Michigan Teenager Expected to Testify at Rape Trial Is Found Dead

Quinn James, 42, is accused of sexually assaulting Mujey Dumbuya in a school parking lot last summer, when she was 15.

Some monsters have friends
There are dramatic stories untold.

Todd Howe, Key Witness in Albany Corruption Trial, Is Jailed

The government immediately moved to revoke the bond of Mr. Howe, who admitted in court that he had violated the terms of his deal with prosecutors.

This prosecution of Joseph Percoco has failed.

The prosecutor will attempt to start again.

The Smearing of Woody Allen

Assuming that accusations are facts sends us down a dark path.

I will not attempt to excuse Woody Allen.

He must find a way to be "Not Guilty" or be thought guilty.

Poem: Mommy’s Acquaintance, a 90-Year-Old Tree

Selected by Terrance Hayes.

Unexplored mind.

Mike Pence Tangles With Olympian Adam Rippon Over Gay Rights Record

Mr. Pence denied a report that Mr. Rippon, a gay American figure skater competing in Pyeongchang, had refused to meet with him. But Mr. Rippon’s agent said it was true.

Mike Pence is in a losing position.

Food

Chewy Chocolate Cookies That Are Only Slightly Over the Top

Brownielike and fudgy, these chocolate cookies are packed with white chocolate, nuts and dried cherries.

White chocolate is pointless.

The cookies would be enthusiastically consumed.

Text to Text | Soliloquies From ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Les Misérables’

Students consider the role of the soliloquy as a literary and performance tool in general, then examine two speeches in which characters wrestle with existential questions.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

I Will Die in This Beautiful Place

To be a true New Yorker, one must love and hate the city in equal measure, and always come back.

We follow a single line, our reality.
The multiverse shares our past but not our future.

I do not know the hour and thus the place of my death.

Of the city I have loved the past. I do not know the present.

Armie Hammer, Jeremy Scott and Ssion Party During Fashion Week

Chrome Hearts held a dinner for L’Officiel USA; Jeremy Scott hosted a raucous after-party.

I don't want to know these people.
