Passengers traveling through Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday were confronted with cancellations and hourslong delays as disruptions to air traffic there extended into a second week. Low clouds on Monday prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to pause departures of planes heading to Newark, leading to delays averaging four hours and exacerbating the travel chaos…
The largest single taxpayer in the Catskills is New York City. To protect its drinking water — 90 percent of which comes from Catskills watersheds — the city spent nearly three decades accumulating 156,350 acres of forest and fields. It’s an area larger than all the land in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan combined….
Last October, when the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute announced its next fashion show, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the political landscape looked very different. Kamala Harris, the first female vice president and the first Black woman ever to top a major-party ticket, was in the final weeks of her campaign for the White House….
Jairo Perez walked out of the parking lot of God’s Waiting Room Church in Altadena, Calif., on a recent Saturday with his 9-year-old son, each with matching bandages in the crook of their elbows. They had just gotten their blood drawn to test for lead exposure. Two months ago, the family returned to their home…
And yet, perhaps after simply being confronted with the possibility of Jessie’s demise, I’ve developed a new fondness for her. Jessie doesn’t pretend to be the ideal woman; she has less in common with the imperfectly perfect Alexa than she does the deep, resonant and pompously put-on voice of authority that Laurie Anderson cultivated in…
To the people who know it, the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego is not a page of history — it’s a chapter. Opened in 1888 by Elisha Babcock and Hampton Story, it was then the largest hotel in the world. The owners set out to create a resort that would “be the talk of…
Good morning. The rhubarb’s beginning to pop by the fence where it always grows, but it’s still a few weeks from its delicious adolescence. That’s OK. I know there are farmers who force it, and I’m happy to pay them for their labor. I’ve been dreaming of rhubarb pound cake (above) for months, astringency against…
You’re sweaty and sore, and just hoisting your gym bag onto your shoulder makes you groan. The workout was exhausting, but was it effective? Many trainers and athletes have long believed that lifting to failure — the moment when you can’t complete another repetition of an exercise — is the best way to build muscle….
Part of this transformation can be traced to the shift from Hutcheson’s moralized happiness principle to Jeremy Bentham’s more radically subjective one, which gained traction in the early 19th century. Bentham’s version of the “greatest happiness for the greatest number” recast happiness as an arithmetic of feelings, something that could, in theory, be measured and…
The feud between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice, her “Real Housewives of New Jersey” castmate and sister-in-law, has been simmering for more than a decade. Giudice takes pains to point out Gorga’s perceived transgressions, citing rumors of infidelity, gold-digging and a past life as a stripper (all of which Gorga has denied) in fights that…
