This week, Vanity Fair published a bombshell article revealing that Cormac McCarthy, one of the country’s most celebrated and enigmatic novelists, had a relationship with a girl he met when he was 42 and she was 16, a foster child who felt so unsafe at home she often carried a gun and used the pool area at the motel where he was staying to shower. The revelations in the article stunned many fans of the famously inscrutable author, but did not come as a surprise to close friends of McCarthy’s or the tight-knit community of scholars who have studied his life and work. McCarthy’s relationship with Augusta Britt lasted nearly until his death in 2023, and came up in his letters over the years. Dianne C. Luce, who has written several books about McCarthy, said she and another McCarthy scholar, Edwin T. Arnold, learned about McCarthy’s relationship with Britt around 40 years ago, during an interview with a friend of McCarthy’s. Over the years, she saw the relationship come up in the author’s letters to his literary friends, among them Robert Coles, Guy Davenport and Mark Morrow.

Wealthy millennials and Gen Z are redefining philanthropy

Wealthy millennials and Gen Zers are redefining the world of charitable giving, seeing themselves more as activists than donors, according to a new study. Older donors give from of a sense of responsibility. Those over the age of 44 were more than twice as likely to give due to "obligation" than younger donors. Those under 43 were more likely to cite self-education and the influence of their social circle as drivers of their philanthropy. The younger wealthy are still building their fortunes and inheriting their wealth, so they're more likely to give their time and help fundraise.

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended Senator Dianne Feinstein for remaining in office after a series of health issues, dismissing concerns about Ms. Feinstein’s continued ability to serve as a sexist double standard. Speaking to Politico for an article published Thursday, Ms. Pelosi stressed that the California senator, a longtime colleague and neighbor, was “doing OK” and minimized Ms. Feinstein’s recent fall, for which she was briefly hospitalized, as a “very little fall, it was like nothing.”She suggested that the criticisms of Ms. Feinstein, 90, and questions related to her eventual retirement were gendered. “It’s OK, you know, they can vote, and it’s all they need to do,” Ms. Pelosi, 83, said of the rationalizations offered for male elected officials who have faced age-related health concerns. “And then Dianne comes along and then they’re making such a fuss? It’s a guy thing, but that’s the way the world is.”

Dianne Cox and Michael Cammer don’t particularly like being married, which is not to say they dislike it. “We’re happy together,” Mr. Cammer said. A happy couple gets married and it doesn’t screw up their relationship.” Neither ever bought into the idea that love and marriage were a package deal, or that one should automatically lead to the other. Dr. Cox and Mr. Cammer are scientists, which might explain their ultrarational approach toward their relationship. Dr. Cox is a professor of developmental and molecular biology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.
