ROYAL REFORM RE “THE AUTOCRAT’S Ascent” [April 16]: This story is highly welcome and timely to diffuse the anxiety and reservation of the puritanical Wahabi Saudi Arabia that the world has been accustomed to over the years. The crown prince, a shrewd choice of the ailing monarch to succeed him, is a breath of fresh air to the young men and women of Saudi Arabia who realize drastic changes for a moderate form of Islam are now just around the corner. He is overdue bringing good fortune to that country and consequently the rest of the world. Long may he reign. Ronen Ghose, GRANGE PARK, ENGLAND RESIST THE NAME GAME RE “WHY ‘LATINX’ HAS SUCceeded Where Other New Labels Have Failed” [April 16]: Political correctness has reached new heights of absurdity with the kerfuffle…

‘We are not coming here to teach Italians how to make coffee.’ HOWARD SCHULTZ, Starbucks CEO, confirming that the chain will open its first Italian location, in Milan, in September ‘Find a different way to annoy them. Preferably by scoring some goals, that way would be the best way.’ BRUCE CASSIDY, Boston Bruins coach, on how he relayed a warning from the NHL to player Brad Marchand, who had been licking opponents’ faces ‘The theme to me is like, Be yourself. You were made in God’s image, right?’ LENA WAITHE, actor and producer, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute gala; this year’s theme dovetailed with the opening of the exhibition “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” ‘THEY FUNNELED THROUGH A LAWFIRM,AND THE PRESIDENT REPAID IT.’ RUDOLPH GIULIANI, former mayor of New York City…

Are American voters acting normal again?

EVER SINCE DONALD TRUMP CAME ALONG, politics has been upside down and backward, the conventional wisdom rendered useless and the old rules thrown out the window. Political professionals regard the American voter warily, never sure when the next weird surprise might come. Would Republicans vote for a man accused of pursuing teens for sex? Roy Moore nearly won a Senate seat in Alabama despite such allegations, which he denies. Could a Democrat capture a congressional district Trump won by 20 points? Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania did just that. In these topsy-turvy times, anything is possible. And so, on May 9, the so-called experts braced for the latest insanity. But instead, in the first major round of primary voting ahead of this fall’s midterm elections, Republican and Democratic voters made generally conventional…

Armenia’s peaceful protester takes power in a bloodless revolution

ON MAY 8, PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTESTER Nikol Pashinyan was appointed interim Prime Minister of Armenia, the tiny Moscow-friendly former Soviet state bordering Turkey, Georgia, Iran and Azerbaijan. Pashinyan, 42, has been praised for staging a peaceful revolution to topple a long-term leader. Now he must grapple with the reality of governing in Russia’s shadow. RABBLE ROUSER Pashinyan first received attention as a student journalist in the 1990s, railing against corruption and an entrenched elite. He later founded and edited the country’s leading opposition newspaper and was briefly imprisoned in 2009 for his involvement in street protests. Pashinyan went on to found his own party, Civil Contract, which was elected to parliament as part of an opposition coalition in 2017. VELVET REVOLT In April, Pashinyan led 10 days of peaceful demonstrations across the country…

Melania Trump to focus on kids First Lady Melania Trump on May 7 unveiled a campaign called “Be Best,” which she said would aim to help children by encouraging social, emotional and physical health. Her choice to include cyberbullying in the platform drew attention because of the President’s tendency to use insults on social media. Hizballah makes gains in Lebanon vote The Iran-backed militant group Hizballah made gains on May 6 in Lebanon’s first parliamentary elections since 2009. Western-backed Prime Minister Saad Hariri said his party lost a third of its seats, while Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah declared the vote a “great political and moral victory.” NASA launches Mars InSight lander On May 5, NASA launched the Mars InSight lander, a small spacecraft designed to conduct studies of the Red Planet’s interior.

