Today, 60 years since she took that ride with Neal Cassady, Mountain Girl is still forging her own path. Before I leave Kesey's farm, Mountain Girl and I walk outside to the old brown barn where Furthur now rests.

Now, the United States is going after China's advanced computing and supercomputer industry. The provision called the foreign direct product rule, or FDPR, was first introduced in 1959 to control trading of U.S. technologies. So they expanded the FDPR to control trade of chips made using U.S. technology or tools. The latest move would ban any semiconductor manufacturing firm that uses American tools - which most do - from selling advanced chips to China, said Karl Freund, a chip consultant at Cambrian AI who watches the supercomputing space. In that case, it could take China five to 10 years to catch up to today's technology, he added.

The Bank said it had seen "dysfunction" in the market for long-dated gilts and that it would buy as many as necessary to rectify the situation. Ratings agency Moody's also weighed in on Tuesday, saying the unfunded tax cuts were "credit negative" and likely to weigh on growth. "This move from the Bank of England won't stem moves against the UK debt and currency markets on their own," said Mike Owens, global sales trader at Saxo Markets. "While this is welcome, the fact that it needed to be done in the first place shows that the UK markets are in a perilous position," said Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics.

Automakers are also investing capital in off-road models and electric vehicles. "In the transition to electric vehicles, and where do automakers put their development money, it just isn't going to convertibles." Even counting those vehicles, sales last year were down by 26% since 2015. Jim Owens, head of Ford Mustang marketing, said only about 15% of the car's sales to consumers — 72,500 units in 2019 — are convertibles. Could we see a possible convertible electric Challenger in the future?

The welfare funds in question were part of the $86 million Mississippi is given each year by the federal government to lift families out of poverty. The state auditor uncovered $77 million in misspent welfare funds in February 2020. The text messages, which were part of a filing by New's attorney, do not establish that Favre knew the public funds discussed were welfare money. The newly released text messages indicate Bryant, a Republican, was much more involved in the project as governor than previously known. She would pay Favre $1.1 million in state funds directly and he would do a few radio ads.

Mr. Brinsky said he and Mr. Bowers, 46, grew up together but that he never met Mr. Bowers’s parents and got the impression that Mr. Bowers had a difficult home life. They drifted apart by the time they got to Baldwin High School, where Mr. Brinsky said Mr. Bowers wore a camouflage jacket and drifted alone through the halls. Mr. Bowers is not listed in any activities or sports in his 1989 junior-class yearbook, and he does not appear in the next year’s book as a senior at all. “He was pretty much a ghost,” Mr. Brinsky said. Mr. Bowers said he worked as a truck driver and needed the apartment primarily to store his stuff, Ms. Owens said.
