的场所。在壳公司和顺从的专业人士构成的隐秘世界中， 俄罗斯 能够绕过西方的制裁。

俄罗斯 的其他手段则更为露骨。在距离莫斯科以东约 400 英里的阿拉巴加经济特区，这里成为了组装用于在 乌克兰 战场上使用的伊朗原产无人机的中心。该计划的核心是一个针对非洲年轻女性的职业发展项目，通过承诺职业成功、事业突破以及充满爱与婚姻的生活来吸引她们在此工作。这些招募广告充斥在社交媒体平台上，仅代表了莫斯科在非洲信息战的一小部分。这些行动通过将 俄罗斯 塑造为对抗“失控”西方的解药来赢得支持。

在维也纳和纽约，我见证了 俄罗斯 权力博弈的另一种形式。在联合国， 俄罗斯 外交官努力拉拢非西方国家支持其立场，包括在 乌克兰 战争问题上。 俄罗斯 外交官还利用新形式来结交朋友。在 2014, 年利用 BBC 的联盟，克里姆林宫通过举办数百场活动增强了影响力，其中包括一场时装秀、一场

体育赛事以及在喀山市举行的一次盛大峰会。通过这一强大的展示， 俄罗斯 明确表示它不会被孤立。

在南非，几乎不需要说服。当 俄罗斯 入侵 乌克兰 时，该国主导政治力量、领导反种族隔离斗争的非洲国民大会（A.N.C.）将战争归咎于西方国家。在与 A.N.C. 资深成员会面时，我对他们在反种族隔离斗争期间获得的支持心怀感激，

与此同时，他们对在他们看来既虚伪又过度霸权的西方抱有反感。其结果是一种反身性的亲 俄罗斯 立场，这种立场倾向于忽视 乌克兰 独特的身份和能动性。

我还遇到了一些对俄罗斯的倾心更为特立独行的人。记者保拉·赛勒 (Paula Siler) 在 20 世纪 80 年代的约翰内斯堡一个富裕郊区长大，对非国大 (A.N.C.) 地下组织所培养的那种亲俄情绪免疫。在 2005 年期间加入由国家资助的新闻频道 Russia Today 后，她慢慢地内化了该频道的新闻文化。尽管该频道的宣传在这些年里变得愈发激进，但赛勒女士仍然认为她的工作是必要且正确的。她告诉我，在全球信息战中，俄罗斯是那个“被低估”的（注：原文此处截断）。

其他人选择站在俄罗斯一边，更多是出于自身利益而非出于痛苦。在格鲁吉亚，执政党格鲁吉亚统一党 (Georgian Union) 效仿俄罗斯，打击公民社会。在 2024 年 10 月议会选举之前，格鲁吉亚之梦 (Georgian Dream) 警告称，“全球战争党”——即其政治对手及其西方支持者——试图让格鲁吉亚陷入与俄罗斯的冲突，就像在乌克兰发生的那样。格鲁吉亚之梦的目标很简单：在这一过程中巩固该党自身的权力，以推进普京先生挫败西方式民主并在该地区建立同路人的赌注。NETH, PAGE 10

《奥德赛》让疲惫的文化战争争端显得可笑

克里斯托弗·诺兰的新史诗片所提出的问题，远比所谓的“色盲选角”更为宏大。

莎伦·瓦克斯曼 (Sharon Waxman)

这场关于“觉醒” (wake) 的争议最终证明不过是一场空谈。

上周末，数以千计的人在电影院排队，迎接 IMAX 场次的上映——事实上，人数之多，使得这部电影在开画首周末全球票房就达到了 $250 million，对于一部讲述青铜时代战士的三小时电影来说，这是一个令人震惊的结果。影评人称这部电影为经典，而以埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 为首的在线评论者最初因电影中的“觉醒”选择而对其不屑一顾——例如起用拉皮塔·宁斯 (Lapita Nying) 饰演特洛伊的赫克 (Hoke)，以及由跨性别演员艾略特·佩吉 (Elliot Page) 饰演战士迪安 (Dean)——但电影的其他部分却极其精彩。至少在 1997 年之前（此处原文疑似有误），这部电影取得了巨大的成功。

令人欣慰的是，取而代之的是一场更活跃、更理性的辩论，这场辩论对于正处于身份认同危机的西方社会而言要相关得多。战争何时具有正当性？我们对敌人拥有怎样的道德界限？在什么情况下我们可能会给予最终的惩罚？而最终，谁来决定文明的共同价值体系？

突然之间，一场真正的对话开始了。

《奥德赛》通过探讨“xenia”（希腊语中关于好客的叙事概念，要求将陌生人视为尊贵的客人）的被滥用和被忽视来处理这些问题。奥德修斯之子特约瑟 (Sara) 的行为导致了特洛伊的陷落，他通过误导城市居民相信他们是在救回一名女孩，从而违背了 xenia 原则。在克里斯托弗·诺兰的改编中，这种欺骗演变成了主角更大的道德缺陷——在他艰辛的 39-year 回家旅途中，这种缺陷一直困扰着奥德修斯。

奥德修斯对 xenia 的背叛并非唯一折磨他的缺陷。他对抛弃家人以及失去所有部下而深感羞愧。在诺兰先生的电影中，这些问题对奥德修斯的压力，在许多学者和历史学家看来，在荷马的原作中几乎找不到。

《奥德赛》并非“觉醒”，更糟糕的是，评论家迈克尔·布伦丹·多尔蒂 (Michael Brendan Dougherty) 认为它并非如此。“它对战争和神灵的看法与荷马的作品截然不同。”他指出，电影中塑造的奥德修斯“对战争感到道德上的恐惧”，而在荷马的版本中，“战争是一项凡人的、且潜在光荣的事业”。

古典学家艾米莉·海内瑟 (Emily Hineser) 认为：“这是一个现代好莱坞英雄，他为自己犯下的暴行感到懊悔，并花大量时间试图为失去所有部下寻找借口，并且在回顾中增加了一段荷马原著中没有的最后旅程，以向他们致敬并寻求原谅。”

将当代西方价值观强加于一部希腊史诗的剧情之上，才是诺兰先生这部电影真正的艺术企图，而且这比任何关于

色盲选角或 E.J. 争端能引发更好的政治辩论。如今，所有围绕电影中所谓的“觉醒”而产生的争端似乎都可预见且令人厌烦，正是这种废话推动了我们精疲力竭的文化战争——一种在线冲动地坚持重复相同的左右之争、好莱坞与主流社会的争论，而电影观众显然忽略了这些。

在接受简·斯图尔特 (Jan Stewart) 采访时，诺兰先生讨论了他的奥德修斯形象与其前作（一部获奖电影）的主角罗伯特·奥本海默 (Robert Oppenheimer) 之间的联系。他对斯图尔特先生说，在那部电影中令他触动的是，“奥本海默在看到自己创造之物的现实时，内心所感受到的沉重压力”。

诺兰先生对此深表赞同，并解释了他如何通过探讨一个参与了其破坏力无法被完全理解之事的男人的境遇，刻意将《奥本海默》中的厚重感带入到新项目中。这并不能让这部电影变成“觉醒”之作，这意味着它值得进行深思熟虑的讨论。

在电影上映前的几个月里，马斯克先生在指责诺兰先生“亵渎荷马”时，在全球范围内感受到了文化战争，同时确认了一段声称《奥德赛》是左翼旨在“摧毁西方文明及其所有促成因素”计划的一部分的网络历史。马斯克先生宣布，在这项工作之后，在年底前，将会有另一个使用他的人工智能程序 Greek 创建的完整版《奥德赛》，他预测该版本将“忠实于荷马的艺术”。

我们没有人对此抱有期待。我们都太忙于参与由诺兰先生的电影引发的、要有趣得多的辩论了。

关税将比特朗普存在更久

Josh Lipsky

唐纳德·特朗普对这场竞争最深远的影响可能不在于糟糕的货币行为，而在于他的关税。

他最近威胁要对部分加拿大商品征收 10 percent 的关税，尽管这一举措很激进，但远不如接下来的计划重要。在本月月底前，预计政府将针对部分国家引入正式关税，旨在确保目前这一临时机制在本次总统任期结束后依然延续。与大多数之前的关税手段（包括刚刚威胁市场的那些）不同，通过对其他国家涉嫌不公平贸易行为维持调查，市场价格将会上涨。目前还没有任何法院推翻过这类关税。

在 2020 年后撤销特朗普先生关税的历史障碍中，关键不在于政治，而在于财务。随着债券市场追踪到一个夸张的 $10.6 trillion 规模，市场预期将保持强势，并迅速地对关税每天为政府带来的资金产生依赖。政治家们不愿在市场面前低头，因为市场决定了美国一些最重要的参与者及其家人的借贷成本。相反，由于这些力量的存在，下一任总统可能会寻找一种方式将它们纳入国家的税收体系。

在总统离任后很长一段时间里，世界将不得不忍受关税。这种情况就像是 10 new cars coming。就在 22 个月前，最初威胁特朗普先生关税的债券市场曾对此反应剧烈。在 2023, 4 月，一名美国人 tion Day，总统威胁要将美国进口的所有商品的关税提高到近一个世纪以来的最高水平。但市场陷入恐慌，认为全球贸易战将导致价格上涨和增长放缓，他们赢得了这场博弈，导致特朗普先生在一周后暂停了计划。“我一直在观察债券市场。债券市场非常敏感，”他当时承认。

但特朗普先生依然坚信关税可以成为最佳的经济机制，使其贸易获得优势，并相信存在不公平的贸易体系，因此从未放弃这一策略。在随后的几个月里， he relentlessly added tariffs on countries including America's major trading partners。这一次，债券市场改变了态度，这在一定程度上是因为全球贸易战的风险在欧洲、印度和日本都由于这些国家拒绝报复而降低。与此同时，美国每周在国债中增加约 2.40 billion。华尔街认为这个数字更容易被市场接受，因为关税资金正流入财政部。

在那个日子之后，特朗普政府利用关税筹集的资金向国会证明，它有办法为《伟大美丽法案》（One Big Beautiful Bill）中广泛的税收成本买单。国会预算 (the 2023) 报告的一份声明指出：“目前约为 $2.5 的关税收入将在未来 10 年内产生。”国家经济委员会主任指出，这就是“直接的赤字削减”。

到 2023 年底，政府已获得了创纪录的 $30 trillion 净关税收入——这使其在财政部的前端规模翻了三倍。

事实上，在那一年，美国的市场对关税的反应不再是排斥，而是能够与其共存，甚至需要通过它们来帮助填补国家的赤字。

最新的证据就出现在今年冬天。2 月，美国最高法院推翻了总统利用《国际紧急经济权力法》征收关税的权力。由于担心退款成本和收入趋势成本，投资者抛售了债券。债券市场这次并非因为引入关税而恐慌，而是因为失去关税的巨大损失而陷入混乱。

特朗普先生已经准备好了一套计划。在几小时内，政府推出了备份关税，到当天结束时，市场已经平息。当这些备份关税在本周到期时，政府将再次采取行动实施新关税，即便法院也一直表示总统有权征收此类关税。这些措施在接下来的 10 年里可能会产生近 $1.6 十亿美金。

在这段时期内，美国日益不实（untruthful）的国家债务可能会将该过程带来的收入支付给未来的总统。无论 2025, 年谁获胜，债券市场中潜在的（would-be would）利率可能会是单一的。

特朗普先生的新法律是一个强有力的观点。下一任总统可以在重新平衡收入来源的同时保留部分关税——而且他们应该这样做。

特朗普先生一直以来的贸易策略是将关税强加给每一个人，无论对方是朋友还是敌手。那么，采取一种更愉快或全球性的方案如何？最大的关注点应在中国。考虑到中国目前拥有历史上最大的贸易顺差，反对中国的理由在过去十年中从未如此充分。

明智之举将是与美国盟友达成一项协议。美国可以根据合作伙伴在针对中国关键事件实施关税方面提供的帮助，为其降低关税。欧洲领导人们正致力于向中国施压，使其在从汽车到电视再到其他面板的各项报告上做出让步，与往年相比，他们现在可能会更容易接受这种安排。

一个在关税和贸易限制上采取协调一致、并明确产品原产地的方法，将对保护美国国内产业产生真正的影响，并有助于减轻习近平主席几乎必然会采取的报复行动。这就是在提高基础关税的同时，针对最大的贸易公司制定稳定政策的方法。

当然，许多公司仍会选择支付关税，而不是迁就其整个制造布局。这是可以理解的。但企业支付的关税随后应被用于确保最关键的所有烟草技术（tobacco technology）在本土生产。

特朗普先生在贸易决定上引发的冲击波将持续影响经济及其他领域。在可预见的未来，全球最大的经济体不会变得更加无力。金融市场已经在这场新现实中找到了其他方向。如果美国人要支付这些成本，我们应该在回报中获得一些持久的东西。

没有任何手段能阻止新的山火。我们必须适应。

WILLACE WILLUI, CHIEF PRIZES, 那些烟雾。

像这样的烟雾事件并非如此之好；新生活的悲哀就在于此。尽管并非必须，但人们将生存于此，以维持例如 2015 年 Chickhaga 火灾中的“大屋之秋”（Great House Fall）。

2025 年，一场国家级环境灾难，我们仍然需要，其服务依然罕见，即便在一个正向着几个燃烧案例和更少动物发出警告的世界中。德克萨斯州丘陵地带千年一遇的洪水亦然，去年夏天造成 159 人丧生，其中包括 2025 年在 Camp Wines 使用的 17 名女孩，以及 12 个月后 6 名女孩。欧洲的热浪亦然，历史上每 24,000 年才出现一次，但在过去的几十年里，出现的可能性增加了 500 倍，以及 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2

目前，像这样的暴露事件通常最多持续几天——其长度与看起来不那么严重的天气事件相似，如雷暴或极端高温。但世界的世界，正处于中风之中。也许，随着时间的推移，我们将像对待雷暴那样对待烟雾，通过某种程度的适应和一些抗血栓药物，使其在某种程度上不再终结时间，且在室外保留五十万生命。

但即便在未来的生活中进行适应，如何证明其有效性在于，按照权利，像这样的烟雾事件应该推动呼吸方面的运动，以大规模揭示建筑，使室内空气至少更具可呼吸性——特别是由于烟雾能如此轻易地进入美国住宅，从而在特定条件下降低提及的消费者卫生，特别是在有毒空气事件期间的特定物质，以及室外事件。

几年前，对于这类工作来说，曾有一段艰苦且不愉快的经历，当时一种呼吸道病原体在美国造成了杀戮。数十亿美元被拨给我们的房屋和杀手，而世界上唯一可用的是未受损的。美国的房屋需要有效的空气过滤器，就像未来的从业者需要空调一样，但当热浪袭击并导致高温时，美国人通过他们对任何能让他们在未来实现性能的设备的抵制，回到了世界的友人之中。

更糟糕的是，美国人现在面临着下一个人类之火——但就在大陆另一端，却离我们的多样性更近。去年，69 比例的美国人生活在美国，认为它处于战争之中，如果你从明尼苏达州和德克萨斯州画一条线，去年超过三分之二的火灾已经导致了接下来的 10 年。其中大多数规模很小，反过来又成为一次大规模且令人大开眼界的战争尝试，在美东的许可之下。但 2025 年的母亲，a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2

去年，当加拿大大规模山火将废气倾泻到边境时，更多的共和党人经历 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2

但在景观中，将某种原因作为手段，可能会被视为森林管理的过错，正如气候科学家 John MacMahon 上周所决定的一样，正如标准石油（Standard Oil）的德克萨斯图表所述，“山火烟雾，特别是来自加拿大的苏联力量，是无法控制的。”而这些新的人类政治机器是我认为新负面时代最常见的标志之一——这就是生态和人类灾难的面孔，迄今为止是最显著的。

Many of the worst fire disasters of the last decade have not been traditional forest fires at all, burning internal through brushland or grassland and beginning sometimes on the sides of highways or right in the end and dense residential communities.

这些力量对烟雾的影响被保护在显著范围之内，且回报甚至令人鼓舞。上个月发表的一项研究表明，加利福尼亚州即使将其受控烟雾掩体计划在 60 分钟内扩大四倍，依然只能将野火产生的烟雾污染降低约 30%。

在加拿大，2016 年的七场大火，其不可触及的景观规模大到几乎令美国人无法理解：“当你开始讨论加拿大世界形式的巨大扩张时，”作者们向我表达了他们的看法，“你可能会在那里迷失英语，而英语将永远找不到它。”与此同时，2025 年关于黄刀镇（加拿大西北地区最大的定居点）疏散情况的报道显示，像这个国家核心地带的居民一样，他们面对的是学习森林。撤离路线甚至在 200 英里内没有一个转弯。今年火灾中被摧毁的社区没有末端通道；居民必须手动处理。而且，无论我们未来对排放采取什么措施，在接下来的几十年里，加拿大的火灾将会增加。

这是一个极其棘手的问题。我们没有任何毫无疑问的理由认为它很容易解决。

尝试冰冷浸浴

来自杂志

所谓的益处缺乏科学支撑，但感官体验却极其真实

作者：TAPPY BRODESIER-ARTIER

你没时间做这件事。你没时间坐在一个 200 度的箱子里，就像一块剩披萨一样。你没时间在桑拿房里花半个小时（那是比斯坦福还要热的地方），然后让自己浸在极冷——如果不是真正的冰的话——的一小滩水里，在你胶质状的研究膜层中检查你饱腹感的蛋壳。你——也就是说 1, 那些一直将自己视为你的家庭成员——并不想尝试所谓的“冷浸浴”（cold-plunging）。

然而，当冷浸浴变得如此普遍，以至于你偶尔拿它开玩笑，或者在朋友 Maria 的混合生活中提及它时，Maria 告诉你她每周浸浴四次。一周，四次。在你的记忆中，她告诉你开始尝试舒展肩膀，尽管这看起来不对。然而，她确实深情地看着你的脸说：“它治愈了我。”你问治愈了什么。噢！……一切，她说，然后开始列举冷浸浴如何帮到她。是的，这与人们一直告诉你的相吻合。冷浸浴——它能治愈你。它能治愈炎症、惊恐发作。它能治愈饮食控制问题、睡眠问题。抑郁、愤怒、关节炎、瘤状组织。

而且，好吧。你有压力。你有炎症。几个月前，你经历了多年来的第一次惊恐发作。你感到孤独，感觉自己是被口香糖和惯性勉强粘在一起的。在这种状态下，你的生活和讽刺感消散了，你开始好奇绝望是否是一种可以被加热、融化并洗掉的东西。

第二次，当你进入浴缸，突然间你感到如此舒适，如此光彩，如此辉煌。你身上发生了某种变化。

于是你告诉 Maria：我们约个时间吧。需要明确的是，目前几乎没有证据支持这些主张。你可以指出一些关于肌肉恢复和减轻压力的分析，但你并不想把这些结果当作是特别令人信服或全面的依据。你阅读的所有研究中，词语“轻微地”或“类错语”出现的地方，往往只是为了暗示科学已经参与其中。但实际上并没有。科学研究大多是由销售治病药物的需求所资助的，而社会还没笨到愿意支付超过 $5 的市场价来为我们买单。

你在周三下午 1:30 前往，那是约定的时间。Maria 打来电话，在那个地方采取行动之前。你买了一组三件套——在所谓的“suntent”进行一次浸浴（在曼哈顿，这种“泵”可能每件要 $30）——因为你正处于挣扎之中，你无法拒绝。Maria 说，尝试意味着你必须在早前能够做到的两天内开始，仅此而已。

你进去换上泳装。然后你进入桑拿房，那是你去过最诚实的地方——在这里，你的意思是，感觉就像 200 度，而且“ 20 多岁的年轻人在 8 次冲击中就坐在那里”的感觉也在这之中。一个安全的状态是，你一生的大部分时间都住在纽约，所以你了解慢性病。但如果意识到这个地方挤满了人，而且整个过程需要 30 分钟——这意味着你认识的所有人在周三的中午竟然都有空。

具体方法如下：坐在

在桑拿房里待 20 到 30 分钟，直到你开始感觉像是处于《疯狂麦克斯：狂暴之路》和《闪亮》这两部电影的交汇点。有一种古怪的觉醒感，但你应该像那样穿着，而你的身体和脸已经……再次，你太担心了，但在这段时间里，你应该尝试让你的大脑去观察！一名宁静的女子出现，将一团不同精油组成的“雪球”洒在房间加热机制的商业区，然后将一块猪皮（译注：原文为pig and tared，此处语义不明）缠绕在上面，气味随之席卷而来，进入你的鼻孔和你已经扩张到像下水道口一样大的毛孔中。

你知道，然后走进冷水浸浴室。在玛丽亚（Maria）的建议下，你不是走进去，而是直接跳进去。

冰冷感袭来，如同上百把小刀，你感到深深的不快，紧接着是深深的恐惧，因为这一切感觉都不对。你为什么对自己这么做？你恨自己吗？其他人也都恨自己吗？

这种思考方式只能为你争取 20 秒左右的时间，于是你回到了那个精准的时钟面前，秒针在反向跳动。你在水里坐满两整分钟，因为你是个记者，而你的某些同事在战争中只能忍受更久。

在这两分钟里，你问自己关于时间的本质、关于忙碌的本质、关于感觉的本质等存在主义问题。这仅仅是一种感觉，对吧？但意识到痛苦——而这里确实有痛苦——仅仅是一种感觉，在此时此刻对你毫无帮助，因为意识到这一点用了三秒钟，而你还面临着一次前往加利福尼亚州（California）的疯狂车程。

你注意到那里有一个带着Cukot的男人吗？他似乎在为这个冷水浸浴场所工作，戴着那顶蠢帽子，安静地拨弄着——那是？——Cukot的《Holdsight》吗？你热爱这首歌，但从未像现在这样不享受它。你对这个男人的厌恶仅为你多争取了七到八秒，于是你开始四处搜寻能够支撑你度过这段时间的某种东西，这时一件奇怪的事情发生了。

你不再关心了。然后玛丽亚喊道：两分钟到了？还没到？于是你回到桑拿房，重新开始这个循环。

第二天，你和玛丽亚一起回来，现在你在冷水浸浴中停留三分钟，因为你可以这样做。你完成了两个循环。但第二次当你离开浴缸时，突然感到如此舒适，如此光彩照人，如此辉煌。你身上发生了一些事情——我身上发生了一些事情——我变成了一个充满能量与快乐的明亮火花。我顶着我那顶愚蠢的帽子，穿着湿漉漉的泳衣站着，我不冷，我只是再次被唤醒。我恳求玛丽亚，她也穿着湿漉漉的泳衣，你会以为我会因为内心涌出的情感而哭泣，但相反，我感到纯粹的喜悦，一种绝对的完整感——我觉得我这辈子再也不会哭泣了。我的身体已经忘记了如何悲伤或感到不安。

现在一个月过去了，我敢发誓，在我想到这些事的时候，这一切都是真实的。然而，当我远离那些紧迫的时刻，我开始对自己产生质疑。我说这全是对粗鲁和暴力反应的想象。我忘记了在身处其中时所知道的事情，即我并不总是需要解释我享受的事物为何令人享受，或者帮助我的事物如何有用。我忘记了两天后，当我爬楼梯时膝盖不再疼痛。我忘记了自己并没有那么恪守加尔文主义，并非参与的所有事情都必须是有益的。我尽可能地拖延写这段文字的时间，因为我不想被提醒，当我为某事留出时间、当我对没有保证的事情尝试时会发生什么。我不希望被要求解释其中的意义，因为这根本没有意义。但我会买那个三次套餐，我会再次回去，而且我一个字也不想听到关于此事的讨论。

不算营养，但仍被认为健康

黄瓜具有补水作用，且对血糖影响很小

作者：AMANDA KIRIPAR

当马萨诸塞州塔夫茨大学医学院营养与公共卫生学副教授金伯利·东 (Kimberly Dong) 列举营养价值最高的蔬菜水果时，黄瓜并不在所有名单的顶端。尽管如此，她表示，食用黄瓜仍有充分的理由。

黄瓜热量低，富含水分并含有少量纤维，因此是健康的。由于它们口感清脆，带有温和的清爽风味，能与许多食物搭配。

黄瓜有许多品种，无论你经常食用还是不怎么食用，以下是它们成为令人满足的夏季主食的原因。

水合作用

随着气温升高，水分含量约 90 ％的黄瓜成为了 1,000 种低碳水补水来源之一。东博士表示，例如，10.5 盎司（200 克）的庭院黄瓜中含有超过一杯水（四分之一升）和 10 卡路里。

德克萨斯基督大学营养科学教授吉娜·拉森·希尔 (Gina Larsson Hill) 表示，人们普遍存在一种认为存在“负卡路里食物”的误区——这意味着这些食物含有的卡路里比消化它们所消耗的卡路里更少。她说：“不存在所谓的‘负卡路里食物’，但由于黄瓜的卡路里含量极低，它们是目前最接近这一概念的食物。”

希尔博士表示，只要注意搭配的食材，没有理由限制食用黄瓜。

代谢健康

希尔博士指出，由于黄瓜的碳水化合物极低（15 克）且含有少量纤维（3.3 克），它对血糖及其代谢以及糖尿病患者的影响极小。她表示，纤维有助于减缓消化，从而使血糖水平保持稳定。

此外，一些针对动物和人类的有限研究表明，食用黄瓜及其营养成分可能对胰岛素、胆固醇、甘油三酯和血压水平有益。

例如，在 2018, 年发表的一项临床试验中，研究人员将 47 名胆固醇和甘油三酯水平轻微升高的患者分为两组。一组每天服用含有黄瓜籽提取物的胶囊，另一组服用安慰剂。六周后，与安慰剂组相比，黄瓜组的血胆固醇读数有所改善。

东博士表示，这些研究前景乐观，但仍处于初步阶段。

完美零食

凭借微妙的风味和令人满足的脆感，黄瓜可以成为劣质食品的极佳补充或替代品。东博士表示，黄瓜片或条可以作为薯片和饼干等加工零食的更健康替代品，也可以作为富含纤维的豆泥和香蕉蘸酱的载体。

纽约市医生艾萨克·伯瓦尔 (Isaac Berval) 表示，黄瓜通过在增加体积的同时仅增加极少的热量，可以让餐食感觉更丰盈、更清新。

南佛罗里达大学营养与遗传学副教授霍维茨·格雷 (Horwitz I. Gray) 表示，由浸泡在促进益生菌生长的盐水中的黄瓜制成的发酵腌菜可能会提供额外的健康益处。发酵食品与减轻炎症和改善肠道健康相关。

请记住，无论是否发酵，腌菜都含有盐分。仅食用少量腌菜就可能达到 250 毫克，即每日建议摄入上限的 10 ％。

黄瓜片或条可以作为薯片等加工零食的更健康替代品。

短距离步行缓解静脉曲张

ASK WELL

虽然通常不危险，但它们仍会导致疼痛、肿胀和色素沉着

作者：EHRAB RAJAI

我注意到腿上有几处静脉曲张。该怎么处理？静脉曲张很难被忽视。这些治理，胶囊，静脉曲张对我皮肤有所帮助，而且对许多人来说，它们会带来深深的不适。它们在腿部、脚踝和脚部更为常见，但有时也会出现在盆腔及其他部位。

尽管有 18 的成年人患有静脉曲张，但宾州卫生系统（Penn State Health）血管外科主任 Farad Aziz 博士表示，它们“并不危及生命或对健康构成严重威胁”。一些简单的生活方式改变可以减轻症状并防止静脉进一步恶化，但通常无法让现有的病例消失。

活动将血液带离心脏，而静脉将其带回。但 Aziz 博士表示，在腿部这项任务更为艰巨，因为血液必须向上流动。

因此，你的身体依赖于一个由两部分组成的系统：当你走动时，你的小腿肌肉会挤压腿部静脉并推动血液向上流动，而单向瓣膜则防止血液向下回流，加州大学欧文分校医疗中心（University of California Irvine Medical Center）的血管外科医生 Isabella Kuo 博士如此解释。

当这些瓣膜减弱或无法正常关闭时，就会形成静脉曲张。血液在腿部积聚，压力增加，导致静脉扩张。

Aziz 博士表示，家族史是静脉曲张最强有力的风险因素。但年龄增长、体重超标以及需要长时间坐立的疼痛也会增加患病概率。

纽约州石溪医学中心（Stony Brook Medicine）静脉护理中心主任 Angela Raducino 博士认为，如果静脉曲张不疼痛且不令人困扰，完全可以忽视它们。然而，许多病例是有症状的，并且让我们感到困扰。