CIA director nominee Gina Haspel’s role in interrogation programs

EVER SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP TAPPED Gina Haspel to lead the CIA nearly two months ago, fierce debate has engulfed Washington over her suitability to run the agency. Haspel, a 33-year intelligence operative who would become the first woman to lead the CIA, remains embroiled in controversy because of her role in the agency’s interrogation and detention program in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. During a May 9 confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, it was her turn to speak. “I want to be clear: Having served in that tumultuous time, I can offer you my personal commitment, clearly and without reservation, that under my leadership, on my watch, CIA will not restart such a detention and interrogation program,” Haspel said. Still, she evaded answering questions on her…

A matter of taste

In response to complaints about its vanilla ice cream, Häagen-Dazs has confirmed it tweaked the recipe last year. Here, other big-brand flavor changes that went awry. NEW COKE The most infamous mistake came in 1985, when Coca-Cola introduced the first recipe update in Coke’s history. Customers hated it and the phrase “New Coke” became synonymous with a product fail. TWININGS TEA The British tea company added more citrus flavor to its classic Earl Grey in 2011, but to customers the change was, well, not their cup of tea. Some created a Facebook page demanding the return of the original. NUTELLA When Ferrero changed its Nutella recipe in November, fans of the spread were truly angry. They took to social media, using the hashtag #NutellaGate to profess their love for the old product.…

North Korea prisoners

IT IS ONE OF THE RUBE GOLDBERG RULES of summitry: Jail doors will swing open when diplomats want more room to maneuver. And so three American citizens were freed from North Korean custody on May 9: Kim Dong-Chul, Tony Kim and Kim Hak-Song were led aboard the U.S. government jet of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who on the same stop spent 90 minutes with dictator Kim Jong Un. President Trump later tweeted that Pompeo and Kim had nailed down the date and time that Trump will meet Kim to discuss the future of Pyongyang’s nuclear-weapons program. The visit, held the day after Trump broke off the nuclear deal with Iran, recalled prisoner releases that bracketed that pact. Iran’s freeing of jailed American hikers in 2011 opened the way for initial…

Warren Buffett speaks to CEOs going political

WHEN WARREN BUFFETT held his annual investor-fest at the beginning of this month, he weighed in on CEOs taking stands on social issues. While he certainly airs his own political views from time to time, his stance is that he doesn’t want to speak for shareholders. Buffett’s view on this subject was once standard CEO fare. But that’s changed: think Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff’s campaign against Indiana’s religious-freedom law, Merck CEO Ken Frazier’s resignation from President Trump’s advisory council after the Charlottesville riots or Delta CEO Ed Bastian’s decision to cut discounts for NRA members after the Parkland shootings—to name a few. None of those would have happened a decade ago. So why are they happening now? In many cases, employees and customers are demanding that CEOs speak out. But Buffett is right…

Netflix risks turning the drug war in the Philippines into fiction

A WEEK AFTER IT PREMIERED, FEW OF THE EXTRAS WHO appear in Netflix’s first Filipino series had even seen the show. Outside the barbecue stand Nerisa Perez runs in the Manila neighborhood where award-winning director Brillante Mendoza shot Amo (pronounced “am-ohr,” meaning boss), she recalled acting in one scene. A fictional SWAT team raided a nearby shanty, killing her brother, and Perez had to sink to her knees and lament his death. “What did my brother do?” was her line. None of the dozen or so people outside Perez’s stall—some of whom also appear in Amo—had caught their neighbor’s big moment, but their memories of the shoot were vivid. “It felt so real,” one said. “We were afraid.” ‘A lot of Filipinos have been persuaded that there’s no hope for these…

Sex and the City’ s Cynthia Nixon finds a new role in politics

SITTING IN THE OPEN KITCHEN OF HER New York City apartment, the first-time political candidate snacks on pistachios and talks campaign-finance reform. “In New York, you can’t call out Wall Street, right?” says Cynthia Nixon, who is running for the Democratic nomination for governor of New York. She rises to buzz in a delivery, and on the way to the door continues in campaign mode. “The private prison system is built on debt, right? Without the banks lending them all this money to expand, they would not be able to do what they’re doing. Fundraising is monopolizing everything.” Just before opening her door, she says, “That’s why campaign-finance reform is so important. It’s the mother reform, the reform that makes all the other reforms possible.” She opens the door to accept…

