    ‘Primetime’ and Chris Hansen: Losing control. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Chris Hansen feels ambushed. He is standing outside a Regal movie theater in Times Square. He has just seen Primetime, a new movie about Chris Hansen starring Robert Pattinson. Tourists mill about as a camera crew records the scene. “I’m not objective, because the character is, you know, me. But it was so detached from reality,” he says. “I’m not sure what the point of it was.” He then interviews moviegoers. “I watch a lot of your stuff on YouTube. I felt like it was very overdramatized,” a man

    Excerpt · English

After some deliberation, she decided to center her speech on the word “no” and all the ways in which women and girls are expected to be obliging. She hoped that by encouraging the students to say no more often, she could “complicate” how they “interact with the world.” Holmes—who founded the unapologetically feminist Jezebel, in 2007; is now a contributing writer at Th

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In February, Rusty Morris began to suspect there might be a cancer cluster in Keyport, New Jersey, where he grew up. His father was being treated for prostate cancer, and every time Morris talked to his mom, she seemed to mention another neighbor who had been diagnosed.