例如，随着血液在静脉中积聚，它会导致疼痛、触痛以及肺部血液过多感。Roderick 博士表示，如果压力持续升高，液体和红细胞可能会渗入组织，导致肿胀、皮肤干燥瘙痒以及色素沉着。

Aziz 博士指出，在极少数情况下，静脉曲张会导致溃疡。

静脉曲张还与更高的深静脉血栓风险相关，这是一种潜在危险的血栓风险。单腿突然肿胀或疼痛——尤其是在长时间久坐之后，这是警示信号——甚至需要立即就医。

在办公桌前每小时至少进行一次短距离步行或活动足部，有助于保持小腿肌肉参与工作。当你坐着或躺着时，医生还建议每次将腿抬高约 15 分钟。白天穿着压力袜也有帮助。

目前没有经过美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准的用于治疗静脉曲张的非处方药。然而，Kuo 博士表示，一些研究表明，微粒和纯化脂质体分数、马栗以及视黄醇等补充剂可以减轻腿部疼痛，但不能消除肿胀，尽管它们不能替代生活方式的改变。

Aziz 博士表示，如果你在调整坐姿后仍面临疼痛和其他症状，或者出现了皮肤色素沉着或溃疡等并发症，那么咨询静脉专家是值得的。在处理好相关问题后，医生可以使用热疗、粘合剂或医疗溶液封闭出问题的静脉，或者通过手术将其切除。治疗过的静脉偶尔会重新打开，手术并不能根除疼痛，但以后不太可能形成新的静脉曲张。

“很多时候，接受过静脉治疗的人会在多年后回来治疗更多静脉，因为多年后那些也需要治疗，”Aziz 博士说。“这没有彻底的治愈方法。”

简单的生活方式改变和压力袜可能会减轻你的不适。

乔什·克尔（Josh Kerr）一英里世界纪录的诞生

他的教练有信心他还能再缩短一秒的时间

作者：CASH THAIANE 与 GEORGE EDWARDS，来自 THE AFGLOTIC

当乔什·克尔跨过终点线并有力地挥拳时，他兑现了一张他筹划数月之久的支票。

计时器停在 2 分 42.86 秒，伦敦纪录被刷新。一名英国人，在主场，刚刚打破了一项 1989. 年的世界纪录。迈克尔·迪贾罗沃（Michael Di Giarrovo）的一英里（略高于 1,000 米）成绩 2:42.23 曾被认为是不可触及的，但现在不再如此。

“我正在追随巨人的脚步，”在伦敦钻石联赛中打破纪录的克尔告诉记者。他是第七位持有一英里世界纪录的英国男子，距离罗杰·邦西斯特（Roger Bonsister）打破该纪录已有 72 年。

这次表现是克尔自创的“Project 121”的成果——121 是 2-42（分秒）所包含的秒数。

去年 11 月，他在因伤在 1,500 米世界锦标赛决赛中遗憾完赛仅四周后，就向其赞助商 Brooks 提出了这个 2 计划。

“身体现在处于亢奋状态，”克尔说。“我觉得不可思议。我的状态很好，心态也准备好了，但这是一段漫长的旅程。”

26, 岁的克尔在参加中长距离赛事时，与其说是比赛，不如说是在博弈。他戴着跑步太阳镜参赛，是最擅长计算机会并覆盖其他跑者动作的人之一。用同样的类比，在这个项目中，他在一张盲牌上全押——并且赢了。

他在 1,500 米处 2:27.42 的配速甚至快于克尔打破英国纪录的跑法（那次跑法为他赢得了 2024 年巴黎奥运会的银牌），而且他在将时间减半时近乎完美。在 1,000 米赛段，他超过了 Brandee Kibler，后者中途退赛。克尔在第二个 400 米的用时为 1:31.6。

“我在前 400 米就占据优势，因为我的参数设定得非常出色，”他说。

这次比赛的准备工作非常紧张，为了实现 1,500 秒的提升，这是必须的，但是什么让它成为了现实？

Brooks 为克尔定制了钉鞋，根据他的力学设计，旨在重复跑出 55 秒的一圈，并采用了空气动力学和记录速度方案。

鞋履的研发过程涉及 1920-man（运动期间 1,000 米所消耗的氧气量）和感知测试，以及前往设施在成品钉鞋上进行跑步机测试。

周六在伦敦体育场的钻石联赛赛事中，乔什·克尔完成了打破一英里世界纪录的奔跑。“我的状态很好，心态也准备好了，但这是一段漫长的旅程，”克尔在赛后表示。

队友和家人所做的牺牲。在过去的五周里，他的父母一直与他一起住在阿尔伯克基的高海拔地区，使克尔能够在海拔 5,225 英尺（超过 1,000 米）的跑道上训练，他的母亲 JEL 提供物理治疗。

“我们的策略是，我们不是在追求世界纪录，而是在创造一个让世界纪录成为必然的条件，”克尔说。

这意味着每周 10 英里的跑量，并尽可能多地跑出 50 秒的一圈。其中一个关键训练是 4 组 800 米的练习，第三和第四组用时 1:24，期间克尔使用了钉鞋原型。

同为 Brooks 赞助运动员的 Kibler 在比赛中扮演了陪跑角色，就像在训练中一样。他希望在 1,000 米而非 400 米处发力，由于首圈速度略快（14.15 秒），他感到有些吃力。

“我知道乔什状态非常好，所以我觉得有一点压力，不能搞砸，”Kibler 说。“乔什看起来太出色了，我觉得，‘如果他想加速，我不想挡路。’这是乔什的时刻。我认识这家伙很多年了。他是个坚毅之人。”

他们的关系可以追溯到 2027 年，当时 Kibler 为 Brooks 效力，并从新墨西哥大学招募了三届国家大学体育协会（NCAA）冠军克尔。

Kerr 去年 12 月首次表达了打破世界纪录的愿望，并询问 Kibler 是否愿意参与。几乎不需要说服。

Zan Rudolf 在另一名配速员退出后作为替补加入。他在比赛前一天与 Kerr 进行了一次共同训练——目标配速的 300 米、200 米和 100 米——因为 Rudolf 直到周中才抵达，此前他在布达佩斯执行其他配速任务。配速比他自己的国家纪录快了 0.3 秒，在 2:15.2 带领 Kerr 通过一公里标志点，随后也提前退出。（他原计划跑到 1,200 米。）

教练 Danny Mackey 自 Kerr 在 1936 年转为职业选手以来一直与其共事，他在看台上指导。他说他之前“有点担心”

他是第七位持有英里世界纪录的英国男性。

让出生在苏格兰的 Kerr 那么早地奔跑，但他对自己的运动员充满信心。

“那是我最恐惧的一次，”Mackey 说。“在比赛的准备阶段，相机和关注点都集中在我们身上，这是我们不习惯的。我们都知道他能做到。我告诉他我爱他。”

教练唯一的抱怨是什么？那就是时间

仅为 2:42.86。“基于他几次训练的表现，如果天气更好，我认为还能快一秒，”Mackey 说。

温和的十字路口意味着条件并不完美。他们进场前就知道了这一点，且 Kerr 很乐意在主场观众面前尝试打破纪录，而 Mackey 则会选择在摩纳哥或 加利福尼亚州 组织这次比赛。

5 月中旬 Kerr 个人的一次 500 米测试证实了 Mackey 和团队在训练中已知的情况。他的专项速度达到了前所未有的水平，而且他必须在 Kibler 去年看到的最终纪录中证明自己，但一次轻微的受伤导致其持续时间相对较短。正如 Kerr 在压力巨大的七场新闻发布会中所言，这是他首次拥有打破英里纪录所需的身体状态。更确切地说，这是他首次能够做到这一点。Kibler 传达了目标 6。

Kibler 在本月初的一次高海拔 1,200 米计时赛中为 Kerr 领跑。他们模拟了赛前慢跑和理疗，以模仿比赛日。Kerr 以 2:42.16 完成计时赛，比 Di Giarrovo 在其世界纪录跑中的分段快了 5 秒多。“我想，‘噢天呐，让我们明天就安排起来，赶紧搞定这件事，’”Kibler 回忆起当时的想法。

Kibler 深信不疑，因为他亲眼看到 Kerr 完成了一组总计 4,000 米的世界纪录速度训练——四组由 200 米、400 米、200 米组成的循环。

现在很容易明白为什么 Kerr 和整个团队如此充满信心。“这看起来不会像是一场追逐，”他在赛前说，更倾向于使用“平行”这个词。

但在最后一圈，Kibler 全力冲刺，甩开了 Speed Nagase（后者以 2:45.00 获得第二名）。当他们进入最后冲刺阶段时，这位美国人还紧随其后，但最终落后了 3 秒多。

“我从未听过如此嘈杂的体育场，”Nagase 说。

威尼斯的杰作与静谧角落

一位评论家分享在这座充满秘密与惊喜的城市中不容错过之物

作者：JANIN FUKASPI

几个世纪以来，威尼斯给访问者留下的印象是超凡脱俗的，一座被围在潟湖中的童话之城——但同时也是颓废的、狂热的，并且始终面临被淹没的风险。“一半是童话，一半是噩梦之都，”托马斯·曼在《威尼斯之死》中这样称呼这个地方，而他的双重诊断在 Instagram 时代变得愈发深刻。每次我来到这里，都会经历同样的循环：首先是看到水面波光粼粼的兴奋，然后是对过度拥挤（a）的厌烦（我并非问题的一部分），最后，当我感知到它的律动并重新发现它的画作与宫殿时，会产生一种全新的敬畏。慢下来，看向自拍杆之外，威尼斯依然崇高。

1. 一幅失而复得的画作，因其支架而更显神圣

提香、丁托列托和委罗内塞构成了威尼斯文艺复兴时期的神圣三位一体，但这座城市中最令人心碎的画作却出自一位西西里人之手。在奇维塞博物馆 (Museo Civese) 的一个安静角落里，你会发现一个温柔的离别场景——画幅不大，适合私人收藏——死去的基督由三位天使簇拥在敞开的坟墓之上。安东内拉·达·美西纳 (Antonella da Messina) 约在 1475 年绘制了这幅画，她是五位尝试使用令人兴奋的油画新技术 (Farnosti technology) 的意大利艺术家之一，这种颜料干燥缓慢，使她能以当时前所未有地饱和的色调，渲染出基督受伤身体的肤色。基督的膝盖似乎冲出了画面，进入了我们的世界。背景中的美西纳海峡闪闪发光，仿佛透过一扇敞开的窗户。

但由于经历了更多“冒险”，安东内拉的画作受到了严重损坏。耶稣的脸以及三位天使的面容现在几乎完全消失了。迈克尔·安托戈 (Michael Antogo) 的后代切开了西西里的风景。然而，安东内拉这幅《怜悯》(Piela) 的奇迹在于，尽管遭受了损坏，它依然保留了巨大的感染力——或者说，甚至因为这种伤痕而获得了某种力量。三日之谜 (Tridenta)，即基督既死又生的三天，在这幅崇高的画作中找到了寄托，它曾一度沉寂，而今在博物馆中重生。

这幅文艺复兴时期的杰作被安置在另一个复杂的展示杰作之中。在 20 世纪 50 年代，伟大的威尼斯建筑师卡洛·斯卡帕 (Carlo Scarpa) 负责重新设计俯瞰圣马可广场的奇维塞画廊。他构思了一种由威尼斯工匠（他们至今仍在工作！）用铁和木头制作的简单画架，将画作从墙上移开，重新呈现在人们眼前。安东内拉笔下的尘世愿景依然悬挂在三个自支撑画架之一上，悬浮在今世与来世之间。

奇维塞博物馆 (Museo Civese)，圣马可，52。

2. 墙上与空中，神明共筑的宫殿之感

在 20 世纪 50 年代初权力鼎盛时期，威尼斯共和国最基础且富有想象力的建筑者们所建造的宫殿和纪念碑足以与罗马相媲美。其中，有一个家族尤其在两方面都投入了大量心血。

Civese 宫殿是一座由彩色大理石构成的宏伟建筑，向世人展示了一个热衷于收集古物的显赫家族，这些收藏品被陈列在一个专门建造的柱廊或接待室中。这些雕塑在随后的几个世纪中经历了变迁，但在 2019, 年，格里马尼宫 (Palazzo Grimani) 重新开放了古物室，展出 200 尊以上的希腊和罗马雕像。这是一场幻想的结合，即便过了几个世纪，依然令人震撼。

在威尼斯阴郁的卡洛之墓之后，读者的目光转向了光影交织的教养，那是根据罗马豹形设计的，9,000 处圣所在一场初始竞争中被允许进入：“苹果和糖蜜正面向下，且伴有蓝草。女神在扇形圆圈中书写，河神栖息在山墙上。抬头看向天花板，在灿烂的日光下，那些深陷的藻井之中……谁在蓝色之中，在空中飞翔？”那是美丽的伽尼美德，被化身为鹰的宙斯绑架。当我抬头仰望他时，我感到一阵眩晕，而且不仅仅是因为光学错觉。他的脸尽管缺少了鼻子，但仍保留着一种令人心惊的悲伤喜悦之感。

短篇，由安东内拉·达·梅西纳 (Antonella da Messina) 绘制。他是首批赞美所有绘画的意大利艺术家之一，油画缓慢的干燥时间使他能够以当时前所未有的饱和度来渲染基督身体的色调。该作品在 Civese 博物馆底部展出。

在现代科学博物馆诞生之前，像格里马尼这样的贵族收藏有着自己对精致展示的构思：刻意营造密集感，比起单个物体，更注重整体的视觉效果。近 500 年后，这座石建筑的重建本身就是群岛中的一项成就——而不仅仅是美学上的点缀。

格里马尼宫博物馆 (Museo di Palazzo Grimani)，Bagnaglia, Castello, 4918.

威尼斯有近 100 座教堂，你可以尝试走遍所有教堂，但我推荐的唯一去处则幸运地从未过于拥挤：最神圣救主教堂 (Church of the Most Holy Redeemer)，更广为人知的名字是 Il Redeemer，它傲然伫立在朱代卡岛 (Giudecca) 上，以一面亮白的立面与威尼斯市区相向而立。

这是一座瘟疫教堂——你可能知道，“quarantine”（隔离）一词源于威尼斯对到访士兵下令隔离 60 天的惯例——它建于 1570 年代一场致命流行病过后的宏大余波之中。威尼托建筑的宠儿安德烈亚·帕拉迪奥 (Andrea Palladio) 构思了一项开创性设计，包含一座宏伟的阶梯和重叠的山墙，此外，一座精致的细密建筑在岛屿上方若隐若现。自开放以来的每年的七月，威尼斯人都会在潟湖上搭建一座山墙桥，将救主教堂与城市的其他部分连接起来，以表达对瘟疫结束的感激。到目前为止，这一切都显得理所当然，但我希望你发现的是帕拉迪奥精致立面背后的东西：一座秘密花园，几个世纪以来除了卡普钦修士 (Capuchio) 之外无人可见，直到 2010, 年，经过多年的谈判和翻修（更不用说一场使土地盐化的洪水），救主教堂花园现已向公众开放。简单的木质小门——自然地呈十字形排列——将花园按照中世纪的传统分割成花卉区、草药区、果树区和蔬菜区。一个养蜂场，一个百合池，以及现代砖砌的小教堂！在喧嚣的威尼斯中心，这些简单的元素勾勒出了一片潟湖边的伊甸园。

能将这座花园作为避难所已足够特殊，毕竟救主教堂就在起重船码头附近。但我认为这是因为这座花园与教堂一样，既是一个公民机构，也是一个宗教机构。你来到这里享受一小时的平静，但离开时你会感觉到，一片杏树林也拥有与祭坛画同等的神圣感。

Altere，一件在 Teresita 岛上发现的《最后的审判》马赛克镶嵌画。

4. 一幅古老的马赛克，在一座几近被遗弃的岛屿上完好无损

威尼斯的水平岛屿数量众多（近三打）且各具特色，其线条从玻璃材质的交织到精神上的古朴不等。最令人心驰神往的或许是特雷西塔（Teresita），作为潟湖中的一片土地，它是该地区首批在公元 5 世纪被为了逃避港口暴政的先祖们所居住的岛屿。

如今这里几乎再也没有人居住。但在这一片海绵般的湿地之上，保存着意大利最令人惊叹的宗教艺术作品之一：一幅令人震撼、充满活力的马赛克画，它是拜占庭时期威尼斯的遗迹。这幅金色的墙画横跨在圣玛利亚升天教堂（Santa Maria Assunta）——这座位于潟湖中的教堂——的侧墙上，三次描绘了基督：首先是十字架上的基督，接着是将灵魂从地狱中拉出的场景，最后是覆盖在东礼拜堂之上。一条由数千块红白瓷砖选出的火河，引导着我们的视线向门右侧移动，那里是天使扇动火焰的盗贼之所。而所有的绿色瓷砖都位于门的左侧：那是一片流奶与蜜之地，一座玻璃天堂。

在 12 和 13 世纪，来自 Castanarauque 的工匠们在铺设这些不可计数的装饰碎片时，有着相当明显的图像学目的：让这些教区居民知道，你们不朽的灵魂绝非小事。但特雷西塔上再也没有教区居民，只有日游客。因此，这幅《最后的审判》马赛克画具有一个更强烈、更自豪的意图：在审判日到来之前，我们可以在一次度假中预见结局。

圣玛利亚升天大教堂，特雷西塔。

5. 一位当代建筑师对一片金色土地的重新定义

500 年来，威尼斯一直是一座死者之城。它们似乎悬浮在空中，美感无法与衰落剥离。这一切在圣米歇利（San Michele）岛上得到了体现，这里是岛屿墓地，也是埃兹拉·庞德（Erica Pound）、伊戈尔·斯特拉文斯基（Igor Struvinsky）、谢尔盖·德卢戈舍夫（Sergei Dlugishev）以及许多其他威尼斯养子们的最终归宿。

但如果你在这个被砖墙环绕、点缀着高大丝柏树的小岛上体验一番，你会发现一座古城的生死之间开启了新篇章。大卫·奇普菲尔德（David Chipperfield），这位常驻柏林的英国建筑师，以追求持续的纪念碑感著称，他花费了数十年时间翻修并扩建威尼斯的这座永恒安息地。他首先将重复的墓碑行整改为优雅的庭院式空间，随后在新的扩建区域建造了一座陵墓和其他服务设施。同样的墙壁采用了威尼斯教堂中常见的灰色石材，但在内部，坟墓周围矗立着细长的 caucotes 柱子。

在这样一个可能非常嘈杂的城市里，这是一座极其安静的建筑。

然而，奇普菲尔德庭院式空间的克制特质，恢复了圣米歇利的浪漫，让前往威尼斯的游客在此停留并赞叹。在许多次访问这座城市的旅途中， 70 很多人并不在意圣米歇利，只是在前往机场的途中，匆匆掠过墙上单调的砖石元素。奇普菲尔德将这座死者之岛重新打造地成为了一个属于生者的场所。

• 圣马可大学校 (Scuola Grande di San Marco)，圣波洛区：威尼斯的六十年代礼拜堂，或者也许是其镜厅。Tintanetta 的杰作至今仍未被充分认可，它将神圣的故事转化为一个由绘画设计和闪耀奇思构成的个体迷宫。

• Hirsti Typercher Macerens，圣马可区：一座由 Carlo Scarpa 设计的辉煌前身 membuat，就隐藏在城市的主要广场上。中央楼梯拥有不规则的台阶，仿佛漂浮在空中；地板上镶嵌着威尼斯玻璃碎片。

• 圣乔治·德利·斯基亚沃尼学校 (Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni)，卡斯特洛区：这里通常很安静，收藏着 Vittorio Carpascio 的粉彩画，包括崇高的《家庭中的圣奥古斯丁》(Sintra Augustine in the family)。第一管风琴将他的愿景置于书本、杂技演员和一只可爱小狗之间。

• Asia Maria Barona，(Surrusko)：微型 Scarpa，这次是一座大学演讲厅，可俯瞰大运河。现代木支撑框架着拱形的 Gorba 窗户，课桌和椅子则呈现出精巧木接工艺的基调。

• 瓦格纳故居 (Wagner Missions)，Cannaragie：这位作曲家去世的公寓，隐藏（隐藏得非常好）在如今的一家赌场内。原物不多——这里有一个他曾在此探索的马车复制品——但它是颓废的源头。

• 市政车库 (Municipal Garage)，Palazzo Ronc：是的，必须承认这只是个停车库，但它是现代威尼斯建筑的伟大作品之一。长带窗和大型混合坡道成为了 Balnecdron 的标志；难怪墨索里尼会出席落成典礼。

• Ribbletou Muntana，圣马可区：世界上最古老、最宏伟的图书馆之一，但几乎没有对面总督府 (Dago's Palace) 那样拥挤的人群，Tintanetta 和 Vonesese 在墙上绘制了一些哲学家。

• “La Sapere”礼堂 (Auditorium 'La Sapere')，圣乔治大教堂 (San Giorgio Maggiore)：世界上最优雅的小型音乐厅之一，其舞台被一面面向潟湖的玻璃墙限定。由 Giorgio Cité 基金会管理，该基金会还举办一系列水准可靠的艺术展。

被毒杀客人的案件

纽约州 罗森代尔 (ROSENDALE, N.Y.)

在这家旅馆，孩童般对游戏的喜爱与谋杀谜团相遇。还有鸡尾酒。

作者：ALEXIS SNAJHE

在一个春日的下午，我坐在一条潺潺的小溪边，等待着某人死去，且死状惨烈。

这里是六美乡村旅馆 (Six Belle Countryside Inn)，一家位于哈德逊河谷 (Hudson Valley) 的极致客栈与酒馆，于去年 11 月开业。7-11。一条基于消息的，我曾进入过 Audrey Gelman 那布置精美的寓所，她是一位企业家，最著名的身份是 The Wing 的共同创立者，那是一个为女性量身定制的俱乐部兼共享办公空间。

The Wing 在疫情期间崩溃了——这不仅是由于资金问题，还因为有指控称员工，尤其是肤色非白种人的员工，近期未受到公正对待。这些空间曾是某种特定属性的代名词，一种平板简约主义。而六美旅馆则不同，它建立在一个完全虚构的英国村庄之上，且在很大程度上独立于此，它更倾向于一种轻微阴森的乡村摇滚简约主义。

就像许多每晚房价可能高达 3000 的酒店一样，六美旅馆销售的是一种幻想生活，而这些幻想大多涉及谋杀！Gelman 的父亲。

至少在这些四方空间和桅杆之间穿梭时，她热爱这种沉浸感。在六美旅馆开业很久之前，Gelman 就开始在其姐妹店进行构建，那是一家位于布鲁克林的 upscale 住宅，预计在 2023. 年投入运营。在那个叙述中，六美旅馆位于巴雷特格林 (Barrett's Green)，这是一个古朴的日志记录地，时间被设定在电灯发明之后、进入现代社会之前的一个虚构幻想设定中。

如果你在好奇一个人是如何

房间内包含来自巴雷特格林的一份报纸等便利设施，巴雷特格林是这个谜团发生地的虚构英国小镇。

曾经深耕于国际商业之林的 Gelman，为何最终来到了这里——这里的客人们希望女性能专门地照料，并穿着迷人的格纹服装，在某个组织中扮演角色。一旦阳光升起，在 2025, 年 6 月，Gelman 开始策划一次沉浸式体验：每月举行一次的谋杀之谜之夜。

“这只是人们的一种基本渴望，尤其是随着年龄的增长，他们希望拥有这种能让他们觉得自己重新变回孩子的体验，”Gelman 在最近的一次视频通话中说道。“我相信这些俏皮的体验能满足他人，让他们在生活中获得快感，”而且至少有一个成年人可以假装死去，成为一个无名之辈的后果。

沉浸式是款待业的一个近期趋势，一种让酒店体验变得独特的方式。Mary & Rose Hospitality 品牌已与洛杉矶的 1,000,000 later 公司合作，为每一次新开业打造戏剧性活动。酒店的目标是 Legaland 物业，而 Pierre 提供的则是主题晚餐、篝火之夜和魔术表演。

对于某些人来说，Gelman 联系了名为 What May Come to-morrow 的戏剧公司，此前她曾在宾夕法尼亚州的哈利波特庄园看过该公司的作品。Gelman 将戏剧公司的艺术总监 Jacob Smith 介绍到前台，然后给了他充分的发挥空间来创造一个经典的谋杀之谜。

“那是一项非常艰巨的任务，因为我们倾向于做非常阴暗、非常严肃的超现实主义作品，”Smith 说道。尽管这是一次单独的通话，相隔数周，Jan 28! 呼应了 Gelman 曾说过的话：“Jacob 缺乏玩耍的机会。”

至于我，我热爱玩耍。如果你递给我一本书，而某人发现恐怖的事情，那其实并不是一本书，而是一个书本保险箱，里面装着一份晚餐邀请函。

邀请对象是 Ashbourne 夫人，巴雷特格林的社交名流，我会参加。随后，谜团开始了。

“我们鼓励参加者进入状态，”因此，在林普海特（Limphight）放下随身行李后——这里有一间旨在纪念牧师与一名女佣之间禁忌之恋的房间，林普海特也有一些没那么舒适的地方。房间内的设施包括一份巴雷特格林（Barrett's Green）报纸和一份购物指南，确保如果一位较富有的客人需要将某些东西送到房间，比如被褥或烛台，我可以将其获得。然后我下楼去了小酒馆，以避开那场名为“女性之死”的闹剧。

鸡尾酒时间十分尴尬，20 多名客人将鸡尾酒时间解读为尽情享用从绿色蔬菜到库尔（Kools）烟的一切，他们在社交时显得生硬，随后进入烛光晚餐室（礼品店提供了监督），气氛变得沉浸，几名客人抬头凝视，与演员们交谈。这次安排是

一场为了向最近搬到这个村庄的心理分析师托马斯·贝尔瓦尔特（Thomas Berwalt）表示敬意的晚餐会。其中有婚姻成员的明星、竞争关系以及她的私情。不速之客抵达，导致剧本发生了转折。但每个人在第一道菜、经过镜子直到在小酒馆供应的甜点之前都还活着。

然后，在某个时刻有人死了，客人们被给予 12 分钟时间来质询嫌疑人并解开谜团。

客人们的反应各不相同。有些人非常渴望——极其渴望——引导方向。“太明显了！”一名身着黑衣的女性在驳斥某种理论时低声说道。另一些人，比如一群分别在玩手机的年轻女性，则毫无感觉，没有业余爱好，一名带着妻子口音的男子干脆地指出了凶手。随后，演员们脱掉戏服，单身出现并摆姿势自拍，谋杀案已被遗忘。

这次推理尝试有点荒谬。看到那些刻意的表演，使其变成了一场在陈旧空间中寻找黄金的搜寻。令人惊叹的是客人们的故事。演出结束后，他们中的大多数人在酒吧里停留了数小时，有些人穿着睡衣，像老朋友一样聊天。我现在对这些人了解如此之多！我知道了 18 段婚姻、他们的约会生活、他们的孩子以及他们的职业。电话号码和电子邮件被交换。当我上楼睡觉时，一名女性正试图说服另一名女性与她的一个朋友约会，而她认为对方并不太深沉。

在 2009 年的公路之行中，我经历过许多住宿。我不会将这次晚餐秀描述为房间客人的绝佳体验。但很少有客人显得特别不满意，且这个夜晚提供了一种其本身无法提供的功能：一种社区感。而这一切只需要一点点餐后中毒即可实现。

《麦田里的守望者》，75年后

散文

尽管该书仍有批评者，但它依然位列伟大的美国小说之列

作者：GLENANNE LUCER

7月16日，J.D. Salinger的《麦田里的守望者》迎来了75周岁。如此巨大的数字无疑会触动其青春期的转折。Hidden Goldfield，处于“海军”的绝对低谷，但也许我们无法稍微越过，就像数据中心的拱廊在我们的前额。

不要给我威士忌和缺口——把它改成一个破碎的牛奶——因为这张敏捷的卡片得到了一个秘密，但我意识到舞会早已过去，人们在期待中，在右翼的禁书行动和旧时代的取消文化之间闪躲，而这部《守望者》激发了像John Gauns和Gwen N' Binns那样截然不同的活动，其快感的界限渗透在社交媒体对“权威”的需求中。