‘So beautiful, yet so destructive’

Authorities ordered at least 1,700 residents to evacuate homes near Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano after its crater floor collapsed on April 30, precipitating a series of earthquakes including a 6.9-magnitude temblor on May 4. Magma flow into the lower East Rift Zone has resulted in several lava- and gas-releasing fissures in the Leilani Estates subdivision near Pahoa, where more than two dozen homes—including these, photographed from a helicopter by Bruce Omori on May 6—have been overrun. “So beautiful, yet so destructive,” Omori tells TIME. “If you’ve ever seen a flow move through an area, there’s nothing that can stop it. Absolutely nothing.” ▶ For more of our best photography, visit time.com/lightbox…

Here’s how we can begin fixing Hollywood

‘I want there to be a black Seinfeld, a show about literally nothing.’ WHEN I FIRST STARTED ACTING, I WAS ALWAYS CAST AS THE sassy, asexual black best friend. My peers were shoved into similar, limiting boxes, as there weren’t a lot of opportunities for actors of color. The available roles were oftentimes racist, sexist or woefully underdeveloped. I would read certain scripts and think, You can’t be serious. But if you dared to speak up, you—not the source of the prejudice—would be the problem. Many writers’ rooms were painfully white and male, and if you called out a racist joke, you would be accused of being overly sensitive. The message was clear: Shut up and thank your lucky stars that you have a job. People of color just weren’t valued. Films like…

TRUMP’S RISKY GAME OF DEAL OR NO DEAL

Moments after he declared that the U.S. was ditching the Iran nuclear deal, President Trump abruptly switched topics. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was en route to North Korea, he said, to prepare for Trump’s meeting with the despot Kim Jong Un. INSIDE A FORMER ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER ANALYZES TRUMP’S DECISION HOW AMERICA’S WITHDRAWAL COULD ISOLATE IT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD GABRIELLE UNION MAKES A NEW DEAL—WITH HOLLYWOOD It seemed like a jarring aside, but it sheds light on why Trump decided to reimpose U.S. sanctions against Iran on May 8. Over the past two months, Trump has come to see his policy toward North Korea as a success. He believes his unusual combination of insults and biting economic sanctions has brought a nuclear-armed dictator to the negotiating table—and now he wants to…

As Israel’s Defense Minister in 2012, Barak stoked fears that Israel would strike Iran.The threats led to the sanctions against Tehran that helped force it to negotiate the deal signed in 2015. Barak, who was also the Prime Minister of Israel, is the author of a new memoir, My Country, My Life. Did President Trump do the right thing by pulling out of the Iran deal? I think that the deal was a bad deal. But once it was signed, it was a matter of fact. The Iranians are doing many bad things, but those things are beyond the agreement. Did Israel need a new front right now against Iran? It’s not our new front. It’s a sovereign decision of the American President. Is Trump undoing the results of your work in 2012?…

The aftershock across the globe

THE IRAN DEAL ISN’T dead yet. The rest of the signatories (Germany, France, the U.K., Russia, China and the E.U.) have vowed to uphold the terms of the 2015 agreement. Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has signaled a desire to do the same. And so President Donald Trump’s decision may become the latest proof that we now live in a post–Pax Americana world—one in which the U.S. perhaps doesn’t play a lead role but a participatory one. There is a growing divide between the U.S. and Europe, where leaders were already incensed that Trump has offered only temporary exemptions on the steel and aluminum tariffs that the U.S. is threatening to impose on the E.U. After Trump’s Iran announcement, the U.K., France and Germany issued a joint statement that expressed regret and…

Highlights from stories on time.com/ideas The great dairy debate Mark Kurlansky, author of the new book Milk! A 10,000-Year Food Fracas, details the drink’s history of controversy and why “though cow’s milk is what fills our refrigerators, few claim that it is the ideal milk for humans.” A better option? Donkey’s milk. A transpacific disconnect The Chinese ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai, writes that while “the trade deficit that the United States has with China gets all the headlines,” there’s a more fundamental and pernicious misunderstanding that Americans have of China.

