What have you learned from your kids? They bring things to your attention that you would usually brush off because you're used to them. It's kind of like you get a second view that you wouldn't have revisited if it wasn't for them, a different perspective on things that we're not sensitive to anymore. Basically, you relive childhood to a certain extent, which is very interesting. -Ralf_Interviews throughout by Lauren Kranc

Daryl S. Dismond (60), maître d' and model, and Silas J. Dismond (17)

Do you have a piece of clothing you're saving to pass down? When I moved to New York, there was Studio 54, Area, and then Nell's. So when I started working there, we thought we were really cool. We had these jackets that had NELL'S on the back. I saved this jacket. I was like, 'No, I'm not throwing this out. Even though I'm not wearing it, I know that [Silas] might want it.' And he wears the Nell's jacket all the time. -Daryl

Marc Hungerbühler (58), artist and curator, and Sebastiao Hungerbühler (24), creative director and model, opposite

What's the most embarrassing thing your dad has ever done? When we do or say the same thing and other people pick up on it. My really close friend that I grew up with calls it a Marc-ism. Or my girlfriend will be like, 'Oh my God, that was Marc.' Maybe I've adopted the way that he thinks. When we have long conversations, our brains almost merge in a way. I'm not ashamed to do the same thing as him. It's just when people notice that's the more embarrassing part. -Sebastiao

Now Trump is back on the ballot, and the pressure is mounting from all sides. Can he once again deliver a fair election?Brad Raffensperger is rattling off statistics while we wait. It's just after 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, May 21, and the Georgia secretary of state is standing outside a small conference room in an underground bunker on the east side of Atlanta, where he and his staff gather on election days. A couple dozen workers are spread around an open seating area, quietly fielding phone calls and staring at their computer monitors. With its fluorescent lights and gray carpet, the place has the muted feel of a regional sales office. The secretary, though, is energized. As the official in charge of overseeing elections in his state, Raffensperger is always ready to dive into the details.

Vote or Die - I'm a Black man in Arizona participating in the most consequential election of my lifetime whether certain white men want me to or not.

You knew some vote-or-die, do-it-to-honor the-sacrifices-of-the-ancestors, you-can't-complain-if-youdon't-participate Black folks. But you also knew scores who didn't trouble themselves with participating at all. Into your 30s you felt somewhere between those philosophical poles, among those who, each election cycle, needed convincing that their vote mattered a good gotdamn.