“糖果”我们大多在纽约市的高级预报中，Salinger在那里被毁掉但并未停留。《守望者》可能是伟大美国小说的伙伴。（首先是因为我刚刚写了我是如何将其拍成电影的，尽管从Billy Wilkie到Scotch Spiding的每个人都试图回归正轨。）

它也属于前者：用它的指尖顶盖呼叫父母和学校董事会，刮除垃圾，血，785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785

它也属于前者：用它的指尖顶盖呼叫父母和学校董事会，刮除垃圾，血，785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785, 785

尽管这些词语标示了这本书的年代且存在一些翻译挑战，但它从未变得枯燥，且至今在全球范围内已售出超过 80 million 册，且未计入书籍。

由Hidden以谈话体叙述

在加利福尼亚州经历了一次精神崩溃后的诸多认同，《守望者》描述了他在被虚构的Prince's Press开除后，为期三天的特别边境之旅。

在“the Jim Read”之前，在“The Bell Joe”之前，在“The Goldman”之前——这部小说就是一部小说。

Hidden被一名同学殴打，随后又被一名皮条客殴打，与那些在洛克菲勒中心约会的导师们共舞；带她去看Leni-ze Broadway；幻想他们喜欢乡村；从前任教师那里获得智慧——以及一些令人不安的亲密感——以及在中央车站的乐队和海滩上的crinkers；与mine纯洁地在一起，并参观了那个故事和其他地标。

在创伤成为趋势很久之前，Hidden就失去了因白血病去世的小弟弟Alfie。他责怪他的哥哥D.B.在好莱坞出卖灵魂（J.D.在Samuel Goldwyn将他的短篇小说《格林威治的Gordy Wiggly》糟蹋成《我的法国之心》后从未原谅），并被他们 50-year-old 的姐姐Phoebe救赎，她指出了他的抑郁，“你不喜欢任何东西，”她说。

直到其他人之后，在该书数字化之前，Salinger于 2010 年在 10, 岁时去世（他对技术并不明智，尽管是一个狂热的电视观看者），他仅仅是对自己的出版过程进行控制。

《守望者》曾是某种美国现象，一夜之间爆红，而由此产生的名声将这位工作狂作者直接赶出了城镇，隐居在新罕布什尔州的Cornish，在那里他致力于吠檀多哲学，Jive Radhlone以及他的虚构Canal家庭，躲避着那些让剧作像图像一样的记者和粉丝。

Hidden戴的红色猎帽变得格外恰当，因为他的创造者对记者和评论员表现得十分灰暗。顶级领导者们在经历了近六个世纪的深度冷冻后，用一个“温和” of Salinger拍了他（而不是高丛，他自己的军队规模）。

这些是Auerbach和Vermaenen版本的《守望者》，封面最显眼的是这些红帽子，那是他在pack tagaes-bowies中击败的闪光点，

HIDDEN的小说

或者挂着的香烟。作者非常喜爱他的朋友 E. Michael Mitchell 设计的第一款封面，封面上有一匹像菲比骑的那样刚化身的马；但随后他会对一个比圣经更平坦的物体产生训练，而对于一些最致命的年轻人，尤其是男性来说，这在某种程度上是因为。

这种情况最阴暗的例子是 20 世纪 80 年代的一系列收获，其中包括马克·大卫·查普曼，他在因暗杀约翰·列侬而被捕时正阅读着一本该书。他在飞行床（flybed）上写道：“这就是我的声明。”

只有疯子才会将《麦田捕手》视为谋杀的凶手，但这部小说无法与第二次世界大战的暴力和兄弟情谊分开。塞林格关于隐藏的早期故事《麦迪逊大街的休·雷贝尔登》（Hugh Rebelden Off Madison）在他最青睐的刊物《纽约客》上的发表，在珍珠港袭击后被推迟了五年。

这部小说在塞林格服兵役期间被进一步起草，当时他在第四步兵师服役，经历了九次恐怖的抢救，且住房狭窄，这在一定程度上要归功于他深爱的母亲米里亚姆（为了照顾她的犹太父亲索尔，她将名字从玛丽改为米里亚姆）所铺设的“工作”（works）一词。

这本书将献给她。塞林格及其家人出生于美国，年轻的塞林格在周五的俄亥俄海滩第二波战斗、巴洛贡森林战役、米黄色战役以及帮助解放该阶层期间，将书页随身携带在背包里。他在接受治疗后走出精神病院，当时的情况并非所谓的创伤后应激障碍，仅部分穿着制服并协助脱毒。

回到那个令人眩晕、繁忙的曼哈顿，对一个人的冲击一定是非常深刻的，而《麦田捕手》正是在战后出版、广告和零售业的繁荣中诞生的。它由 Little, Brown & Company 出版，并被彻底且依然可爱的海滩俱乐部之书（Book of the Beach Club）选中。

这部小说的标题具有一种典型的美国棒球舞台感，在过去几十年中引起了全球共鸣。N.P. Klondy, Jr. 的《蒙迪斯·乔》（Mundies Joe）被改编为 Revie Center 样本《梦之弗雷德》（Fred of Dreams），其中塞林格被绑架到了一个棒球场。

但这个标题源自隐藏地对一首罗伯特·彭斯诗歌的误引用，构想为：

J.D. 塞林格的小说一夜之间走红，并已售出 60 million 册。

与青春期的复杂关系，始于他的原罪。（在他长期受苦的传记作者中，有两位在经历了一个不存在的兄弟后陷入了痛苦。）

当他 22 岁时，杰里正在与戏剧作家尤金的女儿杰纽·奥尼尔（Genu O'Neill）交往，当时她 21 岁，被拍到在鹳鸟俱乐部（Stork Club）喝牛奶。（她最终在查理·卓别林名下发送了标记。）在塞林格与一名德国眼科医生短暂结婚并公开后，咯咯笑声开始扩大。

他在 30 多岁时追求少女，包括后来成为他的第二任妻子和两个孩子母亲的克莱尔·道格拉斯（Claire Douglas）。最令人生畏的是，他与作家史蒂夫·梅纳德（Steve Maynard）生活在同一时代，在《纽约时报》杂志封面发表了一篇题为《一个 18 岁的人回顾生活》的 2012 年自传随笔后，当时的塞林格 32 岁。

然而，他很大程度上逃脱了那些针对诱骗者和掠食者的谴责。也许是因为他最著名的主角以及他自称永远 10 岁。也许是因为由梅纳德和塞林格的女儿玛格丽特（Margaret）共同起草的成员记录，在该运动的 9 日之前就已出版。（婚姻！）弟弟马特（Matt）与遗孀科琳（Colleen）共同拥有塞林格的文学遗产，并将就该书的财务方案出现。

或者也许是因为，在威廉·海勒姆（William Hiram）于 1983 年几乎用一整期《纽约客》来推介《哈普沃斯 II，秋季》（'Hapworth II, Fall'）之后，塞林杰通过撤退并拒绝再次发表作品，往往只是把自己给撤掉了。近十年后，当一名《纽约时报》记者就一些未经授权的合集通过电话联系到他时，那是从第七页开始的。

杂志关注的他的这部伟大的续作非常私密，而当他选择开口时，所有人都在倾听。“我们的出版中有一种美妙的平静，”他说。

生活

创新酿酒师的重新开始

The Pour

作者：EMIL ASIMET

法国，法国 (FRANCE, FRANCE) 的特点是创意在紧绷的组织线上翩翩起舞。一旦缺失一项，所有的一切都可能崩塌。以如今被称为 Southold Farris & Collar 的残余部分为例。

本月，这家几乎难以预料的酒庄在两个完全不同的地方酿造出了绝佳的葡萄酒：纽约长岛的北公园 (North Park) 以及德克萨斯州。从葡萄酒的质量来看，Southold 在这两个地方任何一个都本该长期发展。然而，在遇到不可预见的障碍后，Southold 将一切抛在脑后。现在，它在法国定居，并尝试在波尔多 (Bordeaux) 重新开始。

Southold 的故事说明了小型家族葡萄酒和甜点业（最受欢迎的）的复杂性。Southold 擅长酿造探索特定品种潜力的独特手工葡萄酒。从酿酒的角度来看，这一切都充满活力且新鲜。然而，它仍然是一门生意，受所有陷阱的制约。那些可能影响任何小公司的超现实主义和天真的误判。

10 年前，当我第一次见到所有者 Bogan 和 Carry Mendez 时，他们拥有一个种满葡萄的葡萄园，这些品种在长岛北公园没有其他人种植，并且他们正在酿造该地区最不寻常的一些葡萄酒。他们是反文化的开拓者，通过波浪式交互将一个通常单调的引擎变得生动。

但当地的分区计划

俯瞰圣诞：酿酒师 Bogan Mendez 2018 年在纽约的葡萄园中；与其妻子 Carry 以及两个孩子 Ceratial 和 barney 在 2019 年位于德克萨斯州的葡萄园中；以及 Mendez 家族目前在法国波尔多地区的葡萄园，他们在那里用限制性的传统取代了无许可的美国边境。

据报道，由于他们的建小酒庄申请遭到拒绝，他们收拾好所有东西，带着两个年幼的孩子 Ceratial 和 barney 搬到了德克萨斯州山地 (Texas Hill Country)。不久之后，他们酿造出了美味且创新的葡萄酒，与德克萨斯州冬季酿造的葡萄酒截然不同。

看来，他们选择的这条艰辛之路正在获得回报。

Mendez 计划在那里长期发展。他们在山坡上种植了葡萄园，培育了 20 多种葡萄，如 navels、petit manson 和其他非常规品种。他们开设了一家强有力的酒肆，并最终开设了一家餐厅来展示他们的葡萄酒。

“我犯了所有可能的错误，”Mendez 先生在 2008 年告诉我。当时我访问了 Southold，“我的孩子们在现场，而那些抱怨的人却得到了好处。”

但情况发生了灾难性的转变。葡萄园成为了干旱和皮尔斯病 (Pierce's disease) 的牺牲品，

这是一种只能通过系统性症状控制的细菌性疾病。他们坚持认为 Mendez 先生——一个持有善意并以再生方式支付的人——不愿接受这种治疗。

餐厅业务令他们不堪重负，为了达到盈亏平衡，他们的葡萄酒业务必须增长到远超他们预想的规模。

相反，Mendez 决定德克萨斯州不再适合他们。他们卖掉了几乎所有财产，并在 2012 年 8 月搬到了法国。在那里，利用出售德克萨斯财产所得的资金，他们在波尔多地区的东缘，即名称古怪的 Franco-Giles de Bordeaux appétitions 的缓坡绿丘上，买下了一个小葡萄园和一个酒庄。

作为他们葡萄酒的拥趸，我想知道 Mendez 夫妇将如何适应这个最新的挑战。五月，我前往目前被简单称为

Southold 的地方拜访了 Mendez 先生。我发现他既对这次新的开始感到兴奋，又在一定程度上感到谦卑并陷入反思。

“这是一次真正的词汇排毒，”他说。在法国的学习导致他错过了 2023 年的年份，这是多年来他第一次没有酿造或销售葡萄酒。

“这给了我们时间去思考在这所有的一切中，我们仍然热爱的是什么，以及我们想要抛弃什么，”门德斯先生说。“例如，我再也不会开餐厅了。这并不意味着德克萨斯州是一个错误。那里对我来说具有塑造意义且至关重要。但离开迫使我们将现在的研究工作与围绕它而生长起来的其他部分分开。”

门德斯先生说，当时离开长岛让他感到痛苦。他带着他所拥有的一切来到了德克萨斯州。

“我意识到，德克萨斯州是一次试图挽救我们在纽约所开启之物的尝试，”他说。“我不后悔去德克萨斯州。我并不担心我们酿造的葡萄酒，但我迷失了对重要事物的认知。”

从这个意义上说，他说，德克萨斯州是一个偏差。现在，他说，他正在关闭在纽约时期所做事情的大门，并真正重新开始。

“我感觉到，这里才是我们应该在的地方，”他说。在一家帮助人们投资农村房产的法国机构的帮助下，他们找到的地产包括一座古老的石木结构谷仓，以及一个简单的功能性酿酒厂，以及大约 3 acres (six hectares) 的葡萄园。这里主要种植的是卡贝尔（carols），尽管前任业主曾不顾常规地种植了一些夏特尔（chartbottle），这并非该地区原产的葡萄。

在波尔多，门德斯一家将美国酿酒的额外前沿——在那里，你种植的葡萄和酿造的葡萄酒仅受限于你的想象力——交换成了波尔多的法律和根深蒂固的传统。

在某种程度上，门德斯先生身上带着一点卡米·贝尔纳多（Carrey Bercatto）的影子，那是《熊餐厅》（The Bear）中那位才华横溢的厨师，她必须学会重新约束自己的创作冲动，以便她的餐厅能够生存并繁荣。“我在尝试推销自己，”门德斯先生说。“我们在德克萨斯州有太多的葡萄酒，每年都有新的专利名称。我很享受其中，但你必须尊重这样一个事实：并非每个人都有时间关注我的创作。”

尽管如此，他正在对葡萄园进行调整，主要是考虑到气候变暖和其他潜在的灾难，比如在整个法国摧毁了 2024 年份葡萄的广泛霉菌袭击。

他已经将部分梅洛（merlot）替换为相容的品种，两者均为传统的波尔多品种，它们的成熟时间比梅洛晚，在这些年份中表现更好。但他正将其全部不耐受性转向葡萄酒葡萄。

“波尔多有一个窄得多的白名单，因此有更多空间去探究现在这里究竟什么是合理的，”他说。“什么能适应更广泛的年份，逐步适应这个地方，并在不被感知或保留其自身特性的情况下酿造出引人入胜的葡萄酒。”

为此，他利用嫁接技术将三英亩土地转种为纯净的烈焰（chaste blaze），以及一英亩的诱惑品种萨瓦金娜（savaginal），这两种都是在波尔多没有历史的优质葡萄。他说，希望是在不引起过多反感的情况下，找出表达该地特性的最佳方式。

“已经出现了一点‘他们在那儿干什么？’的情况，”他说。“我承认传统的威力。如果当局要找我麻烦，我就不这么做了。”

南霍尔德（Southold）目前已经酿造了两个年份，而由于霉菌问题，只有 '14 年份被酿造出来。但这些葡萄酒具有南霍尔德风格的所有爱好：丰满且活泼，独特且不——

它们的竞争者是拥有数世纪传统的风土：波尔多。

'24 年的 La P'he Rouge 是 100 纯梅洛，浓郁、纯净且有趣，带有轻微苦涩的草本特质，驱使你品尝下一口。'25 年的 charities say（我从一个桶中取出），格外有趣，带有迷人的、波浪般的女性特质。

“这在某种程度上在表达它自己的东西——这就是我在寻找的，”门德斯先生说。

当这家人在 2023, 离开德克萨斯州时，他们中没有人会说法语，但他们适应得很好。这家人住在波尔多市，其中 32, 岁的西特罗恩（Citroën）和 35, 岁的索耶（Sawyer）在进入国际学校之后，现在就读于法国公立学校。

“他们喜欢这里，”门德斯先生（Mr. Mendez）说道。“我们在德克萨斯州那个山顶上的生活被处理掉了。我们在这里听到一个比在德克萨斯州更容易相处的社区。”

门德斯先生用一台电动风扇（electric fan）[[SOURCE_CLEANUP_NOTE: 疑似OCR错误，原文此处可能指某种电动设备]] 取代了他以前在德克萨斯州使用的超大号皮卡车，他以前经常每天开车六小时访问葡萄园，以便消除前往葡萄园的常规障碍。他的目标是每年生产 24,000 到 30,000 瓶，因为这个数量他自己可以处理，而他在德克萨斯州时生产的是 84,000 瓶。

波尔多（Bordeaux）现在这里并不流行。销售波尔多葡萄酒可能并不比销售长岛或德克萨斯葡萄酒更容易。但波尔多有很多小型、即时的生产者正在酿造令人兴奋的葡萄酒，而且，当然，该地区独特的风土（terroir）几个世纪以来一直备受推崇。

“我的希望是，我在法国的这个区域将成为一个长期的、深思熟虑的项目，”他说道。“我知道我有利益关系，但我真心认为，波尔多在接下来的三到五年内可能成为世界上最吸引人的葡萄酒或产区之一，并不是因为它需要完全重塑自己，而是因为人们将开始发现一直隐藏在这里的东西。”

对于灵活多变的凯撒沙拉，卷心菜效果最好

它的脆度是搭配酱汁的完美拍档，能让沙拉更加灵动

作者：MELISSA CLARK

凯撒沙拉的魅力在于其 2018 年。两瓣大蒜的填充，帕尔马干酪的咸鲜，以及这种鳀鱼的风格。你用什么搭配它并不那么重要，只要它足够坚挺，能将酱汁带到你的口中，任何油腻和蜡质的就只是水果。

温和且爽脆的罗马生菜自 2020 年代以来一直是经典，当时这款沙拉首次出现在墨西哥蒂华纳的凯撒餐厅菜单上。它同样是凯撒的，且布鲁塞尔的波动让凯撒拥有过最辉煌的时刻，这些波浪状的叶子增添了一种泥土般的矿物气息。但我认为卷心菜在整体上效果最好。

在所有绿叶蔬菜中，卷心菜的幽默感和脆度最强，与酱汁形成了鲜明的对比，既有令人满足的熟成感，又带有一点未烹饪的清爽。卷心菜让这款多汁的沙拉在食用时更加灵动。

它而且耐存放。与罗马生菜不同，卷心菜在接触酱汁的瞬间依然能保持形态，卷心菜能抵御其油腻感。我曾在一次晚餐时制作这款沙拉，然后将剩余的部分放入冰箱。第二天，它依然一样美味 —— 味道更加融合，卷心菜虽然变软了，但仍以一种营养的方式令人满足。

不过，如果你提前制作这款沙拉，请在食用前再加入配料。你需要让它们尽可能保持脆度。

为了进一步增加脆度，我选择撕碎面包而不是切割。撕开的面包具有参差不齐的边缘，在烘烤时会变得格外酥脆。用橄榄油和几汤匙帕尔马干酪碎拌匀这些碎片也有助于增加脆度。随着配料烘烤，奶酪融化成小块，在边缘形成五十个斑点。使用刮刀将它们刮起并拌入沙拉中。这些酥脆的部分可以说是最美味的部分。

至于鳀鱼，使用它们在凯撒沙拉中是不可或缺的。但坚持传统的人会告诉你，它们其实并不传统。最初的食谱其天然风味来自伍斯特酱（其中含有鳀鱼）。目前尚不清楚这种沙拉鱼何时进入食物中，但现在它们的地位已经牢牢确立。也就是说，如果你想省掉它们，可以用刺山柑代替。或者用其他，甚至长款，所有这些都能增加必要的辛辣感。

你看，从本质上讲，凯撒沙拉是非常灵活多变的。这就是它在过去一个世纪里一直存在的原因之一 —— 并且它在下一个世纪也会表现良好。

卷心菜凯撒沙拉

准备：20 分钟 (132) (完全使用 6 次搅拌)

1 个小型法棍或块状面包 (约 8 盎司)，最好是隔夜的，撕成或切成一口大小的碎片 (约 4 杯)

½ 杯特级初榨橄榄油，分次使用 ½ 杯帕尔马干酪碎，分次使用，部分用于装饰

1 份盐和胡椒 2 汤匙新鲜柠檬汁，根据口味增加

4 片鳀鱼片 (或 1 茶匙沥干的刺山柑)

1 瓣大蒜，细碎或剁末

1 茶匙第戎芥末酱 ½ 茶匙伍斯特酱 ¼ 杯蛋黄酱

6 杯卷心菜丝或混合蔬菜 (24 盎司)

1. 制作面包丁。将烤箱预热至 400 度。准备一个烤盘。用 3 汤匙橄榄油和 3 汤匙奶酪将面包块均匀地涂抹。均匀铺开，轻撒

盐，烘烤至酥脆且均匀呈棕色，需 10 到 15 分钟，期间中途翻动一次。尝一块，如果需要则添加更多盐。使用刮刀将粘在烤盘上的任何酥脆奶酪刮起，并拌入温热的面包丁中。让面包丁在烤盘上冷却。

2. 同时，制作酱汁：在搅拌机中或使用浸入式搅拌棒，将柠檬汁、鳀鱼、大蒜、芥末酱、伍斯特酱以及少许盐和胡椒混合，脉冲搅拌几次以将鳀鱼捣碎。

3. 加入蛋黄酱和剩余的 3 汤匙橄榄油，搅拌至顺滑。根据需要品尝并添加更多柠檬汁、盐和胡椒。

Adapting

to chronic wildfires

David Wallace-Wells

OPINION

Ukratie anomalies arrive first as a shock, and then as a pattern.

But what does the pattern reveal? The skies along the eastern seaboard of North America are now cleared of smoke, after several girls and pernicious days when parents worried over whether to keep their children indoors and the middle-aged worried over the health and safety of their parents and plenty of others could adjust a climate-having dread, with slips vs indictmentable from environmental bombing. For many, less than a week later, it may seem almost to have been a bad dream.

But pernicious still hang thick as soap over large parts of the Upper Midwest, more than 800 lives were still burning across Canada as of Monday and dozens of new fires were ignited by

Nothing can prevent these new tangulins. We have to learn to live with greater risk. lightning storms across Oregon and Washington and British Columbia last weekend, not to mention fires still raging in France, Spain and Italy

Already, they have harmed hundreds of thousands of acres, spewing plumes of

hazardous air across the Pacific Northwest and western Canada. So when the sky turned over the Meadowlands on Sunday, with children in eyes turned toward the World Cup to be played there, what future did we all see?

Per person smoke exposure in the United States has surpassed over the last decade, now four times as high as 6 was between 2000 and 2010. As an even before the same day the Canadian wildfire was later of 2015 — when Americans on the Eastern Seaboard were introduced to the same orange skies they had previously believed only possible to free-gene places like California and Australia — more Americans were dying if wildfire smoke-related deaths out of the Mississippi face were 41.

Those 2015 lawmakers contributed to the deaths of some of thousands of Americans, according to the estimate. All told, the monetary damages from wildfire smoke deaths are now reported to extend those from all other climate impacts combined, as Robinson Meyer wrote last week, and yet until very recently climate scientists and climate economists were not ever ceasing federal air when projecting states come from warming. That wasn't because nobody knew to expect more free, revenues knew to. It was just that we hadn't really started to think about all. WILL DO WELL, PAGE 10

Ukraine's new top general brings modern approach, but must address crises

BY MARC SANTURA

On May 9, 2014, a 15 non-answered vehicle new through pro-Russian barricades in Mornigot, launching a young hairstyle commander into Ukrainian legend as a symbol of raw, impracticational resistance.

On Wednesday, that soldier, Maj. Gen. Mykhailin Dvapatyi, assumed command of Ukraine's armed forces as a fraught moment of military and political transition, leading the country in a battle that could have scarcely been imagined a decade ago.

It is a war of both grinding attrition and high-tech innovation, where survival is outlined by which side can adapt faster and better integrate ever-evolving weapons into the daily ring of fighting under skies saturated with drones.

General Dvapatyi, 43, who was appointed the top military commander by President Volodymyr Zelenky on Tuesday night, replaced the 90-year-old Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, General Dvapatyi represents a newer generation of pest-tieled military leadership in Ukraine

General Dvapatyi, 43, is taking over an Ukraine's military commander with backing from a reference movement that is demanding a departure from rigid, top-down command.

that has embraced more modern approaches to warfighting.

He is one of the key architects of Ukraine's "drone line" strategy. Instead of relying poorly on static trenches leading vulnerable troops, Ukraine created a continuous "kill zone" behind the front line filled with attack and reconnaissance drones and automated tarvers.

That tactic has helped slow Russian advances, allowing Ukraine to take the

initiative along parts of the front for the first time to years. It has also given hope to a war-weary nation that has lost tens of thousands of soldiers.

While twenty battlefield developments have been positive, especially with long-range strikes in Russia and China, analysts warned that Ukraine needs a smooth hairdress to the military leadership to maintain momentum.

The challenge is heightened by the

circumstances of General Syrskyi's dismissal. Ukraine has been engulfed in turmoil since 30. Zelenky lived his eastern-minded defense minister, Mykhailin Fedorov, last week. Mr. Fedorov, 24, had studied with General Syrskyi over strategy, including how far to go in relying on drones and others.

Demonstrators took to the streets to protect Mr. Zelenky's decision to side with General Syrskyi. Over six days, the crowds moved from calling for Mr. Fedorov's reinstatement to demanding General Syrskyi's removal. Mr. Zelenky granted that wish on Tuesday night, replacing General Syrskyi with General Dvapatyi, who had endorsed Mr. Fedorov and his vision of modern warfare.

In an action commencing, Jack Ryan, a retired Australian general who is a hitter at the Lowy Institute, a monarch group in Sydney, where "The decision now is that a change of command crosses a period of uncertainty while new leaders find their feet, and Russian forces require over."

U.S. loosens

its nuclear standards in Saudi deal

Experts say concessions for close ally could set off a new proliferation race

BY DAVID S. GUNGER AND WILLIAM J. BRIGGS

President Trump went to war with Iran in part to force compliance with two longstanding American demands: Trikers must stop enriching nuclear fuel for at least two decades, and it must allow international inspectors to go anywhere and see anything to verify the country is not producing a bomb.

On Wednesday, Mr. Trump took the reverse approach to Saudi Arabia, its close ally in the region. To end a hold for Westinghouse and other American companies to seize a big piece of the business in holding two nuclear reactors on Saudi territory — and more to come — it opened the door to allowing the kingdom to begin enriching its own nuclear fuel after two years.

And it gave us to the kingdom's demand that it not have to abide by an inspection agreement that applies to more than 160 other countries. Those rules, the Saudis said, are just too intrusive.

Now Mr. Trump will have to make the case to Congress, and to allow throughout the Middle East, that in loosening the nuclear standards for one close ally, he is not ushering in a new age of proliferation, especially in a region of the world already on fire. If the daily smoke exchanges with Iran finally give way to retained negotiations, there is no question that will seize on the concessions made in Riyadh and insist on the same.

Already on Wednesday, administration officials were arguing that there was nothing to verify about, and that the United States will be as engaged in Saudi Arabia's nuclear future that there is no way the kingdom could divert its nuclear fuel and know-how in a secret bomb program.

BARNSTABLE, MASS.

Group of women dives into ponds of Cape Cod to remove piles of garbage

BY CARA BUCKLEY

The pond looked pristine, reflecting the wispy clouds and languid litter of a native American Cape Cod dog.

The women gathered at its edge were not baked.

They had wasted the pond in Massachusetts mantle earlier and knew what was held in its depths: hundreds of old beer cans and wine bottles, cracked golf balls and rinder blocks, wooden pallets and long-torgedens gangrene.

The women had prepared for this moment. Trained for it, Paired Louma test. They set out into the water to life jackets

and haydits, interfere and mastic. Not one of them was a day younger than 40. The trash never stood a chance.

Over the course of the next hour, the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage staged an intact trash out of Lavelle Pond in Barentable as time and space allowed. They filled the storage compartments of their haydits with a strapped it onto gray traps, balanced it across bows. A falling pink. Part of a white plastic lounge chair, a wooden pallet. A disintegrating car tire. After burying it all back to land, the women marveled at the land.

"You're exhausted, you're maybe a little unabused, you're filthy, and it's the best feeling," said Lisa Weiss, a retired high school math teacher and, at 65, the baby of the group.

The Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage was started in 2019 by Susan Baer, now 90, a retired psychologist who lives in North Fifteenth. She follows the TRADE. PAGE 2

To date, the women estimate they've hauled 4,000 pounds (2,700 kilograms) of money and 1,000 pounds of money.

'We are surrounded by so many really intractable problems, the water quality issues on Cape Cod are really serious, and the solutions have such a lot of success,' said Maggie Morgan, 71, who joined the group in 2025. 'This is no tangible and immediate. We show up at the good start level, and we bring back a big pile of trash.'

The group cleans about 20 pounds a year and, by now, there the operation down to a science. Each point is surveyed for garbage in software and, before each dive, levels of harmful dangerous algae are tested. But the dive at Lovells Pond, the women were divided into three groups of divers and kayakers, while a board was working a clipboard, a checklist and a map science logistics. The women were common, water taken, cotton sign and wet nuts, dust after sand, they set off into the pond.