WHERE THE LEGEND OF EL CHAPO WAS BORN

WHEN JOAQUÍN “EL CHAPO” Guzmán was born in the rugged village of La Tuna in Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains in 1957, the houses were made of mud, there was no electricity or running water and mules provided the only form of transport. His mother described how she and his father scraped by growing beans and corn on the rocky slopes to care for him and his 10 siblings. “They were difficult times. We longed for something better,” Consuelo Loera, Guzmán’s 88-year-old mother, tells TIME as she looks out at the homes and farmsteads clinging to the sun-soaked hillside. Known as El Chapo (or Shorty) for his diminutive, stocky stature, Guzmán toiled as a child to help bring food to the table, hauling sacks of oranges around the hills to sell…

THE DRUG LORD WHO KEPT GETTING AWAY

Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán is famed for his alleged drug empire and his legendary prison escapes. Here’s a look at his life on the run: EARLY 1980S Guzmán establishes himself as a drug-smuggling logistics expert for the Guadalajara Cartel, one of the leading criminal organizations in Mexico. 1989 The Guadalajara Cartel is split into factions, one of which, the Sinaloa Cartel, falls under Guzmán’s control. JUNE 1993 Guatemalan authorities arrest Guzmán and deport him to Mexico. He is sentenced to 20 years in prison. He continues to run cartel operations from prison. JANUARY 2001 With help from prison employees, Guzmán escapes, possibly in a laundry cart that gets wheeled out of prison. For years, he is wanted by Mexican, U.S. and Interpol authorities. FEBRUARY 2014 After eluding Mexican authorities for days using underground tunnels, Guzmán is captured, ending a 13-year…

THE FIXER’S MYSTERY FUND

AT 5:06 P.M. ON MAY 8, MICHAEL AVENATTI, THE UBIQUITOUS lawyer for adult-film star Stormy Daniels, tweeted a bombshell. Avenatti, whose client is suing President Trump, said he had obtained a list of alleged wire transfers dating from October 2016 to January 2018 into and out of a company controlled by Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer. Among the alleged inflows to Essential Consultants LLC: half a million dollars from a firm controlled by an aluminum baron close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and hundreds of thousands of dollars from companies with business before the Trump Administration, including telecom giant AT&T and Swiss pharmaceutical behemoth Novartis. Going out, Avenatti claims: the now famous $130,000 mystery-money payment to Daniels, hundreds of thousands of dollars to Cohen’s own bank accounts and millions of…

INSIDE SEX OFFENDER THERAPY

The men file in, a few wearing pressed button-down shirts, others jeans caked in mud from work on a construction site.They meet in the living room of an old taupe bungalow on a leafy street in a small Southern city. Someone has shoved a workout bike into the corner to make room for a circle of overstuffed chairs dug up at the local Goodwill. The men jockey for a coveted recliner and settle in. They are complaining about co-workers and debating the relative merits of various trucks when a faint beeping interrupts the conversation. One man picks up a throw pillow and tries to muffle the sound of the battery running low on his ankle bracelet, a reminder of why they are all there. Every one of the eight men in the…

LET US NOW PUNISH FAMOUS MEN

convicted of raping an 18-year-old girl, has become comic relief in movies. Chris Brown beat up his girlfriend; he now has a hit song in which he casually mentions his “controversial past.” Over a dozen women have publicly accused Donald Trump of violating them; he is the President. Losing one’s liberty—going to jail, being on probation or spending one’s entire life on a sex-offender registry—is a serious penalty, and so the requirements to warrant it are high: a legal finding that one is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and a presumption of innocence until and unless that finding is made. But for the powerful, criminal convictions are rare, in part because these people have better tools to work the justice system and rarely fit the stereotype of a convict. So the…

