ON A LATE-SUMMER MORNING, I stepped onto the clay courts of the newly opened Rafa Nadal Tennis Center in Marbella, Spain, ready for my first lesson. It had been a few years since I was last on a court, and I’d arrived at this gleaming Mediterranean resort town both eager—and wary—to see what kind of game I could recapture. My instructor, Javier, greeted me cheerfully. After a few warm-up exercises, he suggested we hit some balls to assess my game. It was not pretty.

The Timeless Appeal of Puerto Vallarta Original
I first traveled to the Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta because of a decades-old, black-and-white movie. On a frigid winter night, as I was flipping channels in my Manhattan apartment, I stumbled across a showing of " The Night of the Iguana " on Turner Classic Movies. This 1964 adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play, directed by John Huston and starring Richard Burton and Ava Gardner, was not exactly a film classic. The story was overheated; the acting even more so.

Met Gala 2023: Karl Lagerfeld, Prophet of Fashion and Fame, Meets Fashion and Fame’s Biggest Night
That today’s Met Gala is devoted to the work of a single designer for only the 10th time in the 52-year history of the event may be a little surprising to most fashion observers. It most likely would not have been to the person receiving that honor: Karl Lagerfeld, the longtime Chanel designer, all around omni-hyphenate, and master of self-regard, who died in 2019 at 85.
Addio a Angela Lansbury. La leggendaria interprete de La signora in giallo si è spenta alla stessa età della Regina
Il film valse a Lansbury la prima delle sue tre nomination agli Oscar. L'anno successivo ricevette la seconda, per Il ritratto di Dorian Gray , e nel 1963 ottenne la terza per aver interpretato il ruolo di una madre diabolica nell'agghiacciante thriller politico ambientato durante la Guerra Fredda Va' e uccidi, diretto di John Frankenheimer. Dettaglio curioso: Lansbury, allora 37enne, aveva solo due anni in più di Laurence Harvey, l'attore che nella pellicola interpretava suo figlio.

Who Will Be the First Black Woman on the Supreme Court?
Jackson, 51, currently a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, is widely considered the current front-runner. One possible key factor in her candidacy: the bipartisan support for her recent elevation to the country’s second-most-powerful court.
The Imperfect Martyrdom of Liz Cheney
On Wednesday, House Republicans are expected to vote to strip Liz Cheney, representative from Wyoming, of her leadership role. The vote, should it transpire, will inflict the party’s punishment for refusing unquestioning fealty to former president Donald Trump, and it will derail a political career that had been on a fast track ever since her election to Congress in 2016.
After George Floyd, President Joe Biden Once Again Embraced His Role as Consoler-in-Chief
Shortly after the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial on Tuesday—the former police officer found guilty on all three charges of killing George Floyd, an unarmed Black man—members of the Floyd family and their associates gathered in the hallway of the Minneapolis courthouse to absorb the gravity of this long-awaited pronouncement. Then, a cellphone went off. It was President Joe Biden, calling George Floyd’s brother Philonise to offer both congratulations and comfort.

Michigan Was My Pandemic Refuge—How Did It Get So Scary?
A few mornings ago, I woke up to a news alert from The New York Times: “Michigan’s Virus Cases Are Out of Control.” As the paper noted in its alarming first few paragraphs: “Nowhere in America is the coronavirus pandemic more out of control than in Michigan. Outbreaks are ripping through workplaces, restaurants, churches, and family weddings. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients.
Oscars 2021: When History Intervenes, Does the Show Go On?
Eighty years ago, the producers of the 1941 Oscars faced a dilemma. A global war was going on, one that would eventually kill more than 75 million people, including 290,000 Americans. Was this any time to put on an awards show? At first, the answer was no. But then, after a few weeks’ deliberation, the producers came up with a compromise: The show would go on, but it would be scaled back and stripped of most of its glamour.

Everything You Need to Know About Republican Efforts to Restrict Voting in 2022
In the 2020 election, Joe Biden won the presidency with a history-making 81 million votes and the Democrats took back the U.S. Senate with two upset victories in Georgia, largely thanks to three crucial factors: record voter turnout, an expansion of absentee and advance-day voting, and hugely successful voter-registration drives. The Republican Party is trying to make sure none of that is repeated in 2022.
Who Is Kathy Hochul, the Soon-To-Be First Female Governor of New York?