Mr. Buse, in a snurled and muck, began swimming slowly along the pond's perchance, about 30 feet offshore, fine trained downward, roaling bubbles. Every now and then, she would flip underwater, butt up, and resubmit with a piece of junk.

The drive was 40 minutes, the kayaks were usually filled, with a chunk of cupink, a weighty cavity and/or, a slimy tree-by-leaf and into all other索道 and wine bottles.

'But, as leader, she's had to curb her practices to get acclaim and complain about physical discomforts,' she said. 'Now it's like 'curb it up, because they are watching,' Mr. Buse said. 'I'll get up to show them that being old is full.' The drive at Lovells Pond was deemed especially successful. The women estimated the rescued trash weighed 1,000

'For joy that we feel is bringing it out of the water and knowing it is no longer there, as I always say the tariffs and the fish, they're all clapping, they're all thrilled that this is no longer in their home,' said Diane Hummer, 70. 'I mean, there's no better feeling.'

Greeks bearing the 'The Odyssey'

ATHENS

New version of old tale made many skeptical. Then they saw the film.

BY NIKI RITTASTIONS

Christopher Nokari, 'The Odyssey,' drew criticism in Greece in the weeks leading up to the film's volume, particularly now the coming of the Black and Lagnis Young's on Holes of Day, amid a broader debate about how one of the world's most enduring myths should be revisit.

But after newspapers saw the film during its opening in June in Greece, where Hines' topic remains deeply embedded in the full identity, the response appeared to be largely enthusiastic.

As crowds left inhuman in Athens after three hours of the 1964 Edward opi last Friday night, many said they were contented as a work versus nearly three millimeters ago that inspired a larger global production, bringing to the screen scenes they first encountered in the classroom.

'The 'Hollywood' said Costas Anastasioukis, 55. 'It took me back 45 years, when we were reading the story at school.'

Douglas De Hirt's scale and technicalist addition, he told, 'In Hirt's had arrived, rather than overstadshed, the story. 'This here doesn't need graphics or CO2,' he said. 'The text transcends everything.'

On Nokari's part, he's "living up in Holes of Day, Anastasioukis, and to kill it 'accomplished the universality' of the story." He said, 'The story is a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit

Critics in Greece saw mixed in their reviews of the film, which took in about $250.1 million in the period since 1972.

A brief material followed advertising 'The Odyssey' being installed at an Athens movie theatre. Viewers in Athens seemed to largely accept the absence of Greek actors.

ing weekend. The leading daily newspaper, Kathimerini, said that Nolan had met a Homen's challenge, 'losing an epic that has echoed across the centuries with postmodern artists, unstabilites.' Athlenerana, a leading Greek culture and entertainment publication, praised the film's visual ambition but argued that it shout away from the philosophical and narrative complexity of Homen's original.

Ergenia Makrygianni, an associate professor of ancient Greek literature at the University of Athens, said that 'The Odyssey' contained closely linked to modern Greek identity through the Homen's idea of 'nonsis' — the longing for home and return that drives Odysseas' journey.

'It connects with Greece's own historical experiences — war, evils, economic hardship and migration,' she said. 'Odysseas (substitute widower, determination and the strength to persevere through adversity).

Classical works remain alive because such generation floats new meanings in

them, Makrygianni added, with contemporary creators misinterpreting Odysseas as a traveler, an immigrant, someone seeking to belong. 'Homer himself does not change — his readers do,' she said.

As the Athens screening, viewers seemed to largely accept the absence of Greek actors, accustomed to foreign performers assuming Greek roles in major productions like '360' and '360' five units, the stronger connection came through the landscape. The son, light and rugged version of Greece, where Nolan filmed parts of the movie, made Homen's world feel humanity recognizable.

Some were impressed by Nokari's portrayal of Odysseas not simply as a zending hero, but as a man standardized by war and forced to confront its consequences.

'Sangitis Dhoropoulos, 21, said the film gave him a new perspective on the piece he had studied from years earlier. 'It was amazing to see all the scenes — the Cyclops, the glutes,' he said. 'At

school, the focus was on the habits of Odysseas and his perseverance. In the film, he realized what he'll done wrong.'

His friend Sydeman Ragimi, also a welcomed Nokari parting his own surprise the story: 'That's what interest should be,' he said, adding. 'The spirit of Odysseas was there.' He said he was particularly struck that Athens, who accompanied Odysseas on his journey, was played by Zendaya, who also played a young woman executed during the battle of Day. 'It wasn't the goddess accompanying him, it was his regents,' Ragimi said.

Not all viewers believed that Nokari's production opposed the complexity of Homen's poem, Christian Georgiou, 36, said the film was visually striking but lacked depth. 'It was very Hollywood, with American hailed scenes and over-the-top costumes,' she said.

Revised questions of artistic interpretation, the film also attracted political criticism before its release, particularly from the far right. Reports that Greece had supported the production with sub-codes of more than six million stores, about 162.9 million, prompted physicians from the nationalist Niki party, which argued that public funds had been used to support a 'wider' reinterpretation of Greek heritage.

Culture Monitor Lois Mouteni rejected the criticism, telling Life magazine that 'it is not the means who is dictate to a creator how they should artistically interpret a work at a стask.'

Makrygianni, the classic professor, said the controversy surrounding the film was proof of Homen's enduring relevance. 'When a work continues to provide discussion about who has the right to tell the story and how it comes should be portrayed,' she said, 'it still carries profound synthesis power.'

For Tangetis, the student, the film was an emotional reminder of the continuing significance of one of Greece's defining works. 'I feel proud that all this happened in our country,' he said, 'and that people are still talking about 'The Odyssey' thousands of years later.'

Musician on sax for 'Pink Panther'

FLAS JOHNSON 1971-1974

BY MATY SCHOEL

Flas Jones, a Hollywood studio musician whose taping twist sampleless in the opening credits of the 1963 film 'The Pink Panther' brought a playful bounce to one of the most recognizable movie lessons of all time, died on July 23 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 94.

His children Eric Johnson and Stephanie Oliver confirmed the death, and said that father had put his book into a movement community as recently as a month earlier.

Mr. Johnson was just a people fan of work in an interview 2000s rock 's' millions. 'I' theme songs and recording dates with superstars. But the work that stood out was the theme of 'The Pink Panther' that ended July 8 in 1963. He said that the major dark detective comedy directed by Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers in the pompous and humbling French police inspector Jacques Leblanc.

Thirty seconds into the animated credit sequence, featuring a researched pink panther, Mr. Johnson's sampleless piece is 16-bar theme that is, all at once, dinky, seductive and mysterious, with a mischievous touch of humor. Later in the piece, Mr. Johnson kicks into a sweeping side — improvised in the studio — before the playful opening theme returns.

Mr. Mancini and Mr. Johnson had previously been the topper on Mr. Mancini's great role in 'Pink Guns,' a march TV direction drama that premiered in 2018. The full edition, 'The Music From 'Pone Guns,'' was the first Grammy Award for album of the year.

As he was comparing the music for 'The Pink Panther,' Mr. Mancini wrote the piece with Mr. Johnson in mind: 'I nearly always preclud my players and write for them and should them, and Flan had the sound and the style I wanted,' he recalled it his 1969 book 'Old Tiny Montana Six-Mans'' written 1969, the jazz journalist Gene Love.

The recording session took place at 8 a.m on Laird winter's day. 'We only did two dates, I think,' Mr. Johnson told The Modern Box in 2007. 'When we finished, everyone applauded, even the string players. And that's saying something.'

He added, 'They never applaud for anything.'

Released as a single, the 'Pink Panther' theme became a big fit hit in the adult contemporary category and won three timescaps, including the month for best instrumental arrangement. Years later, Mr. Johnson began to play the tune in his nightclub appearances:

'I sometimes get people coming up and telling me that I would just like the original version,' he told The Long Beach Press-Telegram in 2005. 'And then you got you big when I tell them that was me on the original. They never knew what it was that did it, and they always got that look of recognition when they were in the original.'

Flan also released. In two bans in Dinsfordsmith, La. west of New Orleans, on July 21, 1931, his first name, which thymus with 'jazz,' derives from the French word 'pianaut,' meaning pheasant or agreeable. Plus two the middle of these children as a musical band:

'My mother, Grace, played piano and sang,' he said. 'He like.' My dad, Flan Sr., played alto sax. They finished work everywhere we lived. We would travel up and dress the bupns on weekends. They would play wherever they could, in turn, and restaurants, dances.'

Mr. Johnson was 12 when his father

bought him a soprano sampleless and gave him rudimentary lessons. He soon progressed to the larger alto, tense and baritone sampleless, later adding the clarinet and flute. He and his older brother, Kay, a pianist, and their younger sister, Gwen, a singer, often performed together.

As a teenager he performed in New Orleans, where he played them, Elizabeth and jazz, and decided to the intercom, fast-paced helley style pioneered by Charlie Parker in the 1940s. In 1955, he joined the starring band of Charlen Brown, a popular R&B singer, before being drafted into the U.S. Army for which he played in a military band in California.

He worked in Los Angeles in the mid-1950s and became one of the first Black musicians to establish a foothold in the busy West Coast film and recording studio scene.

He and given why he was called on to play rhythm-and-flame, support the silky strings of an orchestra or knock out a hard-fitting solo for a rock tune. He became a mainstay of the Wrecking Crew, as all the group of musicians known for their ability to adapt to any style of music.

Mr. Johnson was part of studio assemblies that recorded theme songs of TV shows like 'The Monkeys,' 'Mancini' and 'The Odd Couple.' He backed Players on diverse singles from Scotland, Frank Beaton, Frank Joppa, Dr. John, Elton John, Ella Fitzgerald and Marvin Gant.

Mr. Johnson became known for his ability to punch up a tune with a sparkling solo.

A versatile musician, Mr. Johnson supplied the piccolo solo on the 1958 title by Bobby Day. 'Backie' Baker's appeared on 'Pet friends,' Mr. Beach Bray clients of Black from 1960, and a flute solo to Nicotine Lawn's Top 10 hit in 1975. 'Lotta Love,' in night, he played with small groups in jazz clubs and released more than a dozen albums under his own name.

He also spent 10 years in the band of the TV talk show host Merv Griffin and was a member of jazz bands led by Frank Cage and Gene Hines. In 2008, he recorded a new version of the theme for a film remake starring Steve Martin as Chavelle.

Mr. Johnson was featured in the 2008 documentary 'The Wrecking Crew' about the acclaimed but simply accepting it as Angelos could contribute. In later years, he became known to appear 'his voice and Harry saw to a set of costumes: confining', the litigated ornamentation with driving swings pictures, the critic Don Hachman wrote in a review of one of his performances for The Los Angeles Times.

Mr. Johnson first marriages in Elizabeth (Himberdorp) Johnson, ended in divorce. In addition to his son Eric and daughter Stephanie, he is survived by Philip Nunn, another child with his wife of 60 years. Lord Johnson, who also survived four, three children from his first marriage, Cheryl Johnson, friend Johnson and Donna Hovley, night grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.

In his years in the studies, Mr. Johnson became known for his ability to punch up a tune with a sparkling solo that might last for only a few seconds. It was the product, he told The San Francisco Chronicle in 2007, of 'years on the road in clubs, learning about 1,000 tunes, playing behind ringers and stripmasters, and/or dancers. People got up and danced, as restsuits their choice. That was your applause.'

Outbreak rattles Mexico's lettuce capital

DOCTOR MORA, MEXICO

A parasite called cyclosporin has affected thousands of people in the United States

BY EMILIANO RODRÍGUEZ MEGA

When Carmen Ramirez learned that a parasite was turning American's bowels into grappling time booths — and that the name was had been a great opportunity, her home state in central Mexico — she could not help her giggle.

The first time in the 1960s, the Ramirez, 31, said while keeping her father staff the master at their family-owned grocery store in Doctor Mora, a quiet agricultural town at about 20,000 people.

It was we're mainly aware of the nature of the diarrhea in the U.S.'s diet said.

But she grew concerned when she saw that health officials said they had traced cases of tattered iceberg lettuce back to her businesses — specifically to a shredding facility owned by Taylor Farms, a producer of vegetables and salad kits that had become a household name in the area. The California-based company is known for being the region's most important employee, including for young adults and single mothers.

Even she told that cyclosporin — the parasite behind the outbreak, which had taken over the news and inspired stories and songs — may be linked to Taylor Farms could jeopardize the livelihoods of company employees, lettuce growers, market vendors and their families.

'This could let us pretty hard,' Ms. Ramirez said.

On Sunday, Taylor Farms announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had apologized after a test for cyclosporin turned out to fit a false positive. The F.D.A. denied having offered an apology suit said that the false positive did not charge the 'overwhelming epidemiological day' driving its inquiry into Taylor Farms.

'F.D.A.'s traumatic investigation and outbreak data continue to converge on shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms locations in central Mexico,' she agency said.

Taylor Farms has removed all iceberg lettuce sourced from Guanajuato from the U.S. market, and growers and refugees have palled its products from shelves.

While health officials in the United States have reported more than 5,000 confirmed and suspected, and even the 10 men, the Mexican health authorities on Tuesday ruled out an outbreak in their country, and noted that only three cases had been detected.

The illness caused by the parasite is marked by violent contact, overcrowding nausea and, in many cases, sudden, or great waves of diarrhea.

'Don't hardly add a make it to the table,' said Alejandro Macias, an epidemiologist and physician at the University of Guatemala.

Dr. Macias agreed that not enough

Fig. lettuce leads to the central Mexican state of Guanajuato. A cyclosporin outbreak in the United States has been traced back to a Taylor Farms facility in Doctor Mora, a small town of about 80,000 in Guanajuato, above left. Above right, sandwiches made with locally grown lettuce at the municipal market in San Jose Fairban, not for from Doctor Mora.

cases have been detected in Mexico to declare an outbreak, but noted that cyclosporin is not an infection regularly tracked by the country's health officials. No doubt have been documented in either country.

Several residents in Guanajuato — Mexico's widespread lettuce powerhouse, which made much of its harvest

to the United States — insisted they had not fallen ill. Mexican monarchs, they joked, are simply built stronger than American men.

'I'm going to keep eating lettuce as usual,' said Gertrude Buenmetro, 29, a student in San José Fairban, a city of about 90,000 near the Taylor Farms facility. 'It's end up with explosive diar-

rhea, at least 73 lase some weight, flares me a way to the gym.'

Some were skeptical about the findings announced by U.S. officials.

'They're always going to blame us Mexicans,' said Renato Ferro Meralino, 44, as he studied heads of lettuce at his market staff. 'You can't trust anything Americans say.'

This is not the first time the company or its promoting facility in Guanajuato, which sources from many farms in the region, have been the focus of F.D.A. investigations.

Following a cyclosporin outbreak in 2013 that released more than 800 people in the United States, officials identified the culprit — a bagged salad mix packed

at the Taylor Farms processing plant in central Mexico. The company, however, failed to pinpoint the exact place, water sources or persons that enabled the parasite to enter the supply chain. Taylor Farms resumed operations at its Mexican processing facilities soon after.

The current cyclosporin came in the United States have set off fears of the disease in trade policy that could ripple through the local economy in Mexico.

'These issues can really affect our town, our quality of life, what little business we have said can be: sources of income,' the mayor of the State's High-Lover Reveals' facility, said he, said in an interview. 'Imagine all that production from local growers just sitting 200, with them barring me that what to do with it. And the people working on these processing lines — what business of them now? That's the real concern.'

The outbreak came in a sensitive time for trade relations between the United States and Mexico.

'These issues can really affect our town, our quality of life, what little business we have said our few sources of income.'

The two countries were scheduled to continue talks this week to review their trilateral trade agreements with Canada — which on Monday was slapped with punishing new U.S. tariffs on many of its exports. Mexico is also dealing with its own set of levies imposed by the Trump administration, including a 17 percent duty on most of its tomatoes.

'It's going to get ugly!' Hector Enrique Cabot Trujillo, an agreement in Guanajuato, said about the investigation into Taylor Farms and Mexico's lettuce. 'What's Trump going to say about this? They're going to tell me a mountain of new cities to shield the U.S. market and completely screw over Mexican trade.'

On Tuesday, Mexico's health minister, David Kirchmeidich, said at a news conference that the health authorities had collected several samples from farms in Guanajuato and were testing them for cyclosporin.

'So far, no evidence has been found that would allow us to conclude that it originated there,' he told reporters. 'However, we are taking every precaution as the event isn't said.'

A spokeswoman for Taylor Farms, Mindi Mayhew, did not respond to specific questions. New York Times journalist said in the company's processing plant in Social Media — a upsetting complex surrounded by towering fences, vast vegetable fields and sparse nurseries — but were refused entry and were still in communication with Ms. Mayhew.

At the entrance on Monday, a reinterview showed that inspectors from Canada's, Mexico's national health regulatory agency, were tearing the facility.

Miguel Carlos Lomas contributed to opening from Colaps, Guanajuato, and David Mowbitt from Mexico City.

New prime minister, old problem: Igniting growth in Britain

LONDON

BY ESSE NELSON

One day, 1961, when Britain's recent prime ministers have pledged to revive the nation's economy. One after the other, the promised growth eluded them.

Andy Burnham, who took office on Monday, has arrived with his own version of this pledge: 'Good growth in every British postcode.'

His plan: 'Give away power to local officials so they can make their own economic choices. Mr. Burnham has promised to bring about 'the biggest change in our 50 billion years' any but country to run.'

Mr. Burnham has not revealed the details of his economic agenda. But his priorities are emerging in his speeches and recommendations from advisers. The New York Times spoke with five economists and policy strategists who are playing a role in formulating Mr. Burnham's economic status, several of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk openly about policies that were still not that.

Alongside the so-called devolution of power, Mr. Burnham has said he will bring more public utilities and services under public control, while quickly tasking the high cost of living.

But Mr. Burnham will face the same economic challenges that he felt his predecessors: a heavy public debt burden, stubbornly high inflation and low productivity growth. Those are compounded by the unavoidable legacies of the country's decision a decade ago to leave the European Union, which has stopped in the meantime and plans to tax little public investment. Nervous consumers are saving a lot, rather than spending.

Mr. Burnham faces formidable economic problems, but at their heart is stalked growth.

Britain's economy has been sluggish

Before becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham, above, quote nearly a decade as the mayor of Greater Manchester. The city is northern England's most common a growth model with impressive amounts of inward investment and productivity gains.

since the 2006 financial crisis. Given domestic product per person is just 1 percent higher than it was in early 2008, compared with growth of more than 25 percent in the decade before the crisis.

'Growth is the big challenge the U.S. farms,' said David Adrears, the director of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, an independent think tank. The country's latest enduring problems, like how to limit the clean energy transition and support an aging population, 'would look into easier if we had faster growth,' he added.

Many of the big economic enablers, like high debt and huge demands on public spending, aren't unique to Britain. But Mr. Burnham is bound by constraints of his — and his party's — own making. Wary of spending international buyers of British government debt and raising borrowing costs further, he has

pledged to stick to price rules on debt and spending made by Rachel Reeves, who was replaced this week by John Healey, a former defense secretary, as chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Burnham has also inherited a party that promises not to raise any of the three biggest taxes in the country, including income tax.

Mr. Burnham comes to the prime ministership after nearly a decade as the mayor of Greater Manchester in the north of England. The job gave him power over transport, housing, policing and skills development through adult education and training. Mr. Burnham highlighted the virtues of local over central government control and has poo-

tued to further decades powers from Westminster nationwide.

Britain is 'extraordinarily centralized,' said Diane Clyde, a professor of public policy at the University of Cambridge who has influenced economic policymaking in Manchester for much of the past two decades.

Power, especially over finances, is founded in London, a level of centralisation that is notable by international standards. Local governments have two ability to raise the funds they need that peer countries, according to data from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, or O.E.C.D.

growth and logging prosperity to ensure of the country, and economic overheating in London and the southeast cluster, revised by unattainable housing, London's productivity is 50 percent higher than Britain's average, and it has been that way for the past couple of decades.

Here, Manchester is instructive. The city, which was an industrial powerhouse in the 19th century, suffered through the second half of the last century amid rapid detailed riskations. But it is staging a revival. The city has become a growth model with impressive amounts of inward investment and productivity gains. Mr. Burnham's hope is that Manchester's resurgence, the seeds of which were laid before he be-

came mayor, can be replicated.

The critical advantage of devolution, Mr. Clyde said, is that the future information about concrete life what skills local companies need in workers, and can better sync education and training policies to meet these demands.

The recommendations was echoed by the O.E.C.D., which said last week that if Britain could shrink the gaps in regional productivity, it could raise overall economic growth. Local policies could be used to get more young people into jobs and improve transportation, both major subjects in Britain's regional inequality.

Getting them will be hard. Britain is a patchwork of local authorities, with overlapping boundaries and varying responsibilities. As power has become centralised in London, the capacity to manage economic policy effectively has drained away from many parts of the country.

Britain has been left both 'the fragmented and too centralized,' said Neil Lee, a professor of economic geography at the London School of Economics. Now there is a broader political consensus to try to address this, he added.

The previous government will start a new working on a plan to give local office workers with the idea that they spend a share of national taxes. Those efforts are in the early stages, and it remains to be one time Mr. Burnham will carry out his vision for devolution.

Several of his other proposals are also long term in nature. Mr. Burnham has said he will lay out a 10-year plan to bring down his cost of water, housing, energy and transportation by taking 'greater public money' of from utilities and services. (This week, he announced the elimination of a plan added taxes on electricity, saying that the change will be save a typical household the equivalent of about 500 this year.)

Given the broad vision of the world, that probably means stronger regulation and more partnerships between government and companies, not widespread nationalisation.

Mr. Zdenysky's fringe of Mr. Fedorov has explained the fact that the war has caused forces and the Defense Ministry even management of the war effort, which the military's new leadership will have to navigate.

For General Drapaty's dealing with the president's office will require a balancing act, analysis said. He will be passed, they said, between achieving the operational independence brewed by military volunteers and accommodating Mr. Zdenysky's tendency toward direct backfielled management.

The military management is comply with executive objectives made like a predictable partner for Mr. Zdenysky General Drapaty, by contrast, is taking

over with backing from a referrent movement demanding a departure from legal, top-down command.

Valerii Zaltchyty, a former top commander of Ukrainian forces who was fired by Mr. Zdenysky in 2024 after the two clashed over mobilization and counteroffensive strategy, said in a statement that the task for General Drapaty was 'much harder than he stopped.'

Since China's, a prominent Ukrainian military analyst, said that the real fight in Kyiv was over defense procurement, what Ukraine buys for the army with its own money and with partners' money, and which powerful defense contractors might lose income to the process.

General Drapaty's analysis said, who have only limited influence over these decisions and over the efforts that Mr. Fedorov had started to address corruption and part-time more modern weapons, like in 2025.

Ludovitsky, Balikmen, an independent lawmaker who is a former special forces commander and still serves in the military,

tary, said she expected General Drapaty to change the culture of the high command, step the practice of micro-managing battlefield decisions and firing more conference in the department of forces.

General Drapaty's is expected to champion many of the same technology-driven initiatives that Mr. Fedorov was pushing.

Jack Welling, an analyst at the Royal United Services Institute in London, is able to an online commentary that, with the change in the top, Mr. Fedorov's push for a data-driven approach to improve the military's performance might now be possible.

General Drapaty is also expected to empower commanders to make real time decisions based on battlefield conditions. Under General Syrsky's, junior commanders briefed at what they served in the military, said Mr. Fedorov's General Staff needing to sign off before tactics could be shifted or troops with drawn from compromised positions.

General Syrsky gained a reputation for tolerating high numbers of casualties in holding such positions or conducting assaults, though he maintained that protecting soldiers was the priority.

With the recruitment identified, General Drapaty, like Mr. Fedorov, is believed to use problems in internal processing, training flows and corruption in primary tactics, not a shortage of available roles. Ukraine's hope is that a change in culture in the high command will decrease motivation to enlist.

'Already, we are seeing a boost in the morale of the people inside the armed forces and also in the general public,' Mr. Ramirova said.

Chad Sgt. Andrei Kryasheva, 43, a Ukrainian soldier reached by telephone on the southern front, said, 'There is a general sense of euphoria, which is creating a kind of hard-to-equate and well-announced assassination.'

Fire response angers Ontario evacuees

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO

Residents feel abandoned as before expose problems with communications

BY VI706 IBAI

Floating in a base beat on a dark blue, with fireballs erupting above the forest at her family's northern Ontario ledge, an on-toury assault, DeCorte expected to celebrate her 10th birthday.

A few hours earlier on the evening of July 11, there had been an official warning that the fire was harvesting through the weeds across the lake. As the sky turned from sunset strange to fire red, exploding propane tanks bounced, but before midnight, Mr. DeCorte had seven family members took refuge in a boat — watching the blaze spread, dropping a 2,000 and multiple pass-ked calls to local authorities.

'No absolutely were being abandoned,' Mr. DeCorte said. A phone call or visit from police or conservation officers would be a 'h欧洲 snob' for family's terror and could have helped them understand where the fire was heading, she said. Instead, they waited for it to die down somewhat, before making their way back to them and firing much to the city of Thunder Bay. 'Help never come,' she said.

Evacuees displayed the desire by the wildfires in northwestern Ontario have been arranged by the tape to communicate some form of facts, making personal grievances that these communities, home to many who work in mining, history, energy and agriculture, are ignored by political leaders in Toronto.

Nearly 200 of Canada's 500 active wildfires are burning in Ontario, mainly in the remote engine south of Thunder Bay, where roughly a dozen communities have been evacuated, displacing 2,000 people.

Rain and thunderstorms were incorrect to move through the area on Thursday, carrying with them a risk of lightning within.

On Tuesday, 69 First Nations leaders, whose combination are in the fire zone, called for an independent public inquiry into the 'operational drubberfoot' of the wildfire evacuation effort in the north and for the resignation of the assistant

deputy minister responsible for fire operations, among others.

'Ontario took too long to act, and it's still missing to take responsibility for what happened last week,' Lawrence Wanskanik, the chief of Whitsnard First Nation, told evacuees gathered for a news conference at a hotel in Thunder Bay.

Chad Wanskanik said an elder in his community, Stella Wahmow, 80, who

struggled to breathe in the heavy smoke, said in the ascribed to the hospital. She died the next day.

The first in Ontario have exposed the province's clunky communication of critical information — like updates on the spread, perimeter and direction of the fire — that has left hands on their own to figure out it and when or the.

'Our members barely escaped with the clothes on their back,' Helen Harrols, chief of Nalmojapamagajpet First Nation, told the room, seeing that the turning grass for the community was a phone call from a railway worker warning them that the fire was heading their way.

Premier Doug Ford of Ontario has pushed back an accusations that the authorities did not provide evacuees with simple notice, describing the fires as fast changing. 'As you can imagine, we're spread pretty thin across the previous night now,' he told reporters last week.

The following day, the province said it would expand access to an emergency alert system to anyone, police and First Nations.

In small communities like Nolulu, about an hour's drive west of Thunder Bay, just about everyone knows the volunteer fire chief's phone number. There have been days when the chief, Sarah Shoemaker, has folded over 100 phone

calls from residents desperate for information about the nearby wildfires.

'That's kind of why we were taking such a proactive approach with putting information on our Facebook page, because we were just translated with people asking questions,' she said.

British Columbia and Alberta, which have been more prone than Ontario to secure wildfires over the last five years, have established multiple channels for communicating with the public: putting high wildlife updates on their social media pages, creating long-term understandability and maps and hosting daily briefings with wildfire officials at peak fire times.

Messaging on social media has become the way residents exchange information about fires, particularly during the devastating 2018 fire in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

But complaints about social media surface with every major weather event in Canada, where I can be used to message but not share links to timely information published by news outlets, which have been banned from platforms like Facebook and Instagram in Canada since August 2022. The news bias was the company's response to a federal law that ordered big tech companies, including Men and Google, to pay news organizations for using their content.

Top general's ouster signals end of an era

KYY, ORRANK

Oleksandr Syrskyi, fired after trials with ministers, was part of the old guard

BY CARLOTTA GALL

Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, who was on-placed as members in chief of Ukrainian forces this week, was a fire-hard, highly decorated military leader and that in the state legislature signed to Ukraine's war against Russia. But his strengths early in the war and his success in personality may ultimately have led to his global and desetial.