A witness to slavery is finally heard

IN 1927, A MAN IN ALABAMA—THE LAST SURVIVOR of the last known ship ever to bring enslaved humans from Africa to the U.S.—received a visitor. A young anthropologist, working on her first big assignment, wanted to hear what he remembered of freedom, of bondage and of what came before. The aspiring scholar’s name was Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston returned several times, aiming to write a book about the man—called Kossola, with a variety of spellings, or Cudjo Lewis—but never found an interested publisher. Even as she became an esteemed writer, his story stuck with her. His yearning for home, undimmed by time, was wedged in her mind. Now, about 90 years later, the book she had wanted, a nonfiction account of her interaction with a man who lived a vanishing history,…

Hurston’s history A literary life, in brief

1891 Zora Neale Hurston is born in Alabama. She later claimed her birth year was 1901, to stay in school after she aged out. 1928 She graduates from Barnard College, where she studied anthropology. While in NYC, she becomes a figure in the Harlem Renaissance. 1937 She publishes Their Eyes Were Watching God, seen as her masterpiece, amid a flurry of creative and scholarly output. 1942 Her memoir Dust Tracks on a Road is widely hailed, but she later returns to working odd jobs to support herself. 1960 After a stroke, Hurston dies in poverty and is buried in an unmarked grave in Florida.

Fahrenheit 451 doesn’t quite catch fire

“THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. Anything else will make you sick. Crazy.” So says Michael Shannon, playing a captain of a brigade of “firemen” in HBO’s new film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451. He shows a group of schoolchildren emojified editions of the Bible, To the Lighthouse and Moby-Dick, text-length communiqués studded with pictorial symbols. Ray Bradbury foresaw a great deal, but he couldn’t have predicted the emoji era. The sci-fi author’s 1953 novel depicts a world in which “firemen” ignite personal libraries so as to keep the population docilely addicted to low-calorie filmed entertainment. Here, the firemen’s exploits play out on social media, with Shannon’s and Michael B. Jordan’s arsonists treated as local heroes on an omnipresent livestream. Shannon bites into the story with trademark relish, but Jordan, a…

What to stream now

John Mulaney, the writer responsible for SNL’s viral Stefon character, has long seemed on the precipice of mega-notoriety—and with his new Netflix special, Kid Gorgeous, he takes a major step forward. He filmed the special at Radio City Music Hall, a capacious stage that he commands, wielding the long cord of his microphone like a lion tamer’s whip. Mulaney has a self-consciously odd manner, telling jokes rooted in linguistic tricks and flights of fancy. A long extended metaphor about the Trump era, and how it resembles a horse having been set loose in a hospital, nears its breaking point but never quite falls apart; better still is an extended recollection of a school assembly, told with remarkable memory of a kid’s view of the world. Netflix has become—among many other things—the…

Showtime’s portrait of an addict

The Patrick Melrose novels, by the British writer Edward St. Aubyn, depict the life of a dissolute man as he goes from squandering his promise to having squandered it. Patrick is born into high social status but trained from youth that to strive is unbecoming; instead, he plunges into addiction, finding redemption slowly. Benedict Cumberbatch, the primly composed actor, makes for a perfect Patrick. In Showtime’s remarkable, decades-traversing new miniseries Patrick Melrose, Cumberbatch’s boarding-school anticharisma neatly coincides with a character who holds the world at arm’s length. And the actor’s calculatedness, known to fans of Sherlock, looks radically different as he counts the minutes, and even the seconds, until his next hit, or whiles away the hours after giving drugs up. His is a soulful, careening tale told with both novelistic…

A classic tale of sisterhood reimagined once again

MOST MEMORABLE JO: LITTLE WOMEN (1933) My Fair Lady director George Cukor’s Little Women—the first screen adaptation with sound—starred a 26-year-old Katharine Hepburn as the plucky Josephine “Jo” March. Hepburn’s lively performance was praised by critics—and by the actor herself. Later in her career, she challenged “anyone to be as good [at playing Jo] as I was.” MOST STAR-STUDDED: LITTLE WOMEN (1994) With Winona Ryder as Jo, Susan Sarandon as Marmee, Claire Danes as Beth, an 11-year-old Kirsten Dunst as Amy and a teenage Christian Bale as love interest Laurie, Australian director Gillian Armstrong’s 1994 film adaptation boasts the most high-profile cast—and three Oscar nominations, to boot. MOST FAITHFUL VERSION: LITTLE WOMEN (1970) Nine 25-minute episodes comprise this relatively low-budget BBC miniseries. Far from the most popular adaptation—viewers were quick to poke fun at the…

