The Year Great-White Sharks Took Over Maine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you spend a lot of time in the ocean, it is hard not to think about sharks. I visit the beach near my home in southern Maine regularly with my family, and almost every night from spring to fall, I go surf fishing after dark. For a long time, I soothed my anxiety with statistics—in America, you are far more likely to be killed by a riding mower than a man-eating fish—and by reminding myself that, in all my years of beachgoing and striped-bass fishing, I’d never encountered a great white in the
Why Do Rich Kids Love Socialism? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the news broke that a co-chair of New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter lives in a $1.5 million Brooklyn townhouse paid for by his father, critics of the DSA had a field day. The New York Post jabbed at Gustavo Gordillo, a 38-year-old former Yale student, for benefiting from his dad’s largesse “while railing against the rich and property ownership.” The condemnation got even louder when the Post reported that Gordillo had dropped out of an electrician apprenticeship and n

Made famous as the youngest Black professor in Cambridge’s more than 800-year history, Arday had been dogged by weeks of scrutiny amid accusations of plagiarism, fake qualifications, and a fabricated backstory filled with hard-to-believe details. He claimed to ha
The Key to Understanding the Traditionalists (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read. “History Is Running Backwards” is a provocative article. But I think David Brooks errs in framing traditionalism and modernity as an either/or, when in fact they exist in a both/and context. One can be both a traditionalist and a modernist simultaneously. The key, as Brooks notes, is that “a well-adjusted life consists of daring explorations from a secure base.” Would that we all were so blessed to have that! In dividing humanity i