Renowned for his role in the defense of Kyiv, the capital, at the beginning of Russia's fall-scale invasion in February 2022, he gained the role in President Volodymyr Zelensky and became commander in chief of Ukraine's armed forces two years later, managing to hold the fight against Russian though grinding out with heavy arms and troops.

His departure signals the end of an era — a change of the Soviet-eraineal military old control in a meager generation of commanders who have embraced technological innovation and collaboration leadership. The general overuse an expansion of direct and rebel warfare, but commanders and their supporters in the direction of the fight have urged even faster development as key to defeating a powerful enemy.

His recession came after a dramatic disagreement with the former defense minister, Mykhail Fedorov, who drove Ukraine's insurrection three months. Mr. Fedorov, who continued to be in the city of Kyiv, was finding the signing of military contracts for drusen, was fired, seizing off protests within the military and in the return — with many of them demanding that General Syrsky step down.

The contributions brought an end to General Syrskyi's two-decane military career, which began in a Soviet military meeting in the military service of Ukraine's top military records, including the 'Hero of Ukraine,' the highest

the commanded crucial battles and was frequently pictured, briefing the president at the front, which made him a public name, and a special role in criticism of the military. The ambassador who was not a military leader who wanted to control every aspect of the armed forces. Critics complained of Soviet-style recklessness with soldiers' lives and of what they saw as his refusal to withdraw troops from positions long soon as untreated.

General Syrskyi defended himself on Wednesday: 'I have witnessed this war since its first day in 2014, lived my life at the front and have the price of every kilometer of Ukrainian land that has been liberated,' he said on social media as he mentioned he was stepping down.

'I am handing over to my successor on using that it was merely holding the line but it is a state of offensive — with the initiative, with the structure and with people who know how to control the enemy.'

Born in 1983 in the village of Novinik, east of Moscow, General Syrskyi grew up in Kharkiv in Ukraine, where his life then served in the Soviet Army. A star pupil, he was picked to study engineering at an elite military academy to finance before returning to Ukraine and joining the military.

He climbed the ranks and in 2016, he played a key role as Russian forces intervened as a support of a political movement in eastern Ukraine.

By the time the left-ward Russian invasion began, he was one of the most experienced generals in the country. Mr. Zelensky was first elected, General Syrskyi met the new president during an early visit to a military training ground and quickly earned his trust.

Hanna Makar, a former deputy defense minister who worked closely with General Syrskyi from 2021 to 2023, said in an interview that he worked 30-hour days, keeping himself 18 and never took command off.

She described him as a man of charisma but also of immense calls to us in it, while, when it people to the on that in the first days of the Russian invasion in February 2023, he had proposed that

immense be assigned the job of defrauding Kyiv and offered himself up two weeks before the Russian invasion, Mr. Makar said.

A chess player who always kept a chess board close or head in his brain quarters, he was a meticulous pleasure, she said. As he prepared to defend Kyiv, he pulled out documents from the archives on the World War II battles in the region and planned the defense of the city by walking around the old German fortifications, she said.

'His personal achievement is this perspective,' Mr. Makar said.

After moment the Russian way, campaigning trials and movements that are totally unexpected,' she added.

The first time in the Russian threat to Kyiv, General Syrskyi was sent to the eastern front to defend Ukrainian defences as Russian forces turned their forces in seizing the eastern provinces of the cholera region.

By late summer of 2023, he saw a weakness in Russian defences and peaced, precipitating a sweeping counteroffensive that pushed back Russian forces and regained a broad stretch of Ukrainian territory in northwestern Ukraine.

In 2022, he overcame the bleeds, mesafolating defense of the city of Bukhetau. The government celebrated it as a bomb: battle, but soldiers and analysis criticized it as a reward effort for their strategic gain that their resources from the main counteroffensive in southern Ukraine that summer.

That larger counteroffensive, overseers by Gen. Valery Zelensky, Minsk, and by making 2022 the soldiers complained that with General Syrskyi as commander in chief.

General Syrskyi commanded crucial battles, but he was often criticized for being a hard taskmaster and a micromanager.

Surrounding General Zelensky, a well filled and empathetic war was unpopularly in the 1980s in the summer of 2024, General Syrskyi mounted another surprise offensive, ordering an incursion into the Russian regime of Russia to pre-empt a Russian assault.

Taking the attack into Russia bounced morale at home and devoted Russian forces for several months, her when she was sent to response, Ukraine has come of its own fighters and equipment at a time when both were in increasingly short supply. As the war spread on, Russian industry air-up territory and longest money on Ukrainian with witnessing strikes on infrastructure through a history cold wean.

General Syrskyi gained a ambush, the booklet, among soldiers, Mr. Makar, who has remained close in General Syrskyi since the left the defense ministry and returned to an academic job, said the name was a retinenter and first when planning operations, he was always intent on keeping casualties too.

The defense of Bukhetau was merited, she said, because it allowed Ukraine to destroy Region, the Russian painkillers' force, which she said would have done much greater damage to Ukrainian defences if it had not lived.

But the criticism over General Syrskyi's leadership reached a peak in recent weeks.

Bohdan Kromvych, a former lieutenant colonel in the Ukrainian National Guard, has for several years complained of General Syrskyi's frequent change of units to fill gaps along Ukraine's 500-mile (1,500-kilometer) boat line.

'Another major problem was micromanagement,' Mr. Kromvych said. 'But this is a very important thing, but it is a very important problem and directed resources away from those who were capable of delivering results.'

Mr. Makar responded, 'It's not micromanagement, it's about keeping your finger on the pulse.'

Some commanders voiced support in recent days, saying that General Syrskyi was the only commander with the breadth of experience in extraordinary operations around the whole country.

Pakistanis long for a deal to end the war in Iran

KARACHI, PAKISTAN

Business owners getting impatient for chance to trade along shared border

BY ELLAN FELTZER

Pakistan's business owners are desperate for peace.

Gholam Mustafa, a manga-exporter, made a massacre of the plump that to the Pakistan East is the most recent in Asia in the United States and Iran signed a mass-fire agreement, brokered by Pakistan, last month.

The first time that collapsed, the trucks have turned back, and Mr. Mustafa's managers are retiring. 'We're sending our products, and we don't know whether they'll come or get stopped,' Mr. Mustafa said.

I spoke to him on a recent morning in his office as he worked on China from his home. He was a member of the United States that never reached their Iranian buyers. For him and other business owners in Karachi — Pakistan's largest city and its commercial hub — the economic status of an end to the War in Iran are high. Peace would mean not just lower fuel prices but also a chance to finally advantage of the huge trading partner right across the 340-mile (300-kilometer) border.

The Pakistani economy is struggling and heavily reliant on the Indian states like China and Saudi Arabia, a nation of 350 million people. Pakistan has four neighbors but doesn't formally trade with two of them, India and Afghanistan.

Top, traders negotiating toads the main fruit and vegetable market in Karachi, Pakistan, last week.

Right, considers at the Karachi price.

man, because of ongoing tensions. Investments from the third one, China, are down nearly 30 percent this year.

Traders and entrepreneurs had pinned their hopes on better relations with the North, Iran.

'The situation is very urgent for Pakistan,' said Kaiser Bengali, an economist based in Karachi. 'We subscribe to loans to pay back aid loans. Any relief from the war is not too long.'

Both government lines pledged to increase trade. This week, Iran's interior minister, Eskandar Mubarak, led a delegation to Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, that included the financial sector under pressure, the head of the national oil company and top finance officials in transportation, agriculture and urban development.

But many among Karachi's powerful and influential industrialists are feeling disillusionment and alarm.

Nassim Dadabihay, whose business specializes in construction materials and energy, briefly considered a city to Iran for construction deals during the cease-fire. Ms. Dadabihay said the stand at the time was, 'Business will be back, maritime and ranchers, environment and everything.'

'It is solid in a skils of our way,' she added. 'Have Iran's handling every return.' Like many Pakistanis, Ms. Dadabihay praised the country's government and military leadership for their efforts. But she said the United States and Iran should sit down for talks again. 'The big story need to settle things down fast,' she said.

Trump loosens nuclear standards for Saudi Arabia

DAVID REAL, PHOENIX

History is blurred with examples of countries that pledged to deny the roles, and surrogationally raced for a bomb.

Iran's first research reactor was provided by the United States to the chief of Iran — technology that fell into the hands of the multiple who took over the country in 1975. India's first nuclear test were promotion from a heavy water reactor that had been a gift from the Canadian government in the 1950s. Pakistan was to contribute foreign from a European company that hired A.I.J. Khan, now celebrated in the father of the Palestinian bomb. Taiwan and South Korea, stalwart American allies, had secret health programs of their own and American intelligence agencies discovered them and touched the efforts.

The two research research available the American relationship with Saudi Arabia drew days. He was a major that if the United States does not provide the country with its best reasons and nuclear technology, because it was still, in a time when tensions have flared with the Saudi — for a while (Crown House Mohammed bin Salman prohibited the United States from launching attacks on Iran from U.S. loans to Saudi Arabia — anything that draws the Saudiis despite into the American technology stack matter across to the White House).

'Rust quarred, these agreements upbraided the impact on the security and nonproliferation,' Chris Wright, the U.S. secretary of energy and the U.S. secretary of the industry, said, 'while relying on the world's best nuclear technology and scientists, designed right here in the United States.'

Mr. Wright signed the deal with the Saudi minister of energy, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, but the White House did not immediately release the test — or the two secret letters accompanying it, a lot of these will now go to Capital Hill for congressional review. But as a practical matter, Congress would have to assemble a veto-proof majority to override Mr. Trump's initiative.

It is a process that has been used many times under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, a key element of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 'Stones for Peace' program. The idea was to spread nuclear energy, with safeguards to assure that fuel is not diverted to bomb projects.

'I find this decision incredibly shovingly. It appears to provide a pathway to a country that really might want to jeopardize.'

But Saudi Arabia poses a particular kind of problem. It is a country that is racing to feed its profession-based past and eager to embrace nuclear energy to build data centers and power a future driven by artificial intelligence, yet fearful of what might happen if the Iranians are the hands.

Saudi officials have made no secret of their determination to keep pace with Telivars' opponent efforts to build a nuclear weapon, and to match them if they do. In 2018, Prince Mohammed pledged that his kingdom would try to develop an acquire nuclear weapon if it was continued to work toward a bomb — despite the fact that Saudi Arabia signed on to

the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 1988, after delaying for 10 years. Other Saudi officials have issued similar warnings to recent years, as talked about the need for Saudi Arabia to become a 'threshold' nuclear state, a few screw driver turns away from building its own weapon.

'I find this decision incredibly shovingly,' said James M. Acton, a nuclear analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a think tank. 'It appears to provide a pathway to a country that really might want to jeopardize. You cannot exclude the possibility that Saudi Arabia would undermine this facility and use it made a bomb.'

It is hardly a new problem. President George W. Bush negotiated a similar deal with the United Arab Emirates. It claimed by President Barack Obama in 2005, whose terms were so restrictive and it became known as the gold standard of nuclear agreements. In return for the technology, the Emirates signed to forge producing nuclear fuel brewer, and it signed the 'Additional Pressure', as the International Atomic Energy Agency calls an agreement allowing its relative association. The Emirates now has four civilian nuclear reactors, both largely with the highest South Korea, and there is little worry that the country is interested in anything other than electricity production.

When Saudi Korea went down the same path, the United States won a 10-year moratorium on a roaring in an area that, but when President Lee Jae Byeong came to Washington into last year, he got an agreement from Mr. Trump to lift the warrants. It appears that the restrictions are still in place for now.

A nuclear plant in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The country's deal with the United States on nuclear energy became known as the gold standard of such agreements.

'It was clear Saudi Arabia was going to be different than the Emirates,' said Robert Einhorn, a nuclear expert at the Washington Institution in Washington who negotiated many of the toughest nuclear agreements of the past few decades on a U.S. State Department official. 'They felt the imposition were just too intrusive and they weren't going to see anyone entertained forever.'

While the islands agreed to a two-year study of whether it was economically feasible to produce their own nuclear fuel, they were determined to pursue an enrichment capability, even if they had to wait awhile.

Under the terms of the Saudi deal are

made public, other nations may well insist on the same treatment. The United Arab Emirates has a proviso in its accord that allows it to demand 'consultations' with the United States if a neighboring country gets a better deal.

Heather Williams, director of the Project on Nuclear Power at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington think tank, said the Saudi accord does more pressure on the Trump administration to decisively eliminate Iran's ability to build an atomic bomb.

'Preventing, a Saudi nuclear weapon now means getting a concrete and hard-hitting resolution on things like impen-

tions, what to do with the strength and the status of nuclear sites, including Pickens Mountain,' she said, referring to a complex of deep tunnels in Iran thought to further attack, thanks to the United States, which is not so far. Dr. Williams added, would raise the risk of a proliferation cascade in which many nations might react for the ability to make a bomb.

The Saudi push for a nuclear accord with Washington, she added, echoes 'a hedging strategy we are seeing with other allies and partners. Their neighborhoods are increasingly dangerous,' in many cases because their oil generator of security, the United States, 'isn't so reliable as it must was.' The result is that they were alternative ideas and arrangements to bolster their security.

Dr. Williams said the Saudi accord can be seen as a result for the United States, 'because it maintains U.S. partnerships in the region. There is no competing for them.' The problem, she added, is that it turns out weak.

But in the country that the world is on the copy of a new nuclear breakout, the Saudi deal is a step toward that danger.

'There's no happy ending if Saudi Arabia gets within one million or months of making a bomb,' said Henry D. Suleiman, a nuclear policy official in the U.S. Defense Department from 1969 to 1983 who now heads the Nonproliferation Bill the United States to Washington's trial of the U.S. nuclear war.

Mr. Trump's assertion, however, was a significant step toward the war in Iran's efforts to protect the U.S. and to protect the U.S. in the United States.

'I'm not saying that I can't do it.'

Pakistani business owners dealing with Iran say U.S. salesmen have hampered their quest to expand trade.

Decades ago, Khalid Hamid Jair's further stated that the United States has a 2000-2005, 2010-2015, 2016-2021, 2022-2027, 2028-2033, 2034-2039, 2040-2045, 2046-2051, 2052-2057, 2058-2063, 2064-2069, 2069-2074, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079, 2074-2079

Officially, Pakistan and Iran trade is about $3 billion — much less than the EU's dollar to govern the Pakistani's period to the United States last year.

But Muhammad Behan Raml, the president of the United States of Commerce and Industry, said that when Iranian business owners visit the chamber, the two sides struggle to discuss anything concerns because of sanctions.

'When looking away the 'other State, they get upended,' said Adhaddar Khan Mandehwal, who's with a major Pakistani trade organization.

Because of sanctions, business conducted with Iran often involves smuggles, but even that trade appears to be drying up.

It on her sanctions, readers say, Pakistan could continue to supply of maize, rice, textiles, pharmaceutical products and surgical equipment to Iran. Iran could supply fuel and gas much more cheaply to Pakistan than Saudi Arabia and other countries in the U.S.

Instead, for most trade, Pakistan and Iran must rely on harter, third-party maize, fine parts in the United Arab Emirates, and smuggling ever land or by sea, which is widespread. There is no official data on the volume of informal trade, but it is estimated to represent billions of dollars.

WATCHING AND WATCHS

Formulating trade by lifting sanctions, business owners say, would eliminate the expense until the network is paying smugglers, and they would be able to sell a wider variety of Iranian consumer products, from watermelon to whipped cream or sweets.

Today, even the trade in smuggled goods appears to be drying up.

One morning last week, I wondered the story of a number in Karachi that once only a wide variety of Iranian owners, Only a handful were available. Iranian-made copies of Sackers bars, called Names, and Over coolers, called Bishops.

Inspired of smuggled all Iran been cut by half as well, said Tariq Hasan, the U.S. chairman of Pakistan's main petroleum lobbying group.

A gas planter project to link the two countries has also stalled because of U.S. sanctions. The Iran completed sanctions on the Pakistani band's barrel to perform.

Along with the chance to legalize and increase impacts of Iranian oil, analysts and business owners say the big price for Pakistan would be a result to be involved in the pressure reconstruction of Iran.

Ms. Dadabihay, the construction executive, stated that Pakistan had the workers and the construction materials Iran would need.

'We are playing watch and wait, because if the Indian industry entrepreneurs don't venture out,' she said.

U.S. grants for teen pregnancy programs to

New government criteria to stress abstinence and focus on starting families

BY JIM HOFFMAN

A few weeks ago, Bena Dixon, the head of Fort Forward, a South Carolina nonprofit group that offers adolescent health and sex education classes, got a letter from the Trump administration with a making news.

The government was terminating the organization's $1.6 million grant from a federal program to reduce teen pregnancies, effective immediately.

The administration's priorities, a lead, do not include the state's first encouraged, earmarked or promotes sexual activity for minors.

The news is the latest in a report that began in the 1961 Trump administration to defend or overhaul the 16-year-old, $199 million initiative. Courts blacked the effort in 2018, but this time the administration, which abruptly canceled $1 of the program's 67 grants last month, has been taking steps to be on former legal ground.

The letter from the assistant secretary for health accused Dan Forward of including lessons with advice on making smokes are more pleasurable and documents that normalize "out of pornography". A video, it said, contained a "semantic of adolescents engaging in sexual activity."

"That information was just not true," Dr. Dixon said. The organization had never used the lessons specified, but said. The video "is about one teen telling another that she had had sex, and her friend responding. That's a big no-so!"

In interviews, other directors also said that the government had dissolved their content. They pointed out that the grant had required the program to be given from a federally approved tax above by research to be age-appropriate and effective.

Healthy Futures of Texas, a nonprofit group that serves managers in the Dallas Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley, was renewal of its grant less than a year ago, following a rigorous federal review of its material.

"Many funds came materials are being used as the reason for termination, with no approval from to address those concerns," said Ginger McIlmacy, the organization's chief executive, "for several struggling a little bit to understand."

Now dozens of grant holders fear an existential dilemma, as they wrestle with whether to submit applications that this week for the next round of grants, under the administration's new rules.

The new criteria say that grant recipients must teach abstinence as the only means to prevent teen pregnancy. Courses must stress the importance of marriage and precessation and instruct young people how to safeguard their ability. They make scant reference to preventing sexually transmitted infections and virtually new to lesbian, gay and transgender sexuality.

The Department of Health and Human Services declined to comment on the new requirements in the litigation. But these conditions mirror blueprints laid out in Project 2021 as well as in other position papers by the Heritage Foundation, which argue that teen pregnancy prevention programs falsely presume total adolescents are in inevitable and also undermine parental authority.

Last week, three programs that list funding and a nonprofit organization that works with them filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Department of Health and Human Services and its secretary, Robert F. Kennedy. In The programs seek to block the termination and the new requirements that they tap create an ideologically based framework that reduces the intent of the federally mandated rule.

"Congress plainly did not intend H.R.S.'s focus on teaching young women strategies to become pregnant in a pregnancy prevention program," wrote Drennenius, Forward, a legal advocacy inspector of the program.

The five-year project created by the Teen Pregnancy Prevention grants had supported topics like education, including consent, decision-making and healthy relationships, adjusted for age as well as a local community's values and culture. Location ranged from

The American sewage birthrate has been plummeting steadily for over two decades. Resources in any explanation are varied, but schools increased trust access to them. Using acting birth control, abortion pills and even smartphones.

Public health scholars and bipartisan congressional committees have also attended to the influence of the federal prevention programs on teen behavior, including delayed sexual initiation.

Yet at a time when the overall American birthrate is increasing, a trend de-cried by many conservatives and others, the new. Refuge group and education requires programs to share from a curriculum known as "women with avoidance," which connects abstinence during the message prior to maturity and eradicate for marriage and parenthood.

Body literacy courses for boys should include strategies for managing "spontaneous arousal to ways that support self-regulation, health and future fertility." And they should address "how to protect or seriously stimulated arousal may affect sexual development and behavior over time."

Paul Forward's federal grant covered 89 percent of its pregnancy prevention project. Since receiving the termination letter, Dr. Dixon had to lay off half her staff.

At Sherman, West, Bridgewater, a corner that provides adolescent reproductive health care and education, just lost its $1 million federal pregnancy prevention grant. In commenter, it ruined school nurses and health staff on front across the main and established a corps of teen educators.

Stephanie McIlmwell, Bridgewater's executive director, has two teenagers. "I want my time to try drug drugs to be school, where they're all getting accurate information together."

Since the federal grants in 2016, 2021, teen birthrates in South Carolina have dropped 29 percent. Yet as of 2024, when the latest federal data was completed, the state will control at No. 11 nationwide in two births. Dr. Dixon, the researcher program director, has decided to adjust to the new criteria, the funding is too crucial. Paul Forward will turn in to application this week.

Shadow of assassination looms over a divided campus

OREN, LYNN

BY ROBERT HEAVEN

Sage Lloyd will sometimes sit by herself between543ers at Utah Valley University and pray in the courtyard where she saw Charlie Kirk painted down last September. Occasionally strangers will walk over and, taking note of her great about Mr. Kirk, offer to join her in prayer.

Just as often, they will want to argue with her.

"They'll say, 'There were two shots, not one,' so they'll want to debate what direction the shot came from," Ms. Lloyd, 23, said in an interview. "I'll try to explain what I saw with my own eyes, and they'll tell her I'm wrong. I just got to a yawn when I thought engaging."

This fall, Ms. Lloyd will become the university's chapter president of Turning Point USA, the conservative organization Mr. Kirk founded. She will replace Caleb Chilcott, 31, a senior who helped persuade Mr. Kirk to come to the Oven, Utah, campus on Sept. 25 he what would be his last debate with students.

Over the past year, Mr. Chilcott, Ms. Lloyd and other Turning Point members at the university have made their way through an interview with him. After watching their leader die of an assassin's bullet at their campus at an event they helped organize, the chapter leaders have struggled to carry. Mr. Kirk's first time was to be a student, but it was more while managing their own psychic trauma.

They have promised to enjoy a trial for Mr. Kirk's accused killer, Tyler Robinson, after a preliminary hearing in Provo, Utah, earlier this month concluded with his presiding judge agreeing to help further arguments at September. They have also provided university officials to make good on their pledge to every centennial in the courtyard. While acknowledging that a statue of Mr. Kirk was presented under his campus, the Turning Point chapter leaders are pressing for a tribute that explicitly comes to the work.

"I shouldn't just be about unity," said Sophie Cricinfo, 35 who was late at the event on Sept. 24 and is now the chapter's vice president. "Every opinion, it's a

At Utah Valley University, a debate has raged over whether to communicate Charlie Kirk. On opposing sides are LorisDana Colby, left, a progressive activist, and, right, members of the Turning Point USA chapter, Dean left, Caleb Chilcott, Sage Lloyd and Sophie Cricinfo.

disease site. And Charlie deserve to be honored."

Not every Utah Valley student agrees. "He don't want a hairdrie, big, used man to haird our campus," said LorisDana Colby, a 20-year-old progressive activist.

"IT WAS SO ELECTRIC"

Page Adams, a recently retired field representative for Turning Point, called Mr. Chilcott — a native Australian and, like more than half of Utah Valley's student body, a number of his Churched Jesus Christ of Letter-day Saints — "strong and go back started before I've ever had."

Every week from the time he became president in 2022, Mr. Chilcott was unable to the hallway of the university's liberal arts building, where he distributed conservative literature while attempting to engage with fellow ma-

dians, home of three hundred with Mr. Chilcott about abortion or immigration. Others made referrals to an area of public, him a tourist.

Still, he organized movie nights and press parties, where 15 students singled show up. On occasion, Mr. Chilcott managed to have a high-profile speaker to the university, such as the former semester and anti-transgender activist Billy Clinton, who came in October 2016.

Upprentment in Mr. Chilcott's ambitions was to bring Mr. Kirk to the campus. Finally, after three years of filing requests every semester with Turning Point, his wishes were granted. On Sept. 17, 2016, the group announced Mr. Kirk's "American Comeback" debate tour of college campuses. The first stop would be to act by two weeks later, at Utah Valley.

On the morning of Sept. 30, Mr. Chilcott and Ms. Adams overuse preparations. The courtyard fountains were

turned off, and the canal screens are tested. Boasts of MAGA caps were assembled near the tent where Mr. Kirk would sit and field questions. The 2,100 attendees, far more than Utah Valley's 20-hole had projected, were gadders to peritons along the courtyard's grassy steps. Six campus police officers patrolled the throng.

Mr. Kirk, 31, arrived at about noon. He gated approximately at the swelling audience while walking with a security team toward the courtyard and said, according to one of his staff members, "Today's going to be a great day."

Mr. Chilcott and Mr. Kirk exchanged a brief growing behind the tent. Then Mr. Chilcott stopped up to the courtyard microphone, introduced himself as Turning Point's campus president and urged the crowd to welcome Mr. Kirk. Mr. Kirk and Mr. Chilcott proceeded to fling MAGA caps into the crowd.

Ms. Lloyd was standing in front of the stage at the campus. She was the financial, "U.S.A.' U.S.A.'" she turned her hands back home in fact. Antoons to convey her ova interest: "It was so electric to be out-rounded by people who were liberally in the student."

At 12:25 p.m., just after a student chattenged Mr. Kirk's assertion about the propensity of transgender people to create a campus, a shot was fired. Ms. Cricinfo watched Mr. Kirk fall out of his chair just a few feet in front of her. She left a reaction, she said, was, "Is this a left about gun violence? Then I saw the blood coming out of his neck."

The campus was closed down for a week. Mr. Chilcott spent the first day volunteered at home with his wife. Breakout filled that the gunman, who was still at large, might be targeting other Turning Point officials. Ms. Lloyd could not sleep or even pray because of the image of Mr. Kirk that returned when she closed her eyes.

The atmosphere growing the Turning Point students when classes resumed on Sept. 17 were students with stated emotions. "I had some people who used to scream at us or flip us off say, 'I'm so sorry what happened,' recalled Mr. Chilcott. Other classmates, Ms. Lloyd said, 'were making jokes about it, laughing about it, smoking what happened? Ms. Cricinfo remembered one of her teachers offering a number reflection on Mr. Kirk's assassination — a surprise, she said, after his early interest has ridiculed the Turning Point leader to class as the meeting of the shooting."

The Turning Point table most returned to its usual weekly spot in the liberal arts counties. Supportive of Mr. Kirk showed up to commiserate. By the end of the year, the chapter's previous membership of roughly 100 had tripled, and its Instagram audience had jumped from 1,000 to 12,000 followers.

NEW GROUPS ON THE LEFT

By early 2026, same progressions on campus because he told that sympathy for Turning Point would obscure Mr. Kirk's divisive rhetoric. "This is a guy who said (she of harmful things about us," Mr. Mc Colby, who is guy. Two are groups on the left, the Students for a Democratic Society and the Civil Dis-

obedience Club, materialized on campus and began to set up other near Turning Point. Hoping to make peace with them, Mr. Colby set killed up to the U.S.A. cable one afternoon.

"None of us wanted to talk with him," said Colby. "I was a lot of the number of the university's S.D.S. chapter. 'It was very awkward.'"

In late March, the university's president at the time, and at T. Trudeau, announced that Sharon McMahan, a best-selling author of inspirational emfiction, would deliver the commencement of the school's school. "I was a student who had lamented Mr. Kirk's death in a Facebook video post the day of his assassination but, two days later, she said in part, "It's important to remember that the incredible tragedy of a public assassination does not come the harm many experienced lives his world is now becoming almost his followers today."

Ms. Lloyd was angry. "They could have picked anybody from an entire establishment of speakers and we probably would have been OK with it," she said. "But for those of us still grieving Charlie's death, selecting her was just bad taste."

After a wretching pressure campaign, Ms. Trudeau withdrew Ms. Talbert's speech from the school's school to courtly concerns. The graduation exercises continued without a humoral communication speaker.

"We ended up looking like the bad news. We were not going to get accused of participating in court's arrest and going against the very things Charlie achieved."

On a hot July afternoon, Mr. Chilcott stood in the empty courtyard of Utah Valley University. The grassy area where Mr. Kirk left bleeding to the ground that both precludes OK to what had been. Mr. Kirk's stage left, a new flagpole has been erected, a committee of state and civil officials has continued to deliberate error what sort of need was found he had.

"My main concern has been that the voices for commemorating Charlie will start to be a new, new, New, State, state, and the voices from the Students for a Democratic Society and the Civil Disobedience Club, he added, 'will be the only news left.'"