Forbidden lovers seek grace in Disobedience

ON OUR WORST DAYS, WE MAY FEEL like we live in an unjustly repressive world. On our best ones, we marvel at how much freedom we really have. Disobedience—from the astute Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, director of the Oscar-winning A Fantastic Woman— suggests that the truth lies somewhere in between. Rachel Weisz plays Ronit, a successful New York photographer who’s called home to London after the death of her father, a beloved and respected Orthodox rabbi. Ronit has distanced herself from her extended family, and it has in turn disavowed her. When she arrives, she’s met with cool suspicion, though her father’s favorite pupil, Dovid (Alessandro Nivola), practically a family member, tries to show her some kindness. As if Ronit’s jumbled feelings of grief and estrangement aren’t enough, she learns that…

Binoche makes Sunshine glow

As we clamor to celebrate female filmmakers in the U.S., let’s not forget those who have been working for years in France. Claire Denis (Beau Travail, Friday Night) is one of the best of those, and her latest film, Let the Sunshine In, is a multifaceted, bittersweet delight. A superb Juliette Binoche plays Isabelle, a middle-aged artist who has split from—though still occasionally sleeps with—her longtime partner and is wondering what her next act might be. Neither a moody, preening actor (Nicolas Duvauchelle) nor the oafish married banker (Xavier Beauvois) who tells her, “You’re charming, but my wife is extraordinary” deserve her. On the most basic level, Let the Sunshine In is a wry, deeply enjoyable picture about the cursed horror of dating and how desire drives us even when we…

Charlie Puth comes into his own on Voicenotes

CHARLIE PUTH HAS SOMETHING TO prove. On his sophomore album Voicenotes, out May 11, the 26-year-old singer is out to set the record straight that he’s neither a one-hit wonder nor an off-the-rack artist. So Puth is growing up and getting real, letting his background in jazz and the influence of slick ’90s funk and R&B shine through. The result is a 13-track pop collection that documents disillusionment and nostalgia alike. It’s retro, bittersweet and undeniable as sonic catnip. Born in New Jersey and educated at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Puth discovered at a young age that he had perfect pitch. He found modest attention in his late teens with a comedic YouTube channel, but his career really picked up when his song covers were discovered by Ellen DeGeneres,…

China’s CredEx Fintech is the New Frontier in Mobile Lending Technology

Credit. For small businesses seeking to grow, and consumers striving to improve their lives, the ability to secure loans from banks or financial institutions can be essential. But in many countries, small businesses and consumers are starved for credit. Simply put, most banks are more interested in lending to big business than assessing the reliability of, and risking their capital on small players and individuals. In China, however, one financial technology (fintech) firm has developed a groundbreaking mobile application that is solving this problem –matching millions of small and medium-size businesses, and creditworthy consumers, with financial institutions that want to lend while still being able to maintain high levels of risk management. And it’s all done by mobile phone in a matter of minutes. That company is CredEx Fintech. “CredEx Fintech…

China’s CredEx Fintech is the New Frontier in Mobile Lending Technology

‘ YOU CANNOT MAKE ART WITHOUT RISK ANY MORE THAN YOU CAN MAKE BABIES WITHOUT SEX ’ Wine, hotels, films are all businesses in which you’ve had success. What has one taught you about the other? It’s all show business. Show business is a little derogatory, but it really is what it is. And even to the Greeks in the great golden age of Sophocles, it was still show business. The fact that I’ve not been stuck in one of those fields has given me a perspective about how things that are common in one but unknown in the other might be useful. It’s a sort of self-refreshment. When young filmmakers go to you for advice, what do they ask and how do you answer? They all ask, “How do I get…
