☆ How a gag order showdown explains everything about Trump
  + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Stephen Collinson | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
“He knows what he’s not allowed to do, and he does it anyway.”Conroy was referring to Trump’s incessant testing of a gag order protecting witnesses, court staff and the jury. “Michael Cohen is a convicted liar and he’s got no credibility whatsoever,” Trump said in an interview with WPVI Philadelphia. Trump could face a ladder of escalating sanctionsProsecutors now want Merchan to fine Trump $1,000 for each of 10 alleged violations of the gag order and to warn that imprisonment could be an option if he continues to flout restrictions. Trump claims the gag order stifles his right to free speech and to campaign as a presumptive party nominee. And while a dispute over one partial gag order might seem like a small wrinkle in an individual case, it conveys a wider truth about Trump’s impact on American life.

☆ Opinion: The unwelcome topic at this year’s Thanksgiving table
  + stars: | 2023-11-17 | by ( Opinion Joan Steinau Lester | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —My wife and I were recently invited to Thanksgiving dinner at the home of a friend. Nearly everyone is confronted by intensely emotional conflicts, with the upheaval roiling workplaces, college campuses, schools and other places. Arguments over Israel are nothing new, but the rifts are deeper and more lacerating than I can ever remember. In one particularly painful and personal case, a dear friend and I have disagreed for decades about antisemitism and Israel. Love may find a way, if not to move mountains, at least to allow space for durable resolutions.

☆ Renata Scotto Spun an Actor’s Insight Into Vocal Gold
  + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Oussama Zahr | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Scotto contained multitudes, and that extended to her vocal categorization, too. Some have described her as a lyric by fach and a spinto by temperament, attributing her vocal decline — inevitable for any singer — to the irreconcilability of the two. Her Cio-Cio-San in Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly,” preserved on two studio recordings, exploits the permeable boundary among those voice types. The progress is not linear; her voice responds to hopes and doubts that the heroine continually surfaces and suppresses. Scotto’s morbidezza — her ability to inflect her middle voice with captivating softness — was arguably her most impressive quality.

☆ Everyone Likes Reading. Why Are We So Afraid of It?
  + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( A.O. Scott | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Among Douglass’s most powerful and painful revelations is that, on the subject of reading, his master was right. Substitute “reading” for “freedom” in that last sentence and the meaning stays the same. Reading liberates and torments us, enlightens and bewilders us, makes and unmakes our social and solitary selves. The methods of reading instruction associated with Columbia University’s Teachers College were in full bloom there. The rooms were furnished with well-stocked, low-slung bookshelves and carpeted risers where young readers could curl up with “just-right books,” selections matched to their interests and levels of proficiency.

☆ Opinion: Why US presidential debates have lost their luster
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Julian Zelizer | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —Former President Donald Trump is considering sitting out one or both of the first two Republican primary debates, three sources told CNN. Julian Zelizer CNNMeanwhile, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) doesn’t have any primary debates scheduled – a move that helps President Joe Biden and hurts his challengers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson. That would be a departure from the norm, since debates have been a big part of presidential politics since World War II. Meanwhile, the Republican primary debates in 2016 often felt like professional wrestling matches as Trump hammered away at a crowded field. The 2020 debates were not quite as thrilling, even though they continued to play a key role in the election.
☆ ‘The Menu’ Review: Umami Comedy
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A lot of teasing is aimed at pompous food snobs these days, but not nearly enough. The black comedy “The Menu” is a wicked treat aimed at those who roll their eyes whenever foodies refer to a steak as “the protein,” stop mid-bite to say things like “I’m getting bergamot here” or lasciviously photograph their meals. Like the similarly themed “Triangle of Sadness” earlier this fall, “The Menu” is a darkly misanthropic fable, recalling the lacerating sensibility of mad European art movies of the 1960s and ’70s. Though its black comedy is a bit nonsensical in spots, it’s certainly one of the most memorable cinematic experiences of the year. If parts of the film are as weird as the “breadless bread plate” that vexes its hungry characters, it’s also as fulfilling as the cheeseburger that plays a vital supporting role.