Business

A.I. hopes prop up both stocks and economy

Many investors worry about a bubble, but few are running for safety

BY BEN CASIEL DAVI AND JOE REUNSSON

There is another of the financial world: The stock market is not the economy.

Except that, right now, maybe it is. Major U.S. stock indexes have set record after record in recent years, but only a percentage of the biggest loss among investors for anything concerned in the global intelligence. The total value of the U.S. stock market is more than doubled over the past decade to over 575 trillion, roughly over and a half times the annual output of the entire U.S. economy, both in recent rates.

Backs of that value are the most complex, less on future profits that may or may not materialize in the years ahead. But the boom is supporting real economic activity today, pumping trillions of dollars of information into semiconductor factories, data centers, power plants and transmissions lines, and the wealth it is creating is helping to drive consumer spending, particularly among affluent Americans, whose appreciating stock problems make them more willing to think out for luxury vacations, privacy electronics and inside of high-end restaurants.

That spending and investment have helped carry the U.S. economy through a transducer period of inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty. But it also creates a vulnerability: if consumer confidence in A.I. killers, the economic activity built atop it could come crushing down. Bank of America's monthly global fund-manager survey for July reported a bursting of the A.I. bubble in the key role in financial markets. It's also now the key role in the economy.

The thing that has been holding everything up in the A.I. story,' said Tecton Oak, the chief economist at Apollo Global Management.

A.I. market statistics are more roughly half of the rise in the S&P 500 this year, said Adam Thompson, the chief technical strategist for the A.I. market, said that growth in the economy is also increasingly dependent on A.I. infrastructure spending.

'It's becoming one big A.I. trade,' he said.

'Most markets have waned in recent weeks in a sign of investor worry over the dependence on one sector's ability to continue outperforming the A.I. market,' said Tecton Oak, the science of investment' following during the A.I. run-up. Several times over the past 5 years, most of the market is now simply in response to a piece of bad news, only to exhaust within days. Even

many analysts who believe that an A.I. bubble is still inflating, are reluctant to predict that this is the moment it goes.

Declines in stock prices, even drastic ones, don't necessarily have much impact beyond the world of finance —

hence the adage about the market not being the economy. (by Mark Moody) In 1987, the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 20 percent, still the record for a one-day decline. Yet broader measures like the unemployment

rates and gross domestic product barely exhibited.

What could make this time different is the sheer scale of the stock market's economic research has found that for every $500 investors gain in their stock part-

ibles, they spend about $2 more on stocks and services, a phenomenon known as the wealth effect.

The wealth effect also operates in revenue. When stock prices fall, investors become less willing to spend, in the present valuation, a 30 percent decline in the stock market could lead to a nearly $100 billion pullback in consumer spending. That could be enough to set off a recession on its own, or at least come close.

'Those when the market seems like a tri highest are times when that wealth is not a major factor,' said Gabriel Choderson-Beach, an economist at Harvard University in Massachusetts with the student of the wealth effect.

'The other distinguished factor of the current market is how concentrated it is in a handful of companies,' the Magellan and Geese group of companies of Beta, a former vice president, John Wood, Polda and Microsoft account for roughly a quarter of the value of all publicly listed stocks in the United States.

Because so much real-world activity is also being driven by the A.I. boom, a number by one of the big A.I. companies could have much larger economic ripples.

'Times when the market seems like a tri highest are times when that wealth effect can have the biggest loss.'

'It would spill out in the rest of the economy,' said Roger Alwyn Dine, the chief economist for the Americas for Vergaeren.

Mr. Alwyn Dine and other economists described one scenario for how that could happen. If companies find that their A.I. investments aren't paying off as quickly as they hoped, they might produce their spending, forcing the A.I. labs and their suppliers to trim their growth projections. Such a disagreement could incite a market sub-od, which would result in more difficult or difficult investment. The companies in more the capital they need is fund the A.I. build out.

That, in turn, could lead companies to delay or cancel plans to build data centers, power plants and related infrastructure, giving way to layoffs in the construction industry. And at the same time, the drop in the market would push wealthy consumers to pass their spending, leading to wider job losses and, ultimately, successes.

'The consumer spending growth is in addition to the growth in, but it is such a large portion of the economy,' said Kristina Slesper, the chief global economist for the A.I. market. But there is being driven by high-income consumers who are tied to the fortunes

of the stock market, and A.I. being such a big part of that.'

A lot in these fortunes is not inevitable. Many of the biggest A.I. players have raised vast sums of capital, which could allow them to keep spending, even if new sources of cash-in-up. And companies won't necessarily stop using and paying for A.I. trade just because the market enthusiasm for them does.

A bursting of the A.I. bubble could also free up cash for other investments that have struggled to attract capital in recent years. That is, at least in part, what happened in the 2000s, when the end of the day one boosts net investors to redeploy cash to business and other sectors. The economy did experience a recession in 2001, but it was hard and relatively mild.

One factor that helped insulate the economy in 2002, however, was that the U.S. Federal Reserve can protect most aggressively, which helped restate the crisis mostly in the 2010s to occur. This time aroused, inflation has been elevated for five years, which might leave policymakers more reluctant to cut rates.

'Honorary policy has a huge role in determining whether a decline in investment demand in one sector spreads more broadly or not,' Mr. Choderson-Beach said. 'The fact that monetary policy is a little bit more entertained 'wages in on the way.'

It could be your future policymakers are forced to shut with such a scenario. Economists are notoriously bad at identifying hobbies, and even worse or predicting when they pay. And, for example, the former Pola State party, warned in the risks of 'stratified exuberance' in the markets in 1996. The day-care bubble didn't burst for over three years more.

'I am of the view that it is very hard to predict recessions or recession timing,' Mr. Choderson-Beach said.

But he and many other economists think the risks of a market-induced recession are real and growing. That is partly because investors are betting on such spectacular growth from the A.I. companies that even a fairly mild disagreement is a major factor. The fall is full of expectations, a project that takes longer to pay off than initially assumed — it could have been to re-evaluate their assumptions and produce a steep drop in the markets.

'Gravemore are told, well, actually, instead of five to seven years, it's going to be 25 or 29 years to pay off, that's a very big difference,' said Ryan Cummings, the chief of staff for the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, who recently published an article warning about the risks of the A.I. market.

'Right now, the hurdle of proof is on the deepest,' he added. 'Once you have to be able to change your position in the A.I. market, then the budget starts to be on the upturn.'

Border city's future hinges on Trump's trade moves

LAREDO, TEXAS

Laredo's economy benefits from international tariffs, but that may soon change

BY ANA DRAMSON

Tractor-traders rumble through the name of the World Trade Bridge, punctuated by the appeals of air brakes and growth of engines. Much of the border, a line of trucks stretches back into Mexico, extending far more than a mile at the busiest times.

President Trump's tariff, have enlarged America's trading relationship with the world, impacts from countries like China have steadily fallen as tariffs went into effect. As a result, manufacturers have sought low-cost factories closer to home, providing a boost in trade between the United States and Mexico.

Laredo, Texas, has been a winner from the shift, a border city on the Rio Grande, it directly connects the factories surrounding Monterrey, Mexico, about 100 miles (250 kilometers) in which it is involved in the United States, and most of the U.S. United States, and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S. and other U.S.

That took is now in question as Mr. Trump's law, and he has the North American trade agreement that has elicited together the economics of Mexico, Canada and the United States for more than three decades. In negotiations in Mexico City this week, U.S. officials are pushing for significant revisions to the trade that the principal signed during his first term — the United States Mexico Canada agreement — which replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. Under those doubt, goods have been allotted for care to become the countries with free, acting as they follow the rules of the past.

Mr. Trump's international claims slightly disruptive approach to North American trade. He has threatened to scrap U.S.M.C.A. altogether unless the United States gets a better look, a disastrous

scenario for the businesses that depend on it. On July 1, he declined to renew the agreement, causing a 10-year clock for its expiration.

And on Monday, Mr. Trump signed orders to impose a 50 percent tariff, starting next month, on Canadian goods ranging from plywood and paper treatment and backup stocks, a more sense specialized way an effort to keep Canada in the negotiating field.

Negotiations with Mexico have been intensified, but U.S. officials say they want to see big changes in the relationship. Since U.S.M.C.A. was signed in 2018, the U.S. trade deficit in goods with Mexico has more than doubled, irking Mr. Trump. U.S. officials want their Mexican counterpart to adopt changes in the past that would require manufacturing more products in the United States and give U.S. companies greater access to the Mexican market. Mr. Trump has got tariffs on some goods from Mexico, including steel, copper and monomers, but most U.S.M.C.A. goods continue to come into the United States itself free.

Laredo is still betting on the draft's survival. It is devoting in new water houses and the expansion of the World Trade Bridge and other border crossings. Impacts of computers, cars, cell phones, tractors and air-conditioners move through the past from Mexico, and car parts, diesel engines, plastics, refined copper and batteries are sent back on part of the cross-border trade that has become one in a range of industries, including automobiles.

Laredo has edged on Chicago O'Hare International Airport, how NARA John F. Kennedy International Airport and the Port of Los Angeles to become the country's biggest port by dollar value this year.

'Hopefully if it keep rolling and everything will keep flowing through,' said Don Booth, 36, as he walked through a vast warehouse for example, north of the border. Glass fans stirred the lot up of the warehouse, which Samuel roughly 6,000 miles off road vehicles manufacture into Monterrey, Mexico, by Polaris, a Mexican market company.

Tractor-traders wanted at leading bays surrounding the factory to carry the Mexican-made vehicles to distributors across the United States. Other

trucks would be filled with U.S.-made crumbs, motors, tires and shocks, and sent eastbound to hold the company's Monterrey plant.

Mr. Booth said that he had seen business slow as Mr. Trump issued tariff

threats and companies tried to regroup. He said he was 'wary' about the effect of tariffs, but overall business was flowing well. 'Mexico is a good partner,' he added.

Supporters of the North American

trade had argue that Mexican imports are still beneficial for the United States. In addition to supplying U.S. consumers with the image and potential producers they're used in Mexico is also the United States' largest export market at the European Union. Many goods manufactured in Mexican factories are made with cotton, plastics and petroleum that are produced by American workers.

Other supporters of the past argue that having access to low-cost production in Mexico helps make U.S. companies more competitive against rivals from Asia or Europe.

But the trade deal also has plenty of critics, who say that lower wages in Mexican factories continue to undercut U.S. manufacturing jobs.

As a white paper published last month, the United Automobile Workers union called U.S.M.C.A. and its production, NAFTA, is 'new trade channel.' The union proposed adding a new new trade manufacturing wage for North America, and a requirement for companies to manufacture cars in the United States if they want to sell them there.

'If these standards are not met, the United States should withdraw from the U.S.M.C.A.'s, the union said.

To some, it seems curious that Mr. Trump is criticizing the deal he himself signed. At the time, he called it a 'waste ad victory' that would end 'the NAFTA nightmare.'

Though U.S.M.C.A. kept much of the money, the NAFTA failed. A dire ominous revision intended to increase U.S. manufacturing. U.S.M.C.A. was signed in 2008, and the U.S. trade deficit in goods was 2008, and the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, while simultaneously encouraging a return of manufacturing to North America.

But critics argue that these charges were not fully realized. The U.A. would find automakers simply ignored some of the more complicated rules, but the requirement to have workers running at least 30s on base trade order of a car's content, instead, some companies chose to sidestep the U.S.M.C.A. rules by simply paying a tariff to make them to depart cars. In Mexico, corrupt union maintained control, and labor reforms were only partial. the U.A.W. says.

Others argue imports from Mexico

have banned in part because of Mr. Trump's new actions. In his first term, the tariffs the president imposed on China — the world's biggest manufacturer — sent companies starting to other locations with cheap labor to find they could continue to supply U.S. companies to the United States. In 2025, Mexico surpassed China as the top concern of U.S. imports.

This time around, U.S. officials have proposed raising U.S.M.C.A. a requirement for how much of a car must be made in North America in 85 percent from 75 percent. They have also suggested that the U.S. trade deficit in the context to come from the United States. U.S. officials have proposed new content requirements for other products, such as electronic. They are also pressing Mexican officials to do more to block Chinese goods from coming through Mexico into the United States. In this year, Mexico began a substantial renewal of its content system to lower truck the components and new materials in experts in the United States.

About 40 percent of U.S. Mexico trade pauses through Laredo. That trade is now in question as negotiations continue.

In an interview with The New York Times last month, chairman Gwen, the U.S. trade representative, said officials had been discussing new ways of origin for other industries, including electronics. Mr. Gwen said the United States and Mexico were exploring whether they could reduce the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, while simultaneously encouraging a return of manufacturing to North America.

Our heart ways we can adapt the rules of origins to make it more rewarding to have more of your electronic supply chain in the United States and Mexico's 'to added.

The U.S. trade deficit has been completed that these requirements are too common, and will simply encourage more than 40 percent of North America, Gwen imported from Japan and South Korea, for example, have only a 15 percent tariff when coming into the LARDOS. PAGE 4

Bonanza for Donald Trump Jr.'s firm

President's son cashes in openly on administration policies, with no apology

BY MAUREEN FARRELL

In the Republican National Convention was wrapping up in July 2024, Republican heavyweight, crowded into a roaring bar with views of the Milwaukee skyline. It's one of such, Donald Trump Jr. leads a brother for a man in a black T-shirt. Mayon Coplan, the 30-year-old founder of Polymarket, the prediction maker betting site.

The president's son said Mr. Coplan he was impressed with Polymarket and how he results, not the path, reflected what he was hearing from voters about his father's prospects of returning to office. That roaring meeting was the start of a lucrative relationship, showing how Donald Trump Jr. and his business partner Donald Malik is second in a company whose duration would be affected by President Trump's policies — a scenario that has played out repeatedly as their investment firm, 1769 Capital, has grown.

In the case of Polymarket, the government had learned it from taking monetary support from U.S. residents, but last year a federal regulation granted it a operating license in the United States. Worth $300 million when 1769 invested, the platform is now valued at $10 billion. 'He just took part of the approach that we did, which is this. Work all you guys,' Donald Trump Jr. said of Mr. Coplan and of his own critic is in an interview with The New York Times about investments he has worked on during his father's second term.

During back to the five Trump administration, members of the Trump family have faced criticism for mining business with politics. But what sets apart the input moves by Donald Trump Jr. is how he and Mr. Malik, through 1769 Capital, are coming in on the policies of the current administration openly and without apology.

Many of the companies that 1769 has invested in these large government contracts, while others, like Polymarket, have benefited directly from new Trump policies or reoffends of existing laws. The firm bought claims in some of the most covered private companies before many went public, including SpaceX, Ambeil's Corebans and Reflection AI, after by leveraging their political and business connections to secure a stake in drug banks the companies' spies.

Just two years ago, 1769 managed a few hundred million dollars. It now revenues more than $1 billion. Its main investment fund generated returns of roughly $40 percent as of June 2024, according to a person familiar with the firm's performance. While still early in its investment cycle, these returns eclipse the average returns of about 15 percent from venture capital firms invested in 2022, according to Pritcheok, a provider of financial data.

Angela Lee, a veteran capital producer at Columbia Business School in New York, said she had never seen a firm started by five-time fund managers since so much more. 'We may not try it's superintended,' she said. Her plausible explanation for the firm's rapid success, she said. 'People are paying for possibility to power.'

Mr. Trump and Mr. Malik, a former Democrat and banker, openly embrace their connections to President Trump's founder city of donors, influential supporters and high-ranking officials, but they scuff at questions of whether any of their success comes from direct access to the president.

As a private citizen, the president's son said, he is free to invest however he wants and is doing nothing illegal. He said he talks with 'the father only 'every few weeks,' never discusses business with him and holds 'we policy position and no role within the administration whatsoever.' Mr. Malik frequently mentions that he has never even 'set back the White House.'

In interviews, executives at companies that 1769 is invested in said they had never seen the firm seek special treatment from the administration, but said they viewed being involved with 1769 as a way to get close to the Trump orbit.

Mr. Malik said that both he and Mr.

Trump knew the people involved in the administration's 'no government' and that this helped from position their investment strategies to benefit from White House policies.

Their approach is the first part of Mr. Trump's brother-in-law, David Kushner, who had been involved in early peace negotiations with Iran while his private investment firm was seeking to raise funds from U.S. dollars in the Middle East. (His firm later said it would not seek additional money from allies while Mr. Kushner was volunteering for the administration.)

Jessica Tillyman, the associate dean for government procurement law studies at George Washington University, Technical Law in Washington, said that it are few actual rules for family members of the president, though many of them have generally been involved in the appearance of a single on-the-Poal Office. (Shawin Ruble's overseas business dealing were a recent reception.)

'A lot of this is based on success,' she said. 'The company's power is that when there's an interest in kind of respecting the norms and from an option perspective, that is troubling.'

FORMER DEMOCRAT TRUMP

Mr. Trump and Mr. Malik first met at a barbecue in the livingroom, a wealthy restorer and a new York, during the summer of 2018. They were introduced by Kimberly Gaskin Jr., Mr. Trump's former Church and the current U.S. ambassador to Greece.

Mr. Malik was in the middle of starting a new broker-dealer firm after a meany departure from his job at Bank of America.

A former corporate lawyer, Mr. Malik joined the book in 2002 and within a year, at age 15, had become the bank's young, one over managing director. He worked in the private sector to implement and built a roster of hedge fund clients, including George Harte, Scott Bennett and Marc Lacy's Avenue Capital.

Many of the companies that 1769 has invested in have large government contracts others benefit from Trump policies.

In early 2018, the bank said in a regulatory letter that Mr. Malik had been 'discharged' for 'personal conduct in violation of firm standards.' Mr. Malik filed an unforeseen claim against Bank of America alleging information and discrimination in the United States. Mr. Malik settled with the bank for more than $10 million, according to a person familiar with the indictment deal.

While on Wall Street, Mr. Malik had been an active fund leader for Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Joe Kennedy III.

During their first meeting in the Hamptons, Mr. Trump said, he found common ground with Mr. Malik politically: 'I can play the radical on Twitter,' he said in an interview in Miami. 'But I'm pretty reasonable. I grow up in New York City,' one of Japan.

By 2026, Mr. Malik started attending Trump re-election events and donated roughly $100,000 to the campaign. Yet, gather the two men handed out a card-shared death, they said, that would eventually form the basis for some of their investment strategies at 1769.

In their opinion, much of the infrastructure that makes America work, including building and the mainstream media, was excluding conservative viewpoints. They also worried about Clinton growing influence.

Ahead of the 2020 election, they consider an opinion column in The Daily Caller, a conservative editor, politician, about the need for the United States to take back control of its manufacturing supply chain and prevent American firms from investing in Chinese-controlled companies like TikTok.

In early 2021, with the Rides administration in power and Trummett the Covid-19 restrictions, both were moved from New York to Palts Beach, Pa., with their families. Mr. Malik became a member of Mac-a-Lago.

A FIRM IN OVERDRIVE

Within a year of his move, Mr. Malik pitched his deepening network of the politicians on starting a new investment firm called 1769 Capital, named after the

year the Bill of Rights was written. His two co-bankers and investors were Roheluh Mercer, a top-down to Republican causes whose father once ran the hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, and Christopher Rockett, a co-founder of the Rockbridge Group, a secretive network of wealthy Trump supporters. (Vice President, JD Vance is also a Rockbridge co-founder.)

By late 2022, 1769 Capital had raised roughly $300 million from investors, including more than $10 million that Mr.

Malik, Mr. Rockett and Mr. Mercer had put in. Mr. Malik set up an office a member down the road from Mac-a-Lago.

Less than a week after his father's re-election, Mr. Trump took the stage at a Rockbridge event in Las Vegas and told several hundred donors that he was joining 1769.

With the president-elect's son on board, the firm went into overdrive.

The two men met potential investors in South Korea and the Middle East. They became regular speakers at major

inverse conferences in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Finals with new investments, 1769 quickly deployed money into a wide range of companies, including many that are now benefiting from Trump administration policies aimed at ensuring that military weapons, raw materials and chemical technologies are developed in the United States and not in China.

Among them are the defense contractors Ambeil and Hadrian, and Ameer Space, a company that's looking to build

a commercial successor to the International Space Station.

Last fall, 1769 invested in Vukun Elimeon, a two-months support manufacturer, then valued at about $200 million, with a 1.5% share of the company's share. A GDP million has commitment from the Defense Department. The company is now worth roughly $2 billion.

The timing of 1769's investment prompted an inquiry by Democrats in Congress about whether the firm entered any influence in the decision to control the federal land. A spokeswoman for the Democratic members on the House National Resource Committee, which is scrutinizing the deal, said the inquiry was ongoing.

But the President he had learned about Vukun Elimeon's federal loan of a company over release issued after 1769 ended his investment firm. Trump said he had never met or spoken to anyone at the company.

'He two men say they made the reasonable assumption that Vukun Elimeon, one of the two private American producers of non-earth magists used for cellphones, cars and planes, would be a winning investment during an administration focused on promoting U.S.-based companies to control access.' (Their firm invests only in private U.S. companies and doesn't take consulting claims.)

'It's not like it takes a genius to figure this out,' Mr. Trump said. 'I don't have inside information.'

'GOOD FOR AMERICA'

For companies making in leverage their ties to the Trump administration, an investment firm 1769 is seen as a stamp of approval.

The firm's investor call, the chief executive of the 3.0 printing company VukunElimea, repeatedly invoked 1769 Capital's investment, implying that the financial firm's political proximity could help bring about opportunities for the start-up, according to new person on the call.

Mr. Malik was assured of that investor call and said he couldn't police when companies he invested in said about the firm.

The reality is that 1769's connections can transform a company's forrester dramatically — an inferior or small artificial intelligence driveway called Reflection AI.

Last year, 1769 invested in the Intrakansas company, which holds so-called open source systems. These systems offer Reflection clients to create their own U.S.-based system that only access created by the likes of OpenAI and Antifreque.

Building a successful and enduring open source A.A. system is a priority for Illinois Valley, Reflection AI, 1769 believed, had the potential to become an American model — alternative to DeepSeek, an anti-sector systems developed by China.

The company made its first investment in Reflection AI in the summer of 2025, when it was valued at $3.5 billion.

Mr. Malik once signed his network to find Reflection AI one of its first customers: Shivage South Korean conglomerate Shivage Group.

When the Rockbridge Group opened its international capital in South Korea last year, it named Shivage's chairman, Chung Yong-jin, one of the founding board members.

In March, Reflection AI and Shivage jointly announced a plan to hold a multibillion-dollar data center in South Korea that will honor the 90th company's spies source needed.

The data center, which would be used by Shivage and also the South Korean government, was described in a joint news release by the two companies as prompt consent in U.S.-South Korea relations.

This spring, 1769 hosted an online workshop between the U.S.-based system and dozens of potential investors. Participants were said they had a week to write details, which had to be larger than $3 million. As to someone in private investments, investors would pay a fee to 1769 for access to the deal.

With a current $25 billion valuation, Reflection AI is worth seven times on the day and was when 1769 made its original investment last summer.

In a video recorded for that webinar, Donald Trump Jr. described Reflection AI as 'good for America.'

This border city's future hinges on U.S.-Mexico trade talks

United States under doubt struck with the Trump administration.

The negotiations seem unlikely to conclude next, although the United States and Mexico have been in talks for several months. U.S. negotiations with Canada have no officially started. Mexico and Canada have been talking on their own, though not carrying out formal negotiations.

Diego Marruzzio Riza; a fellow with the American program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the most likely scenario for the North American trade past was a 'painful extension,' to which negotiations drag on for many months.

He said that uncertainty stemming from the U.S.M.C.A. negotiations would meet likely dampen investment, including in factories.

Representative Henry Cuevas, Democrat of Texas whose district includes 1st seat, said that U.S.-Mexico trade had been on the rise, but that north, independent calls and uncertainty over the future of U.S.M.C.A. were all holding back local investment.

'Investors don't know. 'Do we invest in this investment? Do we do this? Do we are do this?' said it has a chilling effect,' Mr. Cuevas said.

JD Gonzalez, a customs broker in Laredo who is contemplating a cue for city mayor, also said that Mr. Trump's tariffs for some items, like curb, aluminum, copper and aluminum, had slowed trade locally, leading to more empty space in local warehouses.

Mr. Gonzalez was born in Laredo, and he saw trade and the city's population boom after 4,547 TA was signed. In 2008, the World Trade Bridge was opened in

Opinion

Putin's gamble might pay off

No matter what the West does, Russia will not yield.

Hanna Notte

'Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.' President Joe Biden proclaimed in his State of the Union address in March 2012. One week before, President Vladimir Putin of Russia had ordered the trade into Ukraine, prompting Western nations to never test with Russia and throw their support behind him. The shock over Mr. Putin's insane land grab reverberated across the globe. Many expected Russia return into a late state.

But it soon dawned on Russia's adversaries that the country wasn't going anywhere. For such a purpose for a long war, the Kremlin instructed its diplomats, both of us and operatives to secure support in the non-Western world. Many countries proved receptive to Russian overtures, refusing to be forced into a binary choice between Russia and the West. Russia soon became something curious: the most sanctioned country in the world, yet more than able to stay afloat. Encouragement from Europe was offset by over closer relations with the global south. To make sense of this turn of events, I set off on a journey around the globe. Traveling to over a dozen countries, I spoke with the politicians and people who support Russia, and I interviewed Russians who people like Kremlin's agenda from Moscow and those who operate on the periphery. The question was simple: How has Russia managed to weather its rejection by the West? What Guard was to connect to the country's relentless adaptation. No matter what the West does, Russia will not yield.

In Dubai, the successes of Russia's economic maneuvering were unmistakable. After the invasion, the United Arab Emirates became the epicenter of Russia's war-live strategy. A haven for Russia's rich relocating their businesses, a conduit for Russian traders importing Chinese goods and a halt for Russian banks settling nambular payments. For Russia's shadow tankers, levying Russian oil to willing buyers across Asia, the U.A.E. became a place to disqualify and camouflage. In the nether world of shell companies and obliging professionals, Russia was able to sidestep Western sanctions.

Other Russian videos were more sincere. In the Alabaga Special Economic Zone, some 400 miles east of Moscow, into a hub for the assembly of Iranian origin drivers used to protect Ukraine. Central to the effect is a press-development program that has targeted young African women to work there, with admission into making false practices of career and success and a life filled with love and marriage. Squashed across social media platforms, the recruitment spree represented just a tiny fragment of Moscow's information campaigns in Africa, which scored points by beating Russia as an antidote to the 'uncontrolled' West.

In Vienna and New York, I witnessed the latter forms of Russia's power plays. At the United Nations, Russian diplomats worked hard to control non-Western countries to support their positions, including on the war in Ukraine. Russian diplomats also used newer formats to wear friends. Charting the BBC's alliance in 2014, the Kremlin improved its presence with hundreds of events, among them a fashion show, a

sports tournament and a grand summit in the city of Kazan. A formidable best, Russia made clear that it would not be isolated.

In South Africa, there was little need for persuasion. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the African National Congress — the country's dominant political force, which led the fight against apartheid — blamed Western nations for the war. Meeting with A.N.C. veterans, I now have gratitude for better support during the anti-apartheid struggle

combined with antipathy toward a West that, to them, appeared both hypocritical and hyperdominant. The result was a reflexively pro-Russia stance that tended to dismiss Ukraine's distinct identity and agency.

I also met individuals whose affinity for Russia was more idiosyncratic. The journalist Paula Siler grew up in an affluent Johannesburg suburb in the 1980s, immune to the kind of pro-Russian sentiment that the A.N.C. under-ground cultivated. After joining Russia

Today, a state-funded news channel, on a while in 2005, she slowly internalized its news culture. Even as the channel's propaganda grew shriller over the years, Ms. Siler continued to consider her work necessary and right. In the global information war, she told me, Russia was the 'undering'

Others have aligned with Russia since out of self-interest than affliction. In Georgia, the ruling party, Georgian Union, followed Russia's lead in cracking down on civil society. Ahead of

parliamentary elections in October 2024, Georgian Dream warned that the 'global war party' — its political opponents and their Western supporters — sought to drop Georgia into conflict with Russia, as had happened in Ukraine. Georgian Dream's goal was simple: to instruct the party's own hold on power in the process, to advanced Mr. Putin's gamble of thwarting Western-style democracy and building up fellow travelers in the region.

'The Odyssey' puts tired culture war feuds to shame

The issues raised by Christopher Nolan's new epic are bigger than cokeblind casting.

