EACH APRIL AFTER WE PUBLISH THE TIME 100—OUR ANNUAL designation of the world’s most influential individuals—we host a gala in New York City to celebrate the people on the list, alumni from past years and the transformative power of influence itself. It’s an evening that brings together people of impact across a remarkable array of fields: Oscar winners and Olympians, artists and astronauts, chefs and CEOs, politicians and playwrights. One of the joys of working at TIME is the opportunity to get this extraordinary group into one room. During the event, we ask some of the honorees to raise a glass to people who have influenced them.#MeToo movement founder Tarana Burke saluted survivors, who she said will “never be alone as long as I have a microphone.” Bollywood sensation…

On April 24, dozens of the world’s most influential people gathered at Manhattan’s Jazz at Lincoln Center for the TIME 100 gala—and proved that stars can still get starstruck. SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ▸ In “The Masters of Mind Control” (April 23), we misnamed a psychologist at the University of Oxford. He is Andrew Przybylski. In that same issue, 6Questions mischaracterized NBC’s Lester Holt as the first black network news anchor. Max Robinson was an anchor of ABC World News Tonight from 1978 to 1983. Additionally, What you said about … used an incorrect gender pronoun for Francis Piraino, who is a man.…

JAMES BROWN The singer released “Funky President (People It’s Bad)” in the tumultuous year of 1974. He said the song was about President Gerald Ford, who had recently taken over the White House from Richard Nixon. DIXIE CHICKS The country group denounced President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003. Three years later, they released the unapologetic single “Not Ready to Make Nice,” which won them multiple Grammy Awards. KILLER MIKE The rapper’s 2012 song “Reagan” compares the conservative hero to both Bushes, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, suggesting that all of them promoted war and mass incarceration.…

WHEN NINE JOURNALISTS WERE AMONG THE AT LEAST 25 people killed in a double suicide bombing in Kabul on April 30, I saw the blast through my camera. It was only because of luck that I survived, and then another photographer was shouting at me. “Marai is dead,” he said. “Marai is dead.” My friend Shah Marai, Agence France-Presse’s chief photographer in Afghanistan, had a passion for his work that is rare to find in a war zone. He was calm and courageous, just trying to take his pictures. At 41, he was a mentor for younger photojournalists in Kabul, having joined AFP as a driver in 1996, five years before the Taliban was ousted, and later building a career with the agency to support his family. After the…

Is listening to music good for your health? If you’re looking for an easy way to shift your mind-set, cue the music. Studies have shown that music can buoy mood, fend off depression and improve sleep. It can also ease pain and lower levels of stress-related hormones like cortisol. How can listening to music do so much good? Music seems to “selectively activate” neurochemical systems and brain structures associated with positive mood, emotion regulation, attention and memory, says Kim Innes, a professor of epidemiology at West Virginia University’s School of Public Health. But choose your tunes carefully. A song’s rhythm can influence heart rate and brain activity, says Daniel Levitin, a psychology professor at McGill University in Canada. And research shows that listening to music that agitates or unsettles…

It’s official: North Korea is moving into the future. On April 29, Kim Jong Un’s regime announced that it would shift its clocks forward 30 minutes on May 5, to unify with South Korean time—one of several conciliatory gestures decided at the historic talks between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. After a meeting oozing with symbolism at the riven peninsula’s demilitarized zone (DMZ), the North and South also agreed to restart reuniting families, open a liaison office and put an end to the Korean War, which officially is still being waged, as only an armistice, rather than a peace treaty, was ever signed. “A new history begins now,” Kim wrote in the visitor’s book of the DMZ’s Peace House as the first North Korean leader to visit…

Highlights from stories on time.com/ideas A better way to monitor screen time Alan Kazdin, director of the Yale Parenting Center, offers insights into managing a child’s use of the Internet. One step? Assume children are more skilled at getting around content blockers than you think. More military money, but less peace Since the end of the Cold War, global military spending has more than doubled in inflation-adjusted dollars, writes U.N. High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu, who argues that the “military bloat” essentially “guarantees a future of insecurity and doubt.” To relax in modern life, spend time among trees “The key to unlocking the power of the forest is in the five senses,” writes Qing Li. Spending time in nature “can restore our mood, give us back our…

