Kamran Khan, 75, a retired civil servant in Pakistan now living in Travilah, Md., on his 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, as told to A.J. Where I grew up, in Quetta, Pakistan, people loved American cars. This was the 1950s and early ’60s, and a lot of people didn’t even have a car. My family was very fortunate and we had a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.

☆ For Disabled Couples, a Plea for Marriage Equality
  + stars: | 2023-09-15 | by ( Tammy Lagorce | Kyna Uwaeme | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
On Wednesday afternoon, 20 couples gathered in front of a stage at the National Mall in Washington to recite their commitment vows. Some brides had on white gowns while grooms wore top hats. Others donned orange T-shirts printed with the words “Disability Rights Are Human Rights.”“We would like to get married and be able to go to the doctor,” they chanted in unison. “We would like to get married and not end up living in a cardboard box.”Their combined voices might not have been loud enough for lawmakers at the Capitol, visible in the distance, to hear. But that, too, is something the couples and about 80 supporters who watched the Disabled Marriage Equality Now rally from lawn chairs would have liked.

☆ Biden Is Talking to Howard University Students. But Does He Speak to Them?

The mother-son split mirrors a broader generational divide among Black voters on President Biden, who needs their support as he runs for re-election. Although Black voters were a key constituency that sent Mr. Biden to the White House in 2020, polls show that Black voters under 30 have far less enthusiasm for Mr. Biden than their elders do. The Democratic National Committee said it has invested in reaching young Black voters through a variety of initiatives, including issuing grants to states to expand voter registration and hiring campus organizers in battleground states. The New York Times spoke to students at Howard, the renowned historically Black university, in the days leading up to Mr. Biden’s commencement address there on Saturday. Most of them said they would still vote for Mr. Biden rather than a Republican.

Dystany Spurlock , of Goldvein, Va., on her Buell National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock drag-racing motorcycle, as told to A.J. I have worked as an actor, a model and I drive a tractor trailer. One thing I have always wanted to do was race Pro Stock NHRA motorcycles, which is the top-ranked motorcycle drag-racing series in the world. I have been drag racing bikes for a long time at lower levels, and last year I was with a team and things were not going as planned. I learned through one of my sponsors about someone selling a Pro Stock team.