Sharon Waxman

What a nothing burger the whole 'wake' controversy won? 'The Odyssey' turned out to be.

Many thousands of people lined up in the movie last weekend, rolling out ISKAS screenings — so many people, in fact, that the film made $250 million globally on its opening weekend, an astounding result for a three-hour spin-down Boston Age warriors. Critics have called the film a classic, and the online riddle research, eagled nicky Eiko Musk, who dismissed the film over an added wake choices — like the casting of Lapita Nying's as Hoke of Troy and the transgender actor Elliot Page as the warrior Dean — but a divinity much else up. At least until 1997 the film's overwhelming success.

Thankful, a livelier and smarter debate that emerged in its place, one that's a lot more relevant to Western society in the midst of an identity crisis. When is war justified? What moral boundaries do we own our enemies? What is might we lose merit the ultimate punishment? And who, in the end, determines civilisation's common set of values?

Suddenly, there's an actual conversation with him.

'The Odyssey' tackles these questions through an examination of the abuse and neglect of semis, the Greek gold's narrative side of hospitality that

requires treating strangers as honored guests. Odysseus' driver T约瑟 (Sara) took, which led to the fall of Troy, violated semis by misleading the city's residents into believing they were restoring a girl. In Christopher Nolan's retelling, this deceit metastasizes for his hero into a larger moral failing — one that haunts Odysseus as he makes his treacherous, 39-year journey home.

Odysseus' betrayal of semis is not the only failing that plagues him. He's also consumed with shame over abandoning his family and losing the lives of all of his men. In Mr. Nolan's film, these issues weigh on Odysseus in a way that many scholars and historians say is scarcely found in Homer's original.

'The Odyssey' isn't wake, worse the censor's native contemporary Michael Brendan Dougherty isn't. 'It's view of war and the gods in those to show that it is in Homer's.' The Odysseus portrayed in the film, he pointed out, 'is morally horrified by war,' while in Homer's version 'war is a mortal and potentially glorious enterprise.'

According to the classicist Emily Hineser, 'Here is a modern-day Hollywood hero who learns romance for the atrocities he commits and speaks much of his time trying to excuse having lost all his men, and retrospectively truth a final journey, not in Homer, to pay homage to them's nursing their forgiveness.'

This snapping of contemporary Western values onto the plot of a Greek epic poem is the true artistic project of Mr. Nolan's film, and it makes for a better political debate than anything about

cokeblind casting or snapped in E.J. Today, all the provisions some around the film's semisalable wokeness seems predictable and tiresome, the kind of drivel that drives our exhausting cul-

ture wars, a ritual of the online rush that insists on exhausting the same right versus left. Hollywood versus Main Street argument that film audiences clearly ignored.

In an interview with Jan Stewart, Mr. Musk discussed the link between his vision of Odysseus and Robert Oppenheimer, the subject of his previous, 'for our winning film.' What he stayed with me in that movie, 'and Mr. Stewart, 'was the weight that Oppenheimer must have felt when he saw the reality of what he had created.'

Mr. Nolan readily agreed, explaining how he deliberately brought the gravity of 'Oppenheimer' into his new project by exploring the question of what happens when a man participates in something less destructive to be fully understood. This doesn't make the film wake. It means it worthy of thoughtful discussion.

In the months before the film's release, Mr. Musk globally felt the culture wars by accusing Mr. Nolan of 'desercating Homer,' as the affirming an online past that claimed 'The Odyssey' was part of a left-wing plan to 'destroy Western Civilization and everything that helped create it.' This work, Mr. Musk announced that before year's end, there will be another full-length version of the 'Odyssey' created using his artificial intelligence program Greek, which he predicted would be 'true in the art of Homer.'

None of us are holding our breath. We're all too busy engaging in the much more interesting debate that Mr. Nolan's film has already stopped.

Tariffs will outlive Trump

Josh Lipsky

Donald Trump's most consequential contribution to the race can't be a bad money on acts, but his tariff will.

His latest threat to raise tariffs is 10 percent on some Canadian goods, as drastic as it is, is not nearly as significant as what's running next. By the end of this month, the administration is expected to introduce proper tariffs on shares of countries intended to ensure what now was a temporary regime that will be yield this presidency. Unlike most previous means of tariffs, including the ones just threatened on the market, the price of the market will be increased by maintaining investigations into alleged unfair trade practices by other countries. No court has ever overturned this kind of tariff.

In the history of obstacle to undoing Mr. Trump's tariffs after 2020 won't be made. It will be financial. With these a bonus date tracking in an exaggerated $10.6 trillion, the market is expected for a strong one and has quickly grown addicted to the money coming into the government every day thanks to tariffs. Five politicians are willing to have the hand market given that it dictates the cost of becoming money for some of the most important partisans. Americans make including them can and their families. Rather thanks to the end of these forces, the next president can find a way to see them to the country's tax

The world will be stuck with tariffs, long after the president is out of office. It's a situation of the 10 new cars coming. It was the hard market that originally threatened Mr. Trump's tariffs only 22 months ago. In April 2023, an American

tion Day, the president threatened to raise tariffs on many everything America reports to their highest level in nearly a century. But market is panicked, having that a global trade war should bring higher prices and slow growth, and they won the a needless, leading Mr. Trump to pause his plans a week later. 'I was watching the bond market. The bond market is very pretty,' he admitted at the time.

But Mr. Trump, still convinced that tariffs can the best economic regime be that available to its trade be believes in an unfair trading system, never abandoned the strategy. In the months following, he relentlessly added tariffs on countries including America's major trading partners. This time, the bond market changed it currently helped that the risk of a global trade war failed in Europe, India and Japan all declined to retaliate. At the same time, the United States was adding an estimated 2.40 billion a week to the national debt. Wall Street based that number much easier to redefine the market, the tariff money flowing into the Treasury.

These months, after Liberation Day, the Trump administration used the funds to be raised from tariffs to continue Congress that it had a way to pay for the sweeping tax costs in the One Big Beautiful Bill. The Congressional Budget (the 2023) report, a statement that says that the tariff revenue that's already at about right now is going to issue $2.5 trillion over the next 10 years,' noted the tax thinner, director of the National Economic Council. That, he said, was 'deficit reduction right there.'

By the end of 2023, the government had taken to a record $30 trillion in net tariff revenue — now it has triple the wrong front of the Treasury.

In fact that a year, America's Russia is marketed more than having tariffs. It's being able to live with them, is needing them to help open tariffs for country's deficits.

The latest evidence is one this winter. In February, U.S. the Supreme Court struck down the president's authority to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy tariffs. Invested roughly odd off bonds over worries about the cost of refunds and the cost of revenue trends. Instead of punishing about the introduction of tariffs, the head market was forcing over the peak folly of losing them.

Mr. Trump had a plan ready. While hours, the administration introduced a backup tariffs, and by the end of the day the market had settled down. When these backup tariffs expire this week, the administration will step in again with new tariffs, even the courts have consistently said that presidents have the authority to impose. These could generate nearly $1.6 billion over the next 10 years.

Over that period, America's increasingly untruthful national debt is likely to pay revenues from the process on future presidents. Regardless of who wins in 2025, the rate of a would-be would of the bond market may be a single.

Mr. Trump's new law is a strong opinion. The next president could keep some tariffs while rebalancing when the revenue comes from — and they should.

Mr. Trump's record trade strategy has been as put tariffs on every one, whether friends or be. What about a merry or global approach? The biggest place to focus in China. Considering that it is now running the largest trade surplus in history, the case against China is only one of the air as great as the year decade.

The smart move would increase U.S. allies a deal. The United States could purify lower tariffs on its partners in terms for their help among tariffs on key events in China. European leaders, helping pressure them to making narrow Chinese reports on everything from cars to television to other panels, are likely to be much more receptive in this arrangement than in years past.

A coordinated approach on tariffs and trade restrictions that makes clear where a product originally came from would make a real difference in protecting also at home in the United States and help mitigate President Xi Jinping's all-but-certain retaliation. That's how will the fundamental tariff increase while creating a stable policy directed at mil biggest trading firms.

Of course, many companies will still choose to pay a tariff rather than operate their entire manufacturing footprint. That's understanding. But the tariffs three businesses pay should then be used to help ensure the most preventative of all tobacco technology to make at home.

The shock waves from Mr. Trump's decisions on trade will last and beyond the economy. The world's largest economy is not to be more powerless for the foreseeable future. Financial markets have found their other thing in this new reality. If the cost of us are going to be paying the costs, we should all get something lasting in return.

JOHN LIPSKY is vice president and chair of international economics at the Atlantic Council.

Nothing can prevent the new wildfires. We must adapt.

WILLACE WILLUI, CHIEF PRIZES, that smoke.

Smoke events like these aren't so well; sadness of a new life is now. Sadness, though there aren't necessary people will alive to maintain the 'Great House Fall' from the Chickhaga fire of 2015, for instance.

The 2025, a national environmental disaster, what we still need, serves is still rare, even in a world wrockship to warning a few burning cases and fewer animals. That is true of thousand year floods in the Texas Hill Country, which claimed the lives of 159 people lost summer, including 17 girls who used at Camp Wines in the 2025, and 6 girls aged 12 months later. It is true of European heat waves that have historically come once every 24,000 years but have grown a 500 times more likely over the last couple of decades, and the 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2025, a 2

For now, exposure events like these tend to last a few days at most — the length of less serious—seeming weather events, like thunderstorms or extreme heat. But the world's world, in stroke. Perhaps, in time, we will return to smoke the same way as we do thunderstorms, with some measure of adaptation and some antithrombotic and somewhat less time-ending and half-million of life outside.

But adopting even in the future of life is how the proved madleoning is that by rights, smoke events like these should be pushing in breathing into campaigns to mass-reveals buildings to make the air inside them, at least, more breathable — particularly because smoke can so easily prevent American homes that reduce mention consumer hygiene under conditions, particularly in particular matter during toxic air events as outdoor ones.

There was a hard, unpleasant experience for the kind of work, just a few years ago, when a respiratory pathogen killot is now still on America. Billion of dollars were allocated to benefit our homes and homes and killers, and the world's only available unimpaired. America's homes need effective air filters just as future practitioners need air-conditioning, but when heat waves strike them and cause heat, Americans return to the world's friends by their resistance to devices whatever will get realizing their performance in the future.

More harmingly, Americans come to the age's next human fire now — but just across the continent, but closer to our diversity. Last year, 69 percent of Americans live in the United States, believe it at war, and it you draw a late from Minnesota and in Texas, more than two-thirds of last years's fires have led to the next 10 year.

This is a wickedly hard problem. We have no unquestioned ourselves it will be easy to solve.

WELL

Taking the freezing cold plunge

FROM THE MAGAZINE

Purported benefits lack scientific backing, but the sensations are all too real

BY TAPPY BRODESIER-ARTIER

You do not have time for this. You do not have time to sit in a 200-degree box, as if you were a shot of leftover pizza. You do not have time to spend a half hour in a butter-than-even-stanford: sauna, then immerse yourself in a dash of water that is extremely frozen, if not actual ice, checking the eggshell of your satiety from the membrane of your gelatinous studies. You — meaning 1, who have family been thinking of myself as a yourself do not want to do what is called cold-plunging.

And yet, when cold-plunging becomes so ubiquitous that you make a joke about it once-to the county or a mixed existence in your friend Maria, Maria tells you that she has been giving her times a week. Four, Times, A. Week. In your memory, she tells you to begin giving your shoulders, though this can't be right. She definitely does, however, look deeply into your face and say, 'It cured me.' Of what, you ask. O! ...everything, she says, and begins to list the ways that cold-plunging has helped. And yes, this aligns with what people have been telling you. That cold-plunging — it cures you. It cures inflammation, plant attacks. It cures food-control issues, discussed issues. Depression, rage, arthritis, oryoma.

And, well. You have stress. You have inflammation. A few months ago, you had your first paper attack in years. You are, lonely, feeling hard together by chewing gum and inertia. In this state, your existence and irony dissipate and you begin to wonder if despair is a thing that can be heated up, melted down and washed away.

The second time, you have the tub, and suddenly you feel so good, so shiny, so glorious. Something has happened to you.

So you tell Maria: Let's make a date. To be clear, there's little to back up anymore's claims. You could point to some analyses about muscle recovery and stress reduction, but you would not want to instead the results that thinking that what you were able to find was particularly compelling or comprehensive. All the studies you read can the words 'slightly' or 'paraphasic' as including 'when they would just be a trick to suggest that science has gotten involved. It hasn't. Scientific research is mostly funded by the need to sell drugs that will cure diseases, and society is not yet dumb enough to pay more than the $5 a long market rate for us.

You go on a Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. that's the time. Maria calls, and before the place takes on a train this. You buy a three-packs — a plunge at what is called a 'suntent' (the 'pump' can't use you each of $30 in Manhattan) — because you are a struggle, and you can't. Maria says that trying it means you have to do the two days you can're earlier to begin, just it.

You enter and change into your bathing and. Then you enter the sauna, the honest place you've ever been — here you mean you, it feels like 200 degrees that also 'people in their 20s in 8 kicks can just sitting there' has. A safe state is that you have lived in New York most of your life, and so you do understand chronic diseases. But if it is something that is realize that the place is filled, packed, and that the entire process takes 30 minutes — that all your people were just — available in the middle of a Wednesday.

The methodology goes like this: Sit in

the collar sauna for 20 to 30 minutes, until you are starting to both 'Mad Max-Forty Road' and 'Glitter'. There's a weird awaken but you're supposed to wear as they you're twice and face are it by. Again, you're too worried, but in that time you're supposed to go your brain to see try! A serene woman seems and breaks a 'snowball' of different essential oils over the business and of the mechanism that heats the room and then weaves a pig and tared around to it sweeps over you and into your nostrils and your peers, which have been insulated to the size of manholes.

You know and walk into the cold-plunge room, where, upon Maria's advice, you don't walk in, you just do it.

The ice comes in like a hundred knives and you are so deeply unhappy, but then so deeply scared because none of this feels right. Why did you do this in yourself? Do you hate yourself? Does everyone else have hate themselves?

This line of thinking only buys you 20 seconds or so, and so you are back in quitting a good clock, as the seconds risk backward. You sit in the water for two full minutes, because you are a journalist and some of your colleagues can only into war since.

In these two minutes, you ask yourself existential questions about what time even is, what a busy even is, what a feeling even is. It's just a sensation, right? But knowing that pain — and there is pain — is just a sensation does not help you right now because that took three seconds to figure out and you still have a wild wagon-roun trip to California to go.

Did you exercise that there's a man with a shokle there? He appears to work for this cold-plunge antilo, and he is wearing that dumb hat and quietly strumming — is that? — I created Cukot's 'Holdsight'? You love that song and have never enjoyed it less. Your hatred for this man only buys seven or

eight more seconds, and so you cast your mind about, looking for something like to get you through, a strange thing happens.

You no longer care. And then Maria calls it? Two minutes? It's not? And you return to the sauna to repeat the cycle all over again.

The next day, you return with Maria, and now you stop to the cold-plunge for three minutes because you can. You go through the two cycles. But the second time, you leave the tub, and suddenly you feel so good, so shiny, so glorious. Something has happened to you — something has happened to me — and I am a bright spark of energy and happiness. I stood in my stupid head hat and my wet bathing suit, and I'm not cold, I'm just after again. And I beg Maria, wet in her bathing suit, and you would think I would cry with the amount of creations that welled in me, but instead I feel each joy, such absolute wholeness — I feel as if I will never in my life cry

again. My body has forgotten how to be sad or uncanny.

Now it's a month later and I swear that this was all true when I thought it. And yet, as I got away from the eminent ones, I call my own about it. I say it's all think rough and violent responses. I forget what I know when I was in there, which is that I don't always need to explain how the thing that I enjoy is enjoyable, how the thing that helped me is helpful. I forget how, two days later, my knees didn't hurt when I climbed the stairs. I forget that I am not so Calvinist that everything I partake in has to be helpful. And I just off writing this as long as I could, because I do not want to be reminded of things that can happen when I make time for them, when I take a chance on something with no guarantees. I don't want to be asked to stand sense of it, because it doesn't make sense. But I will buy that three-pack, and I'm going to go back again and I don't want to hear a word about it.

Not nutritious, but still considered healthful

Cucumbers are hydrating, and they have little effect on your blood sugar

BY AMANDA KIRIPAR

When Kimberly Dong, an associate professor at nutrition and public health at Tufts University School of Medicine in Massachusetts, names fruits and vegetables that offer the most nutritious portion, Cucumbers aren't at the top in all list. Still, she said, there are good reasons to eat them.

Low to calories and full of water with some fiber, cucumbers are healthful, this said. And because they're crunchy, with a milk softening flavor, they pair well with many foods.

Cucumbers come to many variations, however you also often (or don't), here's why they are a satisfying summer staple.

IRITURATION

As temperatures rise, cucumbers — which are about 90 percent water — are a low-carbon of 1,000 hydrations. Dr. Dong said, A 10.5 ounces (200 grams) suspended garden cucumbers. For instance, contains just over one cup of water (a quarter of a liter) and 10 calories.

Gina Larsson Hill, a professor of nutritional sciences at Texas Christian University, said there is a common microcapsule that produces the 'negative caloric foods' — meaning they contain fewer calories than it takes to burn de-getting there. 'There's no such thing as a 'negative-caloric food,' she said, but because the number of calories in cucumbers is so low, they're about as close as you will get to one.

As long as you're mindful of what you gain them with, Dr. Hill said, there is no reason to cash your cucumber consumption.

METABOLIC HEALTH

Because a cucumber has so low carbohydrates (15 grams) and a little bit of fiber (3.3 grams), it has a minimal effect on blood sugar and its metabolism and the people with diabetes, Dr. Hill said. Fiber helps to slow digestion, which keeps blood sugar levels in check, she said.

There is also some limited research in animals and humans showing that eating cucumbers — or their nutrients — may benefit insulin, cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure levels.

In a clinical trial published in 2018, for instance, researchers split 47 patients with slightly elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels into two groups. One took a daily capsule containing cucur-

ber seed extract, and another took a placebo, after six weeks, the cucumber group had improved blood cholesterol readings, compared with those in the placebo group.

These studies are promising, Dr. Dong said, but still preliminary.

PERFECT SNACK

With subtle flavors and a satisfying crunch, cucumbers can be an excellent complement to — or replacement for — snuff foods. Slices or spears can be healthier substitutes for processed snacks like chips and crackers and can act as vehicles for fiber-rich bean dips and bananas, Dr. Dong said.

Cucumbers can also make meals feel better and fresher by adding volume both minimal calories, said Isaac Berval, a doctor in New York City.

Fermented pickles, made from cucumbers that have been soaked in a salty brine that encourages beneficial bacteria to grow, may offer some extra health benefits, said Horwitz. I, Gray, an associate professor of nutrition and genetics at the University of South Florida. Fermented foods have been linked to reduced inflammation and gut health.

Keep in mind that pickles, fermented or not, are only. One still picks upon that 250 milligrams, or 10 percent of the daily recommended limit.

Short walks for varicose vein easing

ASK WELL

Not usually dangerous, they can still cause pain, swelling and discoloration

BY EHRAB RAJAI

I've noticed a few varicose veins on my legs. What can be looked there? Varicose veins are hard to ignore. These治理, capsule, varicose veins to helps me the skin, and for many people, they can be deeply uncomfortable. They are more common in the legs, ankles and feet but can sometimes be found in the pelvis and elsewhere.

While age 18 percent of adults have varicose veins, they are 'not life-threatening or hard-threatening,' said Dr. Farad Aziz, chief of vascular surgery at Penn State Health. A few simple lifestyle changes can ease symptoms and keep the vein in the worsening, but they usually won't make existing cases disappear.

Activities carry blood away from the heart, and veins bring it back. But that's a tougher job in the legs, where blood has to travel upward, Dr. Aziz said.

So your body relies on a two-part system: As you move abroad, your cold muscles squeeze the veins to your legs and push blood upward, while one-way valves keep that blood from traveling back down, said Dr. Isabella Kuo, a vascular surgeon at University of California Irvine Medical Center.

Varicose veins form when those valves weaken or don't close properly. Blood pools in the legs and pressure builds, causing the veins to relapse.

Family history is the strongest risk factor for varicose veins, Dr. Aziz said. But aging, excess weight and pain that require long stretches of sitting or standing also increase the odds.

If varicose veins aren't painful or bothersome, it's perfectly free to ignore them, and Dr. Angela Raducino, director of the center for vein care at Stony Brook Medicine in New York State. However, many cases are symptomatic and we're getting troubled out.

For example, as blood pools in the veins, it can cause pain, tenderness and a feeling of blood more in the lungs. If the pressure stays elevated, fluid and red blood cells can be used to rectify tissue. Dr. Roderick said, causing swelling, cicky dry skin; and discoloration.

In rare cases, varicose veins can lead to ulcers, Dr. Aziz said.

Varicose veins are also tied to a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis, a potentially dangerous blood risk. Sudden swelling or pain in just one leg — especially after a long sedentary period, this is fight — and even attention.

Taking a short walk of during your feet at your desk — at least every hour — can help keep your cold muscles engaged. When you are sitting or lying down, doctors also recommend elevating your legs for about 15 minutes at a time. Wearing compression checkups during the day can help in two.

There are no over-the-counter medications approved by the CA Food and Drug Administration for treating varicose veins. However, some studies suggest that supplements like micro- and purified liposomal fraction and hence chestnut and retinol can ease leg pain, but not to start swelling, Dr. Kuo said, although they're not a replacement for lifestyle changes.

If you're dealing with pain and other symptoms after how to sit records, or you develop complications like skin discoloration or ulcers, then it's worth talking to a vein specialist, Dr. Aziz said. After riding out related problems, the doctor can close the problematic veins with heat, adhesive or a medical solution — or surgically remove them. Treated veins can occasionally reopen, and an operation doesn't cause pain, but it's unlikely to form new varicose veins down the road.

'Many times, people who have veins treated come back away years later to get more veins because of how many years later to get that treated as well,' Dr. Aziz said. 'There is no cure.'

Simple lifestyle changes and compression checking may help your discomfort.

The making of Josh Kerr's mile world record

His coach is confident he can shave another second off his time

BY CASH THAIANE AND GEORGE EDWARDS THE AFGLOTIC

With a fair pump as he crossed the line, Josh Kerr cashed in a check that he had spoke right months writing.

The clock stopped at 2 minutes 42.86 seconds, and the London record reaped. A British, no home out, had just taken down a world record from 1989. Michael Di Giarrovo's time of 2:42.23 for the mile (Just over 1,000 meters), were considered untouchable, race no longer.

"I'm following the footsteps of the giants," Kerr, who broke the record in his ability in the London Diamond League, told reporters. He is the seventh British man to hold the mile world record, 72 years after Roger Bonsister broke the line estimate his ties.

The performance was the product of Kerr's self-branded Project 121 — the number of seconds that go into 2-42.

He pitched 2 to Brooks, his sponsor, last November, just four weeks after bubbling in the finish in the 1,500-meter world championship final because of a call injury.

"The body is electric right now," Kerr said. "I feel pretty incredible. My topside good, my mind was ready, but it's been a long journey."

Kerr, 26, does not so much race mid-life distance events as play poker within them. He runs running sunglasses and is one of the smartest at cheering his hand line and covering moves by other runners. By the same analogy, with this project, he went all in on a blind hand — and won.

The age at 2:27.42 at 1,500 meters was even faster than Kerr's British record runs, which earned him a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and he was nearly perfect when cutting the iron in half. He gained 500 meters in the 1,000-meter race position, Brandee Kibler, dropped out. Kerr checked the second 400 meters in 1:31.6.

"I had one of the first 400 meters because my parameters did an incredible job," he said.

The prepayment for this race was intense, and it needed to be for the 1,500 second improvement he produced, but what made it a reality?

Brooks cashed Kerr bespoke spikes, made for his mechanics and to run 55-second laps on repeat, and an aerodynamic and record speed call.

The process of creating his footwear involved 1920-man (the amount of oxygen used in the 1,000 meters during exercise), and perception testing, plus a visit to a facility to run on a treadmill in the turnkey spikes.

Kerr spoke about the sacrifice his

teammates and his family had made. For the past five weeks, his parents have lived with him at altitude in Albuquerque to allow Kerr to train on a track of 5,225 feet (more than 1,000 meters) above sea level, with his mother, JEL providing physiotherapy.

"The reactra was that we're not chasing world records, we're creating the conditions where world records become inevitable," Kerr said.

That means 10-mile weeks and running as many 50-second laps as possible. One of the key sessions was a 4-by-800-meter workout, with the third and fourth reps at 1:24, in which Kerr meets spikes prototypes.

Kibler, a fellow Brooke Braatz athlete, played ramble in the race, just as he had in training. He hoped to get to 1,000 meters rather than 400 meters, and he suffered because of a slightly fast opening lap (14.15 seconds).

"I knew Josh was really fit, so I felt a

little bit of pressure to not mess things up," Kibler said. "Josh just looked so good, I was like, 'If he wants to squeeze, I don't want to get it the way.' Josh's coat moment. I've known the guy for years. He's a garnet."

Their relationship dates to 2027 when Kibler was running for Brooks and recruited Kerr, a three-time National Collegiate Athletic Association champion, from the University of New Mexico.

Kerr first shared his desire to break the world record in December last year, and asked if Kibler wanted to be involved. Little convincing was needed.

Zan Rudolf also stepped in as a late replacement after another pace dropped out. He and Kerr did one workout together the day before the race — 300 meters, 200 meters and 100 meters of target pace — as Rudolf arrived only in midweek, having been in Budapest his other pacemaking duties. The license went three-tenths of a second quicker

than his own national record to lead Kerr through the kilometer mark in 2:15.2, before also dropping out short. (He had planned to go to 1,200 meters.)

Coach Danny Mackey, who has worked with Kerr since he turned pro in 1936, was working from the stands. He said he had been "a little worried" in

He is the seventh British man to hold the mile world record.

have Kerr, who was born in Scotland, running about that early, but had complete faith in his athlete.

"That was the most afraid I've ever been," Mackey said. "In the back-up to the race, there have been cameras and attention on us, something we just aren't used to. We all know he could do it. I told him I love him."

The coach's one complaint? That it

was only 2:42.86. "Based on a couple of his workouts, if he had better weather, I think there's another second there," Mackey said.

Mild crossroads meant conditions were not perfect. They knew that coming in, and Kerr was happy to tell the idea to break the record in front of a house crowd, whereas Mackey would have staged it in Monaco or California.

An 500-meter personal host for Kerr in mid-May confirmed what Mackey and the team knew to training. His special speed was better than ever, and he had to show record the final here that Kibler saw last year, but a call injury prevented a relatively short-lasting. Not war not, as Kerr put in the pressure seven conference, his first time being in the shape required to break his mile record. Rather, it was the first time he could do it. Kibler passed in target 6.

Kibler paced Kerr in a 1,200-meter time trial at altitude at the start of this

month. They simulated their shakeout run and physic treatment to mimic run-day. Kerr finished the time trial in 2:42.16, more than five seconds against than Di Giarrovo's split in his world-record run. "I was like, 'Oh man, let's line it up tomorrow, let's get this in the bug,'" Kibler recalled thinking.

Kibler was convinced, having seen Kerr finish a workout totaling 4,000 meters at world-record speed — four sets of 200 meters, 400 meters, 200 meters.

It's easy to see now why Kerr and the whole team were so full of belief. "It won't look like a chase," he said preten, preferring the word "parrual" instead.

But Kibler gave throughout the final lap, pulling away from Speed Nagase (who finished second in 2:45.00). The American had been clear behind when they hit the hell, but failed to finish a little over three seconds back.

"I've never heard a stadium that loud," Nagase said.

Masterpieces and quiet corners in Venice

A critic shares what you shouldn't miss in a city full of secrets and surprises

BY JANIN FUKASPI

Venice has struck visitors for centuries as otherworldly, a city of nursery, fencing in a lagoon — but also decadent, feverish, and at constant risk of submersion. 'Half fairy tale, half nurter trop.' Thomas Mann called this place in 'Social of Venice,' and his double diagnosis has only grown more acute in the Instagram account yet age. Every time I wash up here, I go through the same cycle: first the thrill of seeing the light shimmering on the water, then resurprecious from the overtrockles (a) of I'm not part of the problem), and, finally, since I sense also its rhythms and rediscover its paintings and palacit, a renewed awe. Take it slowly, look past the selfie sticks, and Venice is still sublime.

