☆ When Courtly Love Goes Wrong, It’s Deadly

Compared to the dour, dutiful sewing circle serving Katherine of Aragon at the British court, the French matriarchs were pistols. “Anne found herself in a world in which women could exercise power in strikingly different ways,” write Guy and Fox. Stereotyped by convention as a conniving hustler bent on building the Boleyn brand, Thomas is positioned more interestingly here as a kind of geopolitical Zelig. It would prove the right time to catch the eye of the strapping 34-year-old king. Henry had never before encountered a woman as dazzling as Anne, with her French flair and intellectual self-confidence.

One of the things that we’re really proud of is that we’re telling Stoner’s story for the first time. One of the key things we try to answer in this book is: What would Stoner think about what’s going on today? Why is it that the AR-15 became this symbol, and not some other gun? Going back to the 1994 assault weapons ban, the AR-15 was kind of an afterthought at the time. We really wanted to show the impact on their lives.

☆ After a Long and Painful Absence, Writing Her Way Home Again

By her early 30s she had earned a law degree from Harvard, an M.F.A. from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and a PEN/Hemingway Award for her lauded debut novel, “The Grass Dancer.” Then Mona Susan Power’s world went dark. But depression, anxiety, and what she would later learn to identify as complex P.T.S.D. led her to withdraw almost completely from a life she felt increasingly ill-equipped to handle in the wake of “The Grass Dancer’s” success. If you’re not prepared for it, if you don’t really believe that you deserve it … the whole impostor syndrome thing, it just got worse.

☆ Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg's cage fight vow is the latest example of how martial arts are taking hold of Silicon Valley tech bros

Tech executives including Mark Zuckerberg and PayPal's Dan Schulman have taken up martial arts. Zuckerberg is now sizing up Elon Musk as his latest opponent, as the pair agreed to go head-to-head in a cagefight. Danny Zelig trains PayPal CEO Dan Schulman in Krav Maga, which was developed by the Israeli army. Zelig said that in sparring sessions, Schulman would often wait to for him to strike, which let Zelig dictate the fight. She added that the training helped her to focus on the present and develop distance from her work in her "own version of mindfulness."

Tech executives including Mark Zuckerberg and PayPal's Dan Schulman have taken up martial arts. The combat techniques mirror the pace and intensity of the tech industry, one former exec said. Zelig added that Krav Maga helped to build self-awareness, which is important when it comes to decision-making, especially under stress. She added that the training helped her to focus on the present and develop distance from her work in her "own version of mindfulness." He said it's been "invaluable" in helping him negotiate complex partnerships in his former business-development roles at LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Skype.

I think I’m still answering it. I’m absolutely fascinated by this question, because I think I have an answer, and I don’t think it has ever been well answered. Since we’re talking about how things work: How do you want your new album to work for people? You have to take that on board as being one of the things that’s happening in culture and quite different from the story that we’re generally hearing. I don’t think many people take that as seriously as I do.
