OUR AGE OF DISTRUST
In 1624, the English poet John Donne wrote, “No man is an island entire of itself.” And yet in 2026, the Edelman Trust Barometer finds that 7 out of 10 people across 28 nations are hesitant or unwilling to trust people who have different values, approaches to societal problems, or backgrounds than they do. For most people, distrust is now the default instinct. Only one-third tell us most people can be trusted.

The most under- appreciated movies of the 21st century
WHENEVER I BROWSE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA or Letterboxd to see what movies young film lovers are discovering, I often see the usual suspects: pictures made by Hitchcock, Coppola, and Scorsese, with a smattering of classic films noir or romantic comedies thrown in.

The D.C. Brief
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LAST year successfully wrestled control of one of the nation's dominant performing-arts stages with unheard-of efficiency. He ousted its leader, installed a loyalist at the helm, made himself the chairman of its reconstituted board, scrambled its programing calendar, alienated cultural leaders, exiled its resident opera company, declared himself the M.C. of its biggest fundraising gala, and treated it like an annex of the White House for events that cast him as the headliner.

WHEN I THINK OF IRAN, I THINK OF LIGHT
WHEN A FRIEND ASKED HENRY James how he endured the devastation of World War I, the writer replied, “Feel, feel, feel all you can.” His exhortation contains the essence of what it means to remain human. Totalitarian regimes try to dismantle our capacity to feel, render us numb, confiscate our humanity, the way censors black out passages in books.

Tracey Emin on her biggest ever exhibition, her incendiary artwork, and how losing a few organs gave her a new lease on life
When I'm painting, I never know what I'm going to paint. It's just kind of psychic and automatic, like I'm like a banshee whirling around, throwing my paint, and then it comes to me. If I make a painting of two people making love, I didn't know that was going to happen.

The Risk Report
THE MIDDLE EAST HAS LATELY seen a surge of violence and instability. Israel's war with Hamas expanded to include Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi rebels. An insurrection ousted Syria's strongman and replaced him with a shaky Islamist coalition. Israel and the U.S. directly struck Iran, which in recent weeks has faced an intense wave of protests within its borders. The regime has responded with a ferocity remarkable even by Iran's standards.

Rebellion vs revolution
On Feb. 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini arrived in Tehran after 15 years of exile in Turkey, Iraq, and a little village outside Paris. Millions of Iranians saw him as a spiritual man who would usher in democracy and deliver a better economic life. They welcomed him. Khomeini and his supporters delivered neither. Instead, they gradually transformed the Shah's authoritarian, secular monarchy into a totalitarian theocracy.

My dream for Iran
For years now, I have held on to a very specific dream. I am somewhere in Tehran, my hometown, canvassing for an election. I knock on an apartment door, and an elderly woman answers. “Madar Jaan,” I address her, using the Persian term of endearment and respect. “Will you consider voting for the Left Party of Iran?”

What winter gives back
IN MY EARLY 30S, I RELOCATED TO RURAL NEW HAMPSHIRE from Florida. It was supposed to be a joyful and exciting time: I was in love and had moved north with the intention of building a life with my husband. It was also stressful. The losses of friends and community hit me harder than I realized.

IRAN'S EXHAUSTING CHARADE
THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC'S ALready lengthy catalog of fears has ballooned of late: alongside the possibility of being overthrown by its own citizens, it is haunted by the prospect of a full accounting of the massacres it has carried out; by the tenuous loyalty of its army, and its empty coffers; and by the shadow of Israeli spies and Islamic State militants.

Does your baby qualify for a $1,000 Trump Account?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS TOUTED HIS “TRUMP Accounts” as a way to give “every newborn American child a financial stake in the future.” At a U.S. Treasury event on Jan. 28, with a sign proclaiming that TRUMP ACCOUNTS JUMPSTART THE AMERICAN DREAM and an appearance by rapper Nicki Minaj, who referred to herself as the President’s “No. 1 fan,” he broke down how that stake will manifest—and who gets a cut of it.
