Up the carpeted stairs, past the tuxedoed photographers, Anna Wintour stood at the top of the steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute benefit. “Your royal highnesses,” Baz Luhrmann, the Australian film director, said as he approached Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth, who were standing in a receiving line with Ms. Wintour. The space had been transformed by greenery, filled with string musicians and dancers, creating a “Midsummer Night’s” dreamscape just off Fifth Avenue. “How is it out there?” Ms. Wintour said, adding, “You look incredible.”One by one, the stratospherically famous faces that captivate imaginations worldwide walked carefully up the stairs and stopped to talk to the row of co-chairs. (Zendaya, the fifth co-chair, did not make it to the perch.)

☆ Powerball jackpot hits $1 billion. Here's how to pick between the lump sum or annuity if you win
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The Powerball jackpot is officially $1 billion — the fifth-largest prize in the game's history — without a winner from Saturday night's drawing. If you win the grand prize by matching all six numbers, you'll have two payout options: a lump sum of $483.8 Million or annuitized payments worth $1 billion. Both are pretax estimates. While the lump sum offers an upfront payout, the annuity includes one immediate sum followed by 29 annual payments with a 5% increase per year. "Between Uncle Sam and the winner's home state, that headline number could be cut in half by the time it reaches their hands."

[1/2] A Boeing logo is seen at the 54th International Paris Airshow at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, France, June 18, 2023. The move comes more than three years after it pulled out of a billion-dollar deal to buy the commercial division of local planemaker Embraer (EMBR3.SA). Boeing sees both firms aligned in the goal of developing Brazil's aerospace ecosystem. Boeing's expansion in the South American nation led two domestic defense and aerospace industry groups to sue the U.S. company for hiring local talent, a move they see harming Brazil's industry. Both groups have Embraer as a member,Boeing defended its move, saying its presence will boost Brazil's aerospace ecosystem.

Those institutions and practices bound Americans together in a world below our more divisive national politics. Even if there is a border crisis, for example, the state of Wyoming can’t do much about it. Despite that obstacle, the old guard is having some success defending its own way of doing politics. Of course, on their own, such rear-guard tactics won’t be enough to save the Wyoming way. Champions of the old way must also do the hard work of aggressively recruiting local candidates and precinct committee chairs.
