I moved to Italy in my 20s after a summer study abroad in Rome during my senior year of college. The most shocking cultural differences are the little things in daily lifeA big part of the "la dolce vita" concept is that life moves slower. Italy isn't as "online" as the US, so you're better off going to a place in person rather than trying to call or email. AdvertisementThe traditional Italian home, which is pretty tiny, isn't designed for people to spend a lot of time there. Seeing the way Italians live, though, has left me in awe of the typical American home, decorated to personal taste with private green space.

The Army is doing what it can to make it easier for its football team and the man in charge.

Army coach Jeff Monken, 57, is the second-winningest coach in program history. And Jeff Monken is still the Army football coach.

The best and worst developments in public health have always come from moments of crisis. But many of the elixir victims were very young children, and agency officials wasted no time spinning the incident up into a national crisis. The public grew skeptical of the effort when the vaccines were linked to an extremely rare but serious side effect. “It was supposed to be this great triumph,” says Joshua Sharfstein, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and author of “The Public Health Crisis Survival Guide.” “But it ended up seeding a generation of vaccine hesitancy instead.” The takeaway from these and similar parables is clear, Dr. Sharfstein says: Crisis can be a powerful catalyst for shaping policy and improving society. The United States is in what can only be described as an epoch of crisis.

Earlier this month, as he prepared to give one of the most important speeches of his political career, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany appeared before Parliament in a suit that appeared at least a size or two too large. Mr. Scholz has never seemed a natural fit as chancellor. He was an unlikely selection to lead his Social Democratic Party four years ago. Now, his popularity has sunk, his government has broken up, and Mr. Scholz finds himself fighting for his political life. Mr. Biden eventually stepped aside, and his replacement on the ballot, Vice President Kamala Harris, lost in November to former President Donald J. Trump.