Globos de Oro 2021: 7 cosas que podemos adivinar de la carrera por los Oscar 2021
En esta temporada de premios tan atípica, con tan pocas películas proyectadas físicamente en los cines y sin anécdotas de alfombra roja que diseccionar, se hace más difícil que nunca predecir quiénes se llevarán a casa el Oscar cuando por fin se celebre la ceremonia de este año, retrasada por la pandemia al 25 de abril. En medio de este vacío llegaron los Globos de Oro –aunque un mes después, por los protocolos anti-Covid– para arrojar algo de luz sobre la carrera por los .
With ‘Elegiac’ CPAC Speech, Did Donald Trump Send a Signal His Time Might Finally Be Up?
There was something very strange about Donald Trump’s speech at CPAC on Sunday, his first public outing since departing the White House on the morning of January 20, just hours before Joe Biden was inaugurated: It was boring. The former president is never comfortable speaking from a teleprompter, often reacting like this is the first time he has seen the words he is speaking.
Oscars 2021: The 7 Things the Golden Globes May Have Told Us About the 2021 Oscars
In an awards season like no other, with few films in actual theaters and with no red carpet events to build buzz, it's harder than ever to predict who might walk home with Oscar gold when this year's pandemic-delayed ceremony finally takes place on April 25.

This Week, Merrick Garland Gets the Senate Confirmation Hearing Denied Him Five Years Ago
Almost exactly five years after he was nominated to the United States Supreme Court by President Barack Obama, Judge Merrick Brian Garland finally got his Senate confirmation hearing on Monday. This time around, of course, Garland’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee is not to debate his worthiness as a Supreme Court nominee, but for the Senate to decide whether it will confirm him as President Joe Biden’s nominee for attorney general.
The Heroes of the Impeachment Hearings Were the Children of Immigrants
“I am an immigrant.” When Representative Ted Lieu, one the nine House impeachment managers charged with the prosecution of Donald J.

Who Is Fani Willis, the Georgia Prosecutor Now Investigating Donald Trump for Possible Election Tampering?

ホワイトハウスのジェン・サキ米大統領報道官について知っておくべき8つのこと。 | Vogue Japan
去る1月20日、ホワイトハウスの記者会見室では、新任のジェン・サキ大統領報道官が集まった記者たちからの質問を受けていた。その姿は、前任者のやり方からの完全な決別を示すものだった。 ケイリー・マケナニー前報道官がホワイトハウスで最後に記者会見を行ったのは1月7日。追いつめられた状況の最中であった。マケナニー前報道官は、丸2分間にわたって国会議事堂への暴徒の乱入を非難する声明を読み上げ、その中で「昨日、私たちの国会議事堂で起きた暴力は、おぞましく、非難されるべきものであり、アメリカ的な方法の対極にあるものです」と述べた。その後、前報道官は質問を受けることもなく、記者会見室を後に。それ以来、ドナルド・トランプの大統領任期最終日まで、ホワイトハウスを担当する報道関係者が得た中身のある情報といえば、「トランプ大統領は早朝から夜遅くまで働き、何本も電話をかけ、多くの会議を開くでしょう」というだけの、ごく短い毎日の通知だけだった。...

Jamie Raskin Has Lived Through an Unimaginable Tragedy. It Hasn’t Stopped Him From Pursuing the Impeachment of Donald Trump
On Tuesday, January 6th, as Congress began its 117th session—one day before a Trump-encouraged mob stormed the U.S. Capitol—Representative Jamie Raskin had to carry out a duty unimaginable to any parent: He and his wife laid to rest their 25-year-old son, who had committed suicide on New Year's Eve.

A New Biography Examines the Turbulent Genius of Mike Nichols
The first Broadway play I ever saw was a matinee performance of David Rabe’s Streamers, a shattering tale of masculinity, racism, and homophobia set during the Vietnam War that was playing at Lincoln Center in the summer of 1976. I walked out of that theater stunned and not sure what to do next, so I walked around the city for what must have been hours, trying to absorb what I had just seen.

The 6 Times During His Presidency That House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Schooled Donald Trump
