As it Turns Out: Thinking about Edie and Andy By Alice Sedgwick Wohl Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 272 pp. $28 - - - From March 1965 until January 1966, New York City was beguiled by an unexpected "it" couple. Andy Warhol - effete, strange-looking with his pallid skin and silver wig - was emerging as the principal practitioner of Pop Art. Edie Sedgwick - waiflike, modern with her pixie haircut and hoop earrings - was described as a debutante, heiress and member of the Boston Brahmins (none of which was actually true). During their time together in the spotlight, which started in earnest when they appeared at a preview of "Three Centuries of American Painting" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and received more press attention than fellow attendee first lady Lady Bird Johnson, they dominated the Manhattan social scene. As Merv Griffin said of them when they appeared on his television show, "No party in New York is considered a success unless they are there." Although the … [Read more...] about Book World: Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol’s bond was fleeting. The movies live on.

Monica Huckabay, who works at an emergency response company in Texas, stopped straightening her natural hair day after day. And she stopped letting bigoted comments slide at the office. Abby Mercer, a nonprofit executive in Indiana, stopped hanging out with friends who weren't supportive. She rethought everything she had learned growing up in a culture that prized "purity" in girls. And she started dating women. Rachel Zentner, a therapist in Wisconsin, started being more honest with the people in her life - about her own eating disorder, her alcoholism, her relationship problems. The women don't know each other, but they share something in common: The changes they made in their lives were inspired, at least in part, by Glennon Doyle, the former Christian parenting blogger turned feminist icon. They are part of the latest chapter of the Doyle story, the one where women who watched with fascination as she hit the eject button on her old life start questioning the confines of … [Read more...] about Glennon Doyle chose honesty. Now fans are following her lead.

KYIV, Ukraine - Over the past six months, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become an inspiring wartime leader and champion of his country. During an hour-long, wide-ranging interview with The Washington Post at the presidential office, where hallways are kept dark and are lined with sandbags to protect against Russian attack, Zelensky discussed U.S. warnings about Russia preparing to launch a full-scale invasion - and if he believed them. The following is a translated and lightly edited transcript of excerpts from the interview. The full transcript will be published at a later date. - - - Q: When CIA Director William J. Burns met with you here in Kyiv in January, one of the things he told you was that the Russians would attempt a landing at the airport in Hostomel. What was your reaction when that actually happened on Feb. 24? Should there have been more Ukrainian forces already there? A: Regarding the airport, some six months prior to all of this, and perhaps even … [Read more...] about An interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

Alex Albon does not strike us as being a contender for Strictly any time soon, but he has learned how to “dance” with his Williams car. If we could visualise any of Albon’s F1 contemporaries performing a foxtrot or a quickstep on Saturday night TV it is probably George Russell, not that it is likely to happen in the next few years. The only dancing Albon is doing – unless he has been out clubbing during his summer break – is with the Williams FW44, about which he has explained more of the driving style he deploys to achieve the best possible results. Recently, the former Red Bull racer, who is in his first season with Williams, said he felt “confident enough to drive it how I wanted to drive it” when he first started getting to grips with the car. And after expressing that confidence , he has given more details of just what is required to extract the maximum performance, leading to results such as the brace of top-10 finishes he has recorded to score Williams ’ only … [Read more...] about Alex Albon explains how he has learned to ‘dance’ with his Williams car

Listen to this article Through the year’s first half, 2022 has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride for financial markets and investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened the year at an all-time high with a volume tickling 37k on January 4, but plummeted to under 30k by mid-June. The market has been on the upswing since that point, but one trend has stayed steady throughout the year: Used car sellers, especially those with robust e-commerce platforms, are poised to make investors a ton of cash. At the same time, global trends are driving a more diverse interest in high-end vehicles than every. Electric vehicle volumes continue to skyrocket , with interest in used EV sales closely following. Even America’s newfound appreciation for motorsport, from F1 to Forumla E , is propelling curiosity about high-performance machinery. With its unique access to these top-tier vehicle segments, inventories, and owners, duPont Registry is set to make a splash at the very pinnical … [Read more...] about Car Buying Is Undergoing A Digital Revolution

Toto Wolff “loves” how Formula 1’s social conscience has riled older fans over the last decade, from going green to taking a knee. Formula 1 courted controversy amongst its fans when, in 2013, the sport bade farewell to the old-school 2.4 litre V8 engines to welcome hybrid technology. Introducing 1.6-litre V6 hybrid engines that incorporated energy recovery systems the following season, the sport took its first of many steps towards becoming greener. Since then, F1 has announced sustainability plans to have a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030. Naysayers said at the time the quieter power units would be the end of Formula 1, but instead the sport’s following has grown in the last 10 years. In 2020, the drivers began to take a knee in a worldwide fight against racism and discrimination, while this year they have adopted a new campaign called ‘Drive It Out’ in response to increasing incidents of abuse online and at events. That, coupled with the likes of Lewis Hamilton and … [Read more...] about Toto Wolff ‘loves’ that F1 legacy fans ‘hate’ new direction of the sport

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced Tuesday that a local child younger than two-years-old has tested presumptive positive for monkeypox, marking the first pediatric case of the virus reported in Texas. During the news conference, Hidalgo said the child, who has not been in daycare or school, is currently asymptomatic with a rash, but is "doing very well" and is expected to make a full recovery. County officials are currently conducting contract tracing and have not yet determined how the virus was transmitted. Hidalgo said all who have come in direct contact with the child are being offered the vaccine, adding that so far, no one in the child's circle has tested presumptive positive for the virus.