The Justice Department Inspector General’s office has long exposed problems at the FBI, uncovering counterterrorism and other abuses after 9/11, when Robert Mueller was director. Since he took over in 2012, IG Michael Horowitz has often targeted FBI misconduct. SEPT. 26, 2017 Horowitz identified possible “systemic” problems in the FBI’s lax treatment of employees who posed “high-risk security concerns.” One computer specialist with top-secret clearance admitted to viewing pornography on his work computer and conversing secretly with a “foreign national” for months but faced no discipline or follow-up investigation. MARCH 14, 2018 The IG urged better training for FBI supervisors on laws protecting whistle-blowers from retaliation after unidentified supervisors threatened a technician who had reported misconduct. Two earlier investigations in 2016 also documented retaliation against whistle-blowers, which has been…

IN RESPONSE TO THE SOCIAL UPHEAVALS OF the 1960s, Hollywood produced a series of highly popular “angry man” crime dramas in the 1970s. These are the stories of vigilantes and renegade cops, played by the likes of Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson, who push past weak-willed bureaucrats, corrupt politicos and political correctness to restore justice in violent times. These are men who never let law undermine order. The U.S. is now emerging from another period of sweeping social change, economic anxiety, urban crime and pointless wars, which again has stoked demand for a tough-talking vigilante to pay weak-minded liberals a lesson. But this time, he isn’t a creation of Hollywood. He lives in the White House, and he’s playing his role with gusto. This trend is not confined to…

Here’s a handy family tree to help viewers keep track of generations past and present. THE GRANDMOTHER Donna’s glamorous mother drops in for a surprise visit—via helicopter, of course. THE MOTHER A look back at her origins will show how the singer, mother and hotel owner’s life came together. THE FATHERS Each man had a fling with Donna in the 1970s.

Sometimes heroes wear capes. Sometimes they wear Trader Joe’s shirts. In The Spy Who Dumped Me, Audrey (Mila Kunis), woeful after getting dumped by her boyfriend via text message, is momentarily buoyed when a handsome customer flirts with her in the store parking lot. When he shoves her into a van, she learns he’s not a potential rebound but a British agent hunting for information on her now-missing ex (Justin Theroux)—who, to her surprise, turns out to be in the CIA. Soon, Audrey and her best friend Morgan (Kate McKinnon) are swept up into a treacherous spy game that sends them fumbling across Europe—at first running for their lives, but quickly getting the hang of the whole international spy thing. On its surface, The Spy’s appeal lies in its…

In your new book with Amy Zegart, PoliticalRisk, you liken leaders’ ability to manage political risk to athletes doing strength conditioning. How does one condition a team for the Donald Trump era? In any era, you learn to expect the unexpected. Obviously, now there’s more volatility. But that volatility and that issue of preparing for the unexpected has been there long before this President, and it will be there long after. You have to develop that muscle to constantly look around corners. ‘VENEZUELA IS A DISASTER… AND TO LET THAT HAPPEN IS GOING TO COME BACK TO HAUNT US ALL ’ How much of that muscle training counts on imagination? With 9/11, it was the absence of imagination that they might use airplanes in that way. Some of it…

U.K. appoints new Interior Minister Sajid Javid became Britain’s Home Secretary following Amber Rudd’s resignation over a scandal involving treatment of the “Windrush” generation, migrants from former Caribbean colonies who filled labor gaps after World War II but have recently been threatened with deportation. Javid is the first nonwhite person to hold the high-ranking Cabinet post. T-Mobile and Sprint plan megamerger U.S. telecom giant T-Mobile agreed April 29 to buy its rival in a $26 billion deal. The move would narrow the U.S. wireless market to three major carriers. The companies scrapped a previous merger in 2014 over regulatory challenges, and the current deal must also pass muster with regulators to become official. Museum: Half our paintings are fakes An investigation into the collection at the Terrus Museum, an…

Trump delays tariffs for allies President Trump said on April 30 that he would postpone imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union. The U.S. and its allies will now have another month to negotiate a final agreement. Australia to spend $379M on Great Barrier Reef Australia has pledged $379 million to rescue the ailing Great Barrier Reef, in what is the country’s largest-ever single investment in reef conservation.

Judd’s suit, filed on April 30, accuses the disgraced producer of defamation and sexual harassment,…

IN A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S Dream, William Shakespeare’s characters enter a forest to find that the rules and reality of their daily lives no longer apply. Larry Harvey, founder of the Burning Man festival, was well aware of the disorienting magic that can come from a change of scenery. By the end of his life, his annual antiestablishment jubilee was drawing tens of thousands to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert each year, allowing foolish mortals to temporarily live outside the bounds of capitalism, convention and even clothes. Harvey died at age 70 on April 28 in San Francisco after suffering a stroke at his home weeks earlier. It was at a beach in that same city that 32 years before, he and his friend Jerry James first gathered a small crowd…

