Trump’s Most Foolish Decision Yet

The Iran nuclear deal has worked as intended. Violating it will make the United States far less safe.

"The president has just made the most foolish and consequential national security decision of his tenure. Exactly what comes next is unclear, but we certainly will face a far worse situation than today. When the mess materializes, Mr. Trump, per standard procedure, will blame everyone else: his political opponents, his predecessor, the Europeans and the Iranians. But there will be only one person responsible: President Trump, our wrecking ball in chief."

If I cared I would fix the format of my monitor.

Last year, the artist Peregrine Honig moved into the building that she also uses as a performance hall. “I really curate the space with a Baptist preacher in mind,” she said.

OK

Celebrity (Secret) Instagram Posts Taken From Inside the Met Gala

Posts from the red carpet are O.K., but everything else is banned — though celebrities never seem to follow the rules.

Less distortion.

Jeremy Safran was found beaten to death in the basement of his house, a bloody hammer nearby. The police arrested a man hiding in a closet.

A first report.
There are details but no story as yet.

The Hats, Crowns, Halos and Veils of the Met Gala

Clearly, the unannounced theme this year was headgear.

The designers know the iconography of this headgear.
The reporters and editors should know it.

A Lifelike Version of Nature, but Not to Scale

It takes a patient person to forge the botanical miniature of a leaf. Who wants to make a forest?

Why is there a Franken Pine cell tower in the foreground of “The Valley” by Matthew Albanese?