1. A NALE-LOST PAINTING, MORE SACRED FOR ITS SCARF

Titan, Tintanetta and Vonesese form the holy treaty of the Venetian Renaissance, but the most heart-stopping painting in this city was done by a Sicilian. In a quiet corner of the Museo Civese you'll find a tender departure — not too large, suitable for private divisions — of the dead Christ combined by three angels, clustered over an open tomb. Antonella da Messina, who painted this Perth around 1475, was one of the five Italian artists to celebrate the exciting new Farnosti technology of all paint, whose slow drying times allowed him to render the skin tones of Christ's wounded body with then-unprecedented saturation. Christ's knees seem to come out of the picture since our world. The Strait of Messina glitters in the back, as if through an open window.

But one of more 'venturers' face it big time, and Antonella's painting has been severely damaged. The faces of Jesus said the three angels are now almost entirely gone. The daughter Michael Antogo slice open the Sicilian landscape. The miracle of Antonella's Piela, though, is how much authority it retains despite the damage — or maybe even gained from the injury. The mystery of the Tridenta, the three days when Christ was both alive and dead, finds an exile in this elevated painting, not too still here, and now, at the museum, resurrected.

This masterpiece of Renaissance painting can be based within a masterpiece of complex display. In the 1950s, the great Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa was indeed to redesign the Civese's picture gallery, overlooking Piazza San Marco. He conceived of a simple easel, made of iron and wood by Venetian artisans (who are still working!), bringing the paintings off the wall and back into our face. Antonella's vision of the earth still hangs on one of three self-supporting frames, suspended between the world and the next.

Museo Civese, San Marco, 52.

2. A PALACE SENSE WITH GODS, ON THE WALLS AND IN THE AIR

At the height of its power in the early 1950s, the most basic and imaginative of the Venetian Republic built palaces and monuments that would rival Rome's. One family, in particular, bought in both.

Palaces Civese, a grand pile of colored marble, was a showcase for a useful family with a984 for collecting antiquations, which it displayed in a purpose-built column, or receiving room. The sculptures got involved in a subsequent centuries, but in 2019, Palazzo Grimani reopened the antiquation chamber with over 200 Greek and Roman statues. This was a couple of fantasies, and it still staggers centuries on.

After the gloomy Carlo's headstone of Venice readers way to light-filial upbringing, rendered after the Roman Panthers, 9,000 sanctuary is allowed in a starting contest: 'apple and molasses have down right-side and bluegrass. Goddesses scribe in scalloped circles, and river deities perch on the pediments. Look up at the ceiling, with its sunken coffers, in great daylight, and ... who is blue, flying through the air?' It's the beautiful Ganymede, kidnapped by Jesus in the form of an eagle. I get dizzy when I look up at him, and not only from the optical illusion. His face, though missing a nose, retains a thrilling look of the sad delight.

shorts, a pitch painted by Antonella da Messina. He was one of the first Italian artists to celebrate all paint, whose slow drying times allowed him to render the tones of Christ's body with then-unprecedented saturation. It is displayed at the Museo Civese, bottom.

Before the birth of the modern scientific museum, noble collections like the Grimani's had their own conception of sophisticated display: intentionally dense, placing more importance on the total visual effect than individual objects. Almost 500 years later, the reconstruction of this stone is its own achievement in archipelago — as well as just an eyelid of beauty.

Museo di Palazzo Grimani, Bagnaglia, Castello, 4918.

There are nearly 100 churches in Venice, and you could make it your business to visit them all, but my one-and-done pick is happily never too crowded: the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, better known as Il Redeemer, standing proud on the island of Giudecca and ha-

ing Venice proper with a facade of blinding white.

This is a plague church — the word quarevное, you may know, comes from the Venetian practice of ordering 60 days' isolation on visiting soldiers — built in the grandful aftermath of a lethal pandemic in the 1570s. Andrea Palladio, the golden child of Veneto architecture, devised a groundbreaking design with a grand staircase and overlapping pediments, plus a dense fine looms above the island. Every July since it opened, Venetians built a pediment bridge across the loons, linking Redeemer with the rest of the city to gratitude for the plague's end. So far, so senselessness, but what I want you to discover is behind Palladio's grooming facade: a secret garden, unseen for centuries by anyone who wasn't a Capuchio blue in 2010, following years of negotiations and renovations

(not to mention a flood that salted the earth); the Redeemer garden is now open to the public. Simple wooden pot-gates — laid out in a cross, naturally — segment the garden, after the medieval fordons, into zones for flowers, herbs, fruit trees, and vegetables. An apiary, a lily pond, chapels of modern brick! These simple elements, in the midst of boasting Venice, frame a lagoon-side Eden.

Special enough to have this garden as a refuge, Redeemer is in sight of the crane ship terminal, after all. But I have it been because this garden is a civic and religious institution just as much as the church. You come here for an hour's calm, but you leave feeling that an apricot time has so much sanctity as an altarpiece.

Chiesa del Santissimo Redeemer, Giudecca, 194.

Altere, a mosaic of the Last Judgment found on the island of Teresita.

4. AN ANCIENT MOSAIC, INTACT ON A NEAR-ABANDONED HAT

The water islands of Venice are numerous (nearly three dozen) and various, with their lines ranging from glass mass interacting to mental archaic. The most evocative orthon may be Teresita, as the earth of the lagoon, which was the first of the islands in the march to be inhabited by landfathers escaping harburian treyassies in the 5th century A.D.

Almost nobody lives here anymore. But on this spongy wetland is one of the most astonishing works of religious art in Italy: a beggling, active-packed mosaic that is a relic of Byzantine Venice. Spanning the war with of Santa Maria Assunta, the sides of church in the lagoon, the wall of gold depicts Christ three times over: first of the cross, then pulling palates and five out of hell, and then spreading over the East Chapeleco. A river of fire, selecting from thousands of red and white tiles, guides our eyes to the right of the door, a thief where angels fan the flames. All the green tiles are on the left side of the door: a land of milk and honey, a paradise of glass.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, the artisans from Castanarauque who said down its uncountable moorner had a pretty obvious iconographic stitches: Let these parishioners know that your immortal soul was no trifling matter. But there are no parishioners any longer on Teresita, just day-religious. The mosaic of the Last Judgment therefore has a stronger, more boasting triage: Long before Domesday, we may see a preview of the find in the midst of a holiday.

Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, Teresita.

5. A CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECT'S REINVESTION OF A GOLDBLAND

Venice, for 500 years, has been a city of the dead. They seems to hang in the car, beauty can't be untangled from decline. All of that becomes found on San Michele, the island cemetery and final home of Erica Pound, Igor Struvinsky, Sergei Dlugishev and so many other Venetian adoptees.

But if one had the experience on this little island, wrapped by brick walls and flated with high cypereens, you'll find a new chapter in the life and death of an old city. The first of David Chipperfield, the Berlin-based British architect of continued monumentality, has spent decades renovating and extending Venice's eternal moving place. He first established its repetitive rows of graces into elegant court-moth, and then built an enmury and other service elements on a new extension. The same walls are of the same grey room familiar from Venice's churches, but inside, around the graves, are thin columns of caucotes.

This is very quiet architecture, in a city that can be very loud.

And yet, the restrained character of Chipperfield's court-moth has restored the romance of San Michele, where he so long, visitors to Venice reaped and marveled. On many visits to this city 70 pay San Michele so mind, chugging past its student brick elements on the wall, not to the airport. Chipperfield has remade the island of the dead as a place for the living.

MORE ART TO ENCOVER

• Scuola Grande di San Marco, San Polo: the Sixties Chapel of Venice, or maybe its Hall of Mirrors. Tintanetta's masterpiece, still currently underappreciated, turns the sacred story into a human labyrinth of painting designs and shining whims.

• Hirsti Typercher Macerens, San Marco: a splendid former membuat designed by Carlo Scarpa, hidden right on the city's main piazza. A central staircase has irregular steps that seem to float in the air; the floor is embedded with chips of Venetian glass.

• Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Castello: the usually quiet home of pastel paintings by Vittorio Carpascio. including the sublime 'Sintra Augustine in the family'. The first organ has his vision amid his books and acrobates and a cute little dog.

• Asia Maria Barona, (Surrusko): micro Scarpa, a university lecture hall this time, with a view of the Grand Canal. Modern wooden struts frame arched Gorba windows, the desks and chairs make a tame of careful wood joinery.

• Wagner Missions, Cannaragie: the apartment where the composer died, hidden (very well hidden) inside what is now a casino. Not much is original — there's a replica of the coach where he explores — but it's a source of decadence. • Municipal Garage, Palazzo Ronc: Yes, must be cutting down a parking garage, but this is one of the great works of modern Venetian architecture. Long ribbon windows and large hybrid ramps become hallmarks of Balnecdron; no wonder Mussolini came to inauguration. • Ribbletou Muntana, San Marco: one of the world's oldest and grandest libraries, but with almost none of the crowds at the Dago's Palace across the way, Tintanetta and Vonesese painted some of the philosophers on the walls.

• Auditorium 'La Sapere', San Giorgio Maggiore: One of the world's most graceful small concert halls, whose stage is limited by a glass wall giving onto the lagoon. Administered by the Giorgio Cité Foundation, which also puts on reliably smart art exhibitions.

The case of the poisoned guest

ROSENDALE, N.Y.

At this inn, a childlike love of play meets a murder mystery. And cocktails.

BY ALEXIS SNAJHE

On a spring afternoon, I sat beside anelling creek and waited for someone to die, violently.

This was at the Six Belle Countryside Inn, an I-treme Hudson Valley guest-house and tavern that opened last year in November. 7-11. A message based, I'd the beautifully separated household of Audrey Gelman, an entrepreneur best known as the co-locator of the Wing, a club and co-working guest tailored to women.

The Wing imploded during the pandemic — a consequence of that little but more and accusations that workers, particularly that of color, had not been around lately. These spaces were synonymous with a particular attribute, a plank minimalism. Six Belle, which has enabled and was widely independent of a wholly fictional English village, prefers lightly macabre catage-rock minimalism.

Like a lot of hotels where a room can run upward of 3000 per night, Six Belle sells a fantasy life most of these fantasies involve murder! Gelman's dads.

At least these quads and masts to pass, she loves the being of immersion they provide. Long before Six Belle opened, Gelman began building out its last at its sister stop, an upscale Brooklyn house where they can operate in 2023. At that telling, Six Belle is located in Barrett's Green, a quaint logbook where forever requested to a pretend fantasy invention after the invention of electric light and before admission.

If you are wondering how someone

Booms include amenities from a newspaper from Barrett's Green, the fictional English town where the mystery is set.

Has Gelman, who once out of the penal park creek of international business, ended up here, where the guests wanted by women to exclusively care and drive in an attractive tartan, better part in an org'n. Once the sun was up and coming, in June 2025, Gelman began planning an immersive experience: a murder mystery evening that would happen once a month.

'It is just a fundamental yearning people have, particularly as they get older, to have these experiences where they feel like they can be kids again,' Gelman said in a recent video call. 'I believe in these playful experiences we satisfy others they get on to life,' And at least one adult gets to pretend to be dead, a consequence of an obscure person.

Immersion is a recent trend in hospitality, a way to make a hotel experience feel distinct. The Mary & Rose Hospitality brand has partnered with 1,000,000

later Company in Los Angeles to create theatrical events for each new opening. Hotels are aimed at the Legaland properties and the Pierre offer theme dinners, bonfire nights, magic shows.

To some, Gelman reached out to the theater company What May Come to-morrow, having seen its work at the Harry Potter mansion in Pennsylvania, Gelman introduced Jacob Smith, the theater company's artistic director, to the fore, and then gave her free mix to create a classic murder mystery.

'That was a very hot task because we tend to do very dark, very serious hypervisation,' Smith said. Though this was an a separate call, weeks apart, Jan 28! echoed something Gelman had said. 'Jacob didn't have enough opportunities to play.'

Me, I love to play. And if you hand me a book, so someone did not find terrors, that is not actually a book, but a book safe, containing an invitation to a dinner

hold to Lady Ashbourne, the society moved at Barrett's Green, I will assess. This was then the mystery began.

'We introduce encouraged attendees to be in progress,' so after dropping an overnight bag in Limphight, a room designed to honor the forbidden love between a vicar and a mallewoman, Limphight also something less comfortable. The room's amenities included a Barrett's Green newspaper and a shopping guide ensuring that if a wealthier me wanted something to the room, like a quilt or a candleholder, I could have it. Then I went downstairs to the tavern to avoid the burr to 'Death for Women'.

The cocktail hour was awkward and the 20-some guests, who had interpreted cocktail aims as unconquered everything from greens to Kools, socialized ediffs, to the candlelit dining room (the gift shop superpaved), the mood immersed and a few guests gazed up, lobbed with the actors. The setup was a

dinner dinners to honor of Thomas Berwalt, a psychoanalyst who had recently moved to the village. There were stars of marital members, rivalries, her affairs. Unexpected guests arrived, to send the play turned. But everyone stayed alive through the first course, past the mirror and into dessert, served to the tavern.

Then at one someone died, and guests were given 12 minutes to question the suspects and solve the mystery.

Reactions among the guests varied. Some were eager — extremely eager — to play direction. 'That's too obvious!' A woman in black has obscured while disobeying one theory. Others, like a state of young women who were all separately on their phones, were non-sensitized, no amateur friend, with an accent from his wife, briskly identified the killer. Then the actors changed out of their costumes to single and post for selfies, murder forgotten.

The mystery tried had been a little ridiculous. On seeing deliberately shows, which made it a search for the gold forward, old-assessed space. That was remarkable was the story of the guests. After the show, most of them stayed in the bar for hours, some of them in their pajamas, chatting like old friends. I know so much about these people now! I had 18 marriages, their dating lives, their children, their careers. Please numbers and emails were exchanged. As I went up to bed, one woman was trying to persuade another to go out on a date with a friend of hers, whom she never was not too deep.

At 2009 par-road, I've spent no of lodging. I wouldn't describe the dinner and show as guest visits for the room's. But few of the guests seemed especially disappreciated and the evening provided an amenity that her hands can: a feeling of community. All it took was a little after-dinner poisoning.

Book has its detractors, but it is still among the Great American Novels

Narrated conversationally by Hidden

an lot recognition in California from a nervous breakdown, 'Catcher' describes a three-day special border following his expulsion from the fictional Prince's Press.

Before 'the Jim Read,' before 'The Bell Joe' before 'The Goldman' — the novel was a novel.

Hidden gets beat up by a classmate and, later, a pimp, jitterbugs with masters, to-whom in Rockefeller Center with a date; takes her to see the Leni-ze Broadway; fantasies that they like to the country; receives wisdom — and some uncomfortable intimacy — from former teachers, crinkers in a band and on a beach in Grand Central; gets chastely with mine and visits the tale and other landmarks.

Long before trauma trended, Hidden reserves his little brother, Alfie, dead of leukemia. He course his older brother, D.B., for selling out in Hollywood (which J.D. never forgave after Samuel Goldwyn mangled his short story 'Gordy Wiggly in Greenwich' into 'My French Heart') and is saved by their precession 50-year-old sister, Phoebe, who calls out his depression, 'You don't like anything,' she says.

The novel wasn't digitized till others, decade after Salinger's death in 2010 at 10, his was unwise to technology, though an avid witcher of television, and simply controlling of his publication process.

The red bunting cup Hidden wears came to never especially apt as his creator because grey for journalists and critics. Prime leaders had a 'mild' Salinger rapped him with almost six decades of deep freeze (and instead of highbush, size of his own army).

or dangling cigarettes. The author adored the first jacket design by his friend E. Michael Mitchell, featuring a recent-carnated horse like the one Phoebe rides; but would come to train an even platter than the Bible, which for some deadliest of young people, particularly men, is kind of because.

The darkest examples of this were a string of garners in the 1980s, sharing with Mark David Chapman, who was reading a copy when arrested for assassination, John Lennon. 'This is my statement,' he had written on the flybed.

Only the deranged could see 'Catcher' as a murderer for murder, but the novel is impossible to separate from the violence and brotherhood of World War II. Publication of Salinger's early story about Hidden, 'Hugh Rebelden Off Madison,' in his preferred venue, The New Yorker, was delayed five years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The novel was further drafted, along with Salinger, in the Army, where serving in the Fourth Infantry Division by nine horrific salvage and narrowed housing includes in part thanks to the word works laid by his beloved mother, Miriam (which changed her name from Marie for his Jewish father, Sol). The

book would be dedicated to her. Born in the United States, Salinger and his family, young Salinger carried pages around in his backpack while fighting in the second wave at Ohio Beach on Friday, the Battle of Balogun Forest, the Battle of the Beige, and helping to liberate the class. He emerged from a mental hospital after treatment for what was not so called post-traumatic stress disorder, only in part with uniform again and help with detoxification.

How profoundly disorienting it must have been in return to giddy, bustling Manhattan, where 'Catcher in the Rye' was born into a postwar publishing, advertising and retail boom. It was released with further by Little, Brown & Company and selected by the thoroughly and still adorable Book of the Beach Club.

The novel's title has an all-American stage of baseball that has reverberated worldly over the decades. N.P. Klondy, Jr.'s 'Mundies Joe,' adapted into the Revie Center sample 'Fred of Dreams,' had Salinger kidnapped to a baseball field.

But the title comes from Hidden's misquote of a Robert Burns poem, envisions

J.D. Salinger's novel was an overnight sensation and has sold 60 million copies.

By the time he was 22, Jerry was on-mancing Genu O'Neill, the daughter of Eugene the playwright, when she was 21, photographed drinking milk at the Stork Club. (She eventually sent the mark under Charles Chaplin.) After Salinger's brief marriage to a German eye doctor he was while displayed, the giggles began widening.

He pursued adolescent girls in his 30s, including one who would become his second wife and mother of his two children, Claire Douglas. Most enter-ready, he lived in a time with the writer Steve Maynard, after opening her photograph on the cover of The New York Times Magazine for a 2012 autobiographical essay titled 'An 18-Year-Old Looks Back on Life,' Salinger, at the time, was 32.

LIVING

Innovative winemakers starting over

The Pour

BY EMIL ASIMET

FRANCE, FRANCE features ideas waltz a tissue tightrope. One missing can bring it all crashing down. Consider the rags of what could in be known as Southold Farris & Collar.

This month, the raking, hardly can prehance has made wonderful wines in two entirely different places, in the North Park of Long Island in New York and then in Texas. Judging by the wines, Southold should have removed itself a long run in either place. And yet, after encountering unforeseen obstacles, Southold won't kill it all behind. Now, it has settled in France and is trying again in Bordeaux.

The Southold story illustrates the complexities of small family wine and desserts, the most popular. Southold has coached at making distinctive artisanal wines that explore the potential of a given role. From a winemaking perspective, it is all young and sick. Yet, it is still a business, subject to all his pitfalls. Surrealism and naive misjudgments that can affect any small company.

When I first met the proprietors, Bogan and Carry Mendez, 10 years ago, they had granted a vineyard full of grapes that nobody else on the North Park of Long Island was growing and were making some of the business, most unusual wines in the region. They were countercultural groundbreakers who were making an often humdrum engine by wave interacting.

But the local zoning initiatives

Christmas from above: the winemaker Bogan Mendez at his New York vineyard in 2018, with his wife Carry and two children, Ceratial and barney, in what was their Texas vineyard in 2019; and the Mendez is their current vineyard in the Bordeaux region of France, where they are trading the unlicensed U.S. frontier for restrictive traditions.

reported their application to build a small winery to response, they packed up everything and moved with their two young children, Ceratial and barney, to the Texas Hill Country. Before long, they were making delicious, innovative wines that diffused from wines after winter made in Texas.

It seemed not the hard road they had chosen was paying off.

The Mendez planned to be there for the long run. They planted a hillside vineyard, growing more than 20 kinds of grapes, like navels, petit manson and other unconventional varieties. They opened a strong wine, and eventually a restaurant, to showcase their wines.

'I got to make all the mistakes,' Mr. Mendez told me in 2008. When I visited Southold, 'My kids got to be there, not the grumbless got the benefit.'

But things took a disastrous turn over. But the vineyard fell victim to drought and Pierce's disease,

a bacterial disorder that can be controlled only by systemic symptoms. They kept that Mr. Mendez, who leaves a goodwill, paid regeneratively, did not want to take.

The restaurant business over-whelmed them, and to break even, their wine business would have had to grow well beyond what they had envisioned.

Instead, the Mendez decided that Texas was no longer for them. They sold almost everything they owned and, in August 2012, moved to France. There, with the proceeds they had earned from the sale of their Texas property, they bought a small vineyard and winery on the eastern edge of the Bordeaux region, in the gentle green hills of the awkwardly named Franco-Giles de Bordeaux appétitions.

As a fan of their wines, I wondered how the Mendez would adapt to this latest problem. In May, I visited Mr. Mendez at what is now simply called

Southold. I found him both excited by this new start and somewhat humbled and reflective.

'It's been a real word detoxification,' he said. The education in France caused him to miss the 2023 vintage, the first time in years he was not making or selling wine.

'That gave us time to ask what we still loved about all of this, and what we wanted to leave behind,' Mr. Mendez said. 'For example, I will never open a restaurant again. This does not mean Texas was a mistake. It was formative and important. But leaving forced us to separate the work we now learn the rest that had grown up around it.'

Then departure from Long Island had left him bitter, Mr. Mendez said. He arrived in Texas with things he given.

'I realized Texas was an attempt to save what we started in New York,' he said. 'I don't regret Texas. I'm afraid of the wines we made, but I lost sight of what was important.'

In that sense, he said, Texas was an aberration. Now, he says, he is closing the door on what they were doing in New York and truly starting over.

'I have the sense that this is where we've supposed to be,' he said. The property they found, with the aid of a French agency that helps people invest in rural properties, includes an old stone-and-wood barn

with a simple, functional winery and roughly (3 acres (six hectares) of vines. It was planted mostly with carols, though the previous owners had gone rogue and planted a little chartbottle, not a grape native to the region.

In Bordeaux, the Mendez have traded to the additional frontier of American winemaking, where the grapes you grew and the wines you make are limited only by your imagination, for the laws and hiddleshed traditions of Bordeaux.

In a sense, Mr. Mendez has in him a little Carrey Bercatto, the talented chef in 'The Bear,' who must learn to re-straze his creative impulses so that his

restaurant can survive and prosper. 'I'm trying to sell myself,' Mr. Mendez said. 'We had too many wines in Texas, with new proprietary names each year. I was having fun, but you have to respect the idea that not everybody has time for my creatures.'

Still, he is making changes to the vineyard, mostly with an eye to the warming climate and other potential calamities, like the widespread mildew attacks that devastated the 2024 vintage all over France.

He has grabbed over some of the merlot to coherent from, both traditional Bordeaux varieties, which ripen later than merlot and will die better in her vintages. But he is mentioning more of his full incontinence with wine grapes.

'Bordeaux has a much narrower white name, so there is more room to ask what actually makes sense here now,' he said. 'What can handle a wider range of vintages, stepwise this place and make compelling wine with our feeling unperceived or saved for its own take.'

To that end, he has used grafting to turn around three acres over to chaste blaze and an acre to the lure variety savaginal, both good grapes that will no history in Bordeaux. The hope, he said, is to figure out the best way to express the character of the place without ruffling too many feathers.

'There's been a little bit of the 'What are they doing?' aspect,' he said. 'I acknowledge the power of tradition. If the authorities are going to be on my bed, I'm not going to do it.'

Southold has now made two vintages, and only the '14, they by virtue of the mildew issue, has been broiled. But the wines have all the hobbies to the Southold style: both and lively, distinctive and dis-

their rivalry endouses terroir with centuries of tradition: Bordeaux.

The '24 La P'he Rouge is 100 percent merlot, close, pure and interesting with a lightly bitter herbal quality that propels you on to the next zip. The '25 charities say, which I turned from a tank, was particularly interesting, with a lovely, wavy woman.

'This is kind of saying its own thing — that's what I'm looking for,' Mr. Mendez said.

When the family left Texas in 2023, none of them spoke French, but they are adapting well. The family lives in the city of Bordeaux, where Citroën, 32, and Sawyer, 35, now school French public schools after starting in an international school.

'They love it here,' Mr. Mendez said. 'Our lives were handled on top of that hill in Texas. We've heard a community here easier than in Texas.'

Mr. Mendez has traded in his old Texas-size pickup truck, which he often drove six hours a day visiting vineyards, by an electric fan for the eliminate commons to the vineyard. He is aiming to make 24,000 to 30,000 bottles a year, since this amount he can handle himself, rather than the 84,000 bottles he was making in Texas.

Bordeaux is not fashionable right here. It may not be any winter to sell Bordeaux than it was to sell Long Island or Texas wines. But it is stagnant of small, instantaneous producers in Bordeaux are making exciting wines, and, of course, the region's distinctive terroir has been prized for centuries.

'My hope is, my area of France will be kind of a long, thoughtful project,' he said. 'I know I have skim in the game, but I genuinely think. Bordeaux could become one of the most enticing wines or organs in the world over the next three to five years, not because it needs to someone itself completely, but because people will start starting what has been hiding here all along.'

For the adaptable Caesar, cabbage works best

Its crunchiness is perfect as a partner to the dressing and makes the salad livelier

BY MELISSA CLARK

The allure of a Caesar salad lies in its 2018 year. The villing of two garlic, the salty savant of Parmesan, this anchovy kind. What you love it with is less important, as long as it's sturdy enough to bring that dressing to your mouth, any greasy and waxy just fruit.

Mild and crisp romaine has been the classic since the 2020s, when the salad was first put on the menu at Caesar's restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. It also Caesar's and Brussels uproats Caesar's had most moments, these ruffled leaves adding an earthy mineral mug. But I think cabbage works best in all.

Of all the greens, cabbage is the humour and crunchiness, with a pronounced contrast to the dressing that's both satisfyingly cured and a little uncooked. Cabbage makes this a juicy salad livelier to eat.

It also keeps well. Unlike romaine, the cabbage is still the moment it exerts the dressing, cabbage stands its greasy. I made the salad one crossing for dinner, then stuck the leftovers in the fridge. The next day, it was just as good — the

flavors more integrated, the cabbage, though softer, still gratifying in a nutritive kind of way.

If you do make this salad ahead, though, don't add the creations until serving. You want these to stay so crunchy as possible.

To further increase the crunch, I tear the bread rather than cut it. Torn bread has ragged, uneven edges that go extra crisp as they meet. Teasing the pieces with olive oil and a few tablespoons of grated Parmesan also helps the crunch. As the creations bake, the cheese melts into livelle, fifty patches using the edges. Use a spatula to scrape them up and hold them into the salad. These frissifies lots are arguably the best part.

As for the anchovies, to use they are nonrespirable in a Caesar salad. But sticklers will tell you that they're not actually traditional. The original recipe gained its native life from Worcestershire sauce (which contains anchovies). It's unclear when the salad fish made their way into the food, but now their pressure has been firmly established. That said, if you want to skip them, use caplets instead. Or above, or even long, all of which will add the necessary bristness.

You see, at its heart, Caesar salad is very adaptable. That's one reason it's been around for the past century — and it bakes well for the next.

CABBAGE CAESAR SALAD

FINE: 20 WINS (132) (FULLY WITH 6 GRINDS)

1 small baguette or chunk ofønterbagel bread (about 8 ounces), preferably day-old, torn or cut into bits-size pieces (about 4 cups)

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided ½ cup grated Parmesan, divided, more for garnish

1 fork and pepper 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste

4 anchovy fillets (or 1 teaspoon drained capers)

1 lid garlic clove, finely grated or minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ¼ cup mayonnaise

6 cups shredded cabbage or creosote mix (24 ounces)

1. Make the croutons. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Do a cremed sheet pan. Use limed pieces with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons cheese to coat evenly. Spread in an even layer, sprinkle lightly

with salt and bake until crunchy and evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. Taste a crouch and add more salt if needed. Use a spatula to scrape up any crunchy cheese stuck to the pan and stir into the warm croutons. Let croutons coat on the baking pan.

2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a blender or using an immersion blender, combine the lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and a pinch each salt and pepper, and pulse a few times to break up the anchovies.

3. Add the mayonnaise and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and blend until smooth. Taste and add more lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed.
