How the Trump-Kim Summit Failed: Big Threats, Big Egos, Bad Bets

President Trump and Kim Jong-un of North Korea had dramatically different visions of what “denuclearization” meant, dooming their deal.

Trump does not do diplomacy.

Central Park Detective Retires With the Horse He Rode In On

At 63, Detective John Reilly — perhaps New York City’s oldest uniformed officer — faces mandatory retirement. He was Central Park’s lone mounted officer.

A quiet end to a tradition.

How Jeff Bezos Went to Hollywood and Lost Control

He built the world’s largest fortune with an iron discipline. Now a wild cast of only-in-L.A. characters have seized his narrative.

The Tallest Man I Ever Loved

When manifesting a boyfriend, maybe don't start with the physical — or date the competition.

I am still dyslexic.
Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

Andrew Cuomo Speaks With Jeff Bezos, Hints of ‘Other Ways’ to Clear Path for Amazon’s Return

The governor of New York has called Mr. Bezos and other Amazon executives to persuade them to resurrect their plan to build a campus in Long Island City.

Amazon should have a warehouse in the south Bonks.

Have you or haven’t you cut the financial cord with your family?

Social security takes care of my rent.
Come as you are.

Trump Faces Fury After Saying He Believes North Korean Leader on Student’s Death

The family of Otto Warmbier spoke out after President Trump’s comments, saying that North Korea’s “evil regime” was responsible for the death of their son.

Nothing will replace their son.
Faith kills.

After the Trump-Kim Failure

The president was right to walk rather than accept a bad deal, but look out ahead.

I am not hopeful.
Kim Jong-un will continue with Chinese backing to tighten his walls.

North Korea needs a "New economic policy".

Israel’s Secret Founding Fathers

Everyone knows the name David Ben-Gurion. Why don’t we know about the spy Jamil Cohen?

The fighting will continue.

No amount of pressure on the Palestinians will produce legitimacy.

36 Hours in Ghent

In an often overlooked Flemish city: canals, spires, cobblestone streets and some of Belgium’s best food and design.

I will plan a trip for summer.   I must move now and make a home of sorts.

The Meaning of the Scene: Sean Spicer Repents

A fascinating TV appearance by the former press secretary underlines how the Trump White House wields the power of humiliation.

Ok

Fairhope, in Alabama, thrives as a place for artists, intellectuals and people of outsize character.

The absurdity of denying Trump’s bigotry.

The problem is understood by Democrats.

The New ‘Dream Home’ Should Be a Condo

Builders want to sell us huge, unsustainable monstrosities. That’s not what we need.

I think not.  I want a studio with a roof and a home with a roof.

A Clash at the Cohen Hearing Reveals the Left’s Racial Divide

A clash over racism between a freshman Democrat and a conservative Republican revealed as much about the divide within the Democratic Party as the chasm between Democrats and Republicans over race.

I am not worried.

Jorge Ramos: The Dictator of Venezuela Earns His Title

Nicolás Maduro stole my television crew’s cameras and expelled me from the country, all because he was afraid of an interview.

Autocratic power does not make Maduro illegitimate.

Katherine Helmond, ‘Soap’ and ‘Who’s the Boss?’ Star, Dies at 89

Before she found fame on two long-running television series, Ms. Helmond was a well-regarded stage actress.

Time is our enemy.

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

I will travel north the day after tomorrow or the next day.

Behind Illicit Massage Parlors Lie a Vast Crime Network and Modern Indentured Servitude

In a $3 billion-a-year industry, many women stay on as prostitutes in order to pay debts to smugglers, spa owners and lawyers.

Pimps never learn.

Where Terrorism Is Rising in Africa and the U.S. Is Leaving

Hundreds of American commandos and other troops are leaving West Africa even as terrorist attacks intensify and spread across the continent.