Seven pointers for the U.S. as it prepares for potential negotiations with Kim Jong Un’s regime and South Korea. 1. Listen to the South Koreans. And spend less time focusing on Kim Jong Un. They have a clear-eyed view of him and the dystopian kingdom that he rules with cruelty and harsh despotism. 2. Involve more nations. Despite a tendency to want all the credit if we can solve this, the U.S. needs to get China to the table—and potentially Japan and Russia too. 3. Give President Trump backup. Even with his negotiating experience, our diplomatic and military teams have to fully engage. Nominating Admiral Harry Harris Jr., the outgoing commander of U.S. Pacific Command, for U.S. ambassador to South Korea would be superb. 4. Decide what we’ll accept.…

IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME BEFORE I REALIZED THAT MY family’s struggles had not simply materialized out of thin air—that although we have rightly never made excuses about our faults, they weren’t evidence of ugliness running through our veins. My father beat my mother. My maternal grandfather beat my maternal grandmother. Moochie, my hero big brother, murdered a man. My youngest brother, Jordan, is serving 20 years in a federal prison. A nephew who was raised like a brother is in the middle of a 25-year sentence in a state facility. Another brother is serving 16 years. I know now that a sense of shame convinced us as black people to not speak too loudly about our struggles, only to fuel a cycle of violence that led to…

LAND-RIGHTS STANDOFFS Confrontations with anti–public lands militias in Nevada and Oregon led to accusations in court of misconduct by FBI agents, with one agent in Oregon now facing criminal charges for having allegedly lied about firing his weapon. TEXAS TERRORIST ATTACK In court, the FBI admitted that one of its undercover agents was present at a 2015 terrorist attack at a “Draw Mohammed” event and had previously told one of the ISIS-inspired attackers that he should “tear up Texas.” ROGUE TRANSLATOR The FBI said one of its translators on a counterterrorism squad fell in love with a top ISIS propagandist she was tracking (Denis Cuspert, above), sneaked off to Syria to marry him and told him he was under investigation. LARRY NASSAR The FBI has opened an internal investigation…

DIRECTOR X After 20 years of helming music videos for the likes of Rihanna and Drake—think “Hotline Bling”—the director takes on his first studio movie, Superfly (June 15), a remake of Gordon Parks Jr.’s 1972 blaxploitation classic about a dealer trying to escape life on the streets. BO BURNHAM The comedian became an overnight sensation on YouTube more than a decade ago. Now Burnham makes his feature debut with Eighth Grade (July 13), a tender and empathetic story about the awkwardness of adolescence in the age of social media—and always. BOOTS RILEY The activist and musician, who is the front man of the Coup and Street Sweeper Social Club, ventures into film with Sorry to Bother You (July 6), a fantastical comedy about a telemarketer who must…

IN A TOWN NOTORIOUS FOR LEAKING, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has been a striking exception to the rule. Since launching its investigation last May into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, the team of federal prosecutors has been tigh-tlipped, tipping its hand only when unveiling an indictment or announcing a guilty plea. While the source of the April 30 leak has not been revealed, that made the more than four dozen questions Mueller’s office would like to ask President Trump especially revealing. The questions, which probe everything from the firings of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James Comey to potential campaign coordination with Russia, represent the clearest indication yet about the focus and scope of the investigation as well as the perils it may…

DIED Tim Bergling, the Swedish DJ and electronic-dancemusic producer known as Avicii, on April 20 at 28. In a statement, his family said he “could not go on any longer.” Edward Jamieson, a former executive editor of TIME, on April 18 at 88. He began working at the magazine in 1955. SUED The Trump Administration, over its failure to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, by Texas and six other states. President Trump announced an end to the Obama-era immigration program last year, but DACA’s repeal has been delayed on the order of federal judges in other states. DRAFTED The first one-handed professional football player of the modern NFL era, linebacker Shaquem Griffin, by the Seattle Seahawks on April 28. HIRED Former NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan,…

Over two short weeks, former FBI director James Comey has sold more than 600,000 copies of his new book, A Higher Loyalty, barnstormed the interview circuit and appeared frequently in public without a tie. For a former FBI director, any of these is a dramatic break from the norm. So what does his book tell us? Chiefly this: that when President Trump asked Comey in February 2017 to “let” one piece of a criminal probe into the Russian influence operation against the prior year’s presidential election “go,” Comey declined, recorded the substance of the conversation in a memo and then, months later, leaked it to a reporter through a law professor. That move probably guaranteed that the federal probe into connections between Russia and the Trump campaign (and what,…
