☆ Why ‘Show Boat’ Is America’s Most Enduring, Unstable Musical
▼ + stars: | 2025-01-08 | by ( Joshua Barone | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Still, “Show Boat” traded in blackface performance and other types of casual racism that have long been discomfiting, and a source of controversy. These complications are just a few reasons that “Show Boat” has endured. It was quickly revived after its first run, adapted into multiple films, and has appeared on New York and global stages every decade since. The latest revival, by Target Margin Theater, called “Show/Boat: A River,” begins performances on Thursday at NYU Skirball, in partnership with the Under the Radar festival. As the title suggests, this will not be an old-fashioned “Show Boat.” While retaining the skeleton of the original musical at a smaller scale, “Show/Boat: A River” aims to reimagine it for the here and now.

☆ Opinion | Now Is the Time to Reimagine Lebanon
▼ + stars: | 2025-01-07 | by ( Michel Helou | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

After the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, I couldn’t wait to make the two-hour drive from Beirut to Damascus and witness the end of this 54-year dictatorship. Now the Lebanese face a historic opportunity for their country to stop being a battleground and finally become common ground — a united, functioning, sovereign nation. No matter how enormous the challenges, and no matter how critical foreign support will be, I am convinced Lebanon’s fate is largely in our own hands. Syria under Mr. Assad and before him his father, Hafez al-Assad, never considered Lebanon to be an independent country. As an occupier starting in 1976, it meddled in our elections, undermined our chosen governments, fostered corruption and threatened, detained and, many suspect, assassinated Lebanese opponents.

My ex-husband and I separated, and I moved into an apartment near our family home. I found that after a decade as primary caregiver, having my own space was transformative. Social narratives still expect mothers, particularly primary caregivers like me, to stay in the family home. Having my own space for the first time in over a decade of caregiving has been nothing short of transformative. It's where I can finally work in my own office, free from the clutter of chaotic family life.

In 2012, the now 47-year-old self-made millionaire was earning enough in passive and portfolio income to retire from his 9-to-5 at age 34. Leg 1: Tax-advantaged savingsA vestige from the traditional model, a tax-advantaged retirement account, such as a 401(k), is still an essential tool for retirement savers, Dogen says. That could contribute to an early retirement, if that's your goal, or it could lift some of the burden off your tax-advantaged accounts for providing retirement income. If possible, Dogen says to contribute even more to these accounts than your maximum retirement contributions — an admittedly tall ask for many employees. But if you can, aim for this portion of your portfolio to double or triple your retirement accounts in value by the time you're 60 years old, he says.

☆ What is impoundment? How Trump thinks he can control spending without Congress
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-18 | by ( Zachary B. Wolf | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

CNN —“Impoundment” is another word that Americans may need to learn in the vernacular of President-elect Donald Trump’s second term. Trump took the time to record a video about impoundment during the Republican primary season, and he promised seizing control over spending from Congress would be a top priority if he was elected. Impoundment occurs when Congress appropriates money that the president then declines to spend. As a result of these standoffs, Congress passed a law to curtail a president’s use of impoundment, particularly for policy reasons. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 did a lot more than that, however.
