THE PRESIDENT OF THE MALDIVES THREW the Indian Ocean island chain into turmoil on Feb. 5, declaring a state of emergency and locking up judges who had just thrown out a conviction against his main political rival. Here’s what’s happening. CRACKDOWN President Abdulla Yameen declared a 15-day nationwide state of emergency, granting law enforcement sweeping powers and sending soldiers onto the streets to keep order. He also had two Supreme Court judges arrested, days after the court overturned convictions against nine of the President’s opponents, including exiled former leader Mohamed Nasheed. COUP ALLEGATIONS Nasheed was sentenced to 13 years in prison on terrorism charges in 2015 following a trial that was broadly viewed as politically motivated. The former President, who lives in self-imposed exile in Sri Lanka, says the…

A New Hampshire middle school was forced to evacuate for about an hour when a student’s attempt to cook calamari for a science class caused enough smoke to set off alarms. Here, other odd reasons schools have been evacuated. AIR FRESHENER Last October, students at a school in Baltimore were evacuated and the local fire department called over a strange smell, which turned out to be a pumpkin-spice-scented air freshener. SCIENCE PROJECT A high school on Long Island was evacuated by police last summer when a mislaid science project involving a pressure cooker and a backpack was mistaken for an explosive device. BODY SPRAY In 2013, a can of Axe body spray caused a schoolwide shutdown when it was released in a classroom. Emergency forces were sent…

DIED Grammy-winning singer Dennis Edwards, who once led Motown funk group the Temptations, at 74. > Television executive Lin Bolen, who in 1972 became the highest-ranking woman in TV when she was given the title of vice president for daytime programs at NBC, at 76.

EVERYONE WHO JUST GOT MARRIED is psyched about it. It’s a new adventure with their best friend. Everyone who has been married for 50 years or more is psyched about it. They’re living with their closest companion— it’s been a trip, totally worth it. But the people in the middle? They’re, you know, they’re fine. They perhaps didn’t expect marriage to be quite as much work as it is. Not just the child care and the housekeeping and the paying of the bills but the parts that are supposed to be fun— the talking, the planning, the throwing a leg over. They had been led to believe it would feel easier, more natural. The thing about walking off into the sunset together is that then it gets dark and…

What was most important to you when you set out to have a career as a novelist, and what is most important now? I wrote my first novel when I was 15— never published—and I think I wanted to write a gay book. In 1955, that was pretty unusual. I had never read a gay book, but I had this burning need to. I suppose I thought by expressing myself or by finding the truth, that I would keep my head above water. Then I think about the time I was 30, I lost that psychological necessity of writing and I began to be interested in the actual craft. The main thing that keeps me going now? I mean, I’m 78 years old, but I’m writing a novel, full…

WHEN I SHOWED UP AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY, THE first thing they did after shaving my head was teach me to march. Over the next four years as a midshipman, I marched in countless parades, generally a couple every week. Like every other midshipman to pass through the gates of Annapolis, I hated it. Parades take a lot of work to rehearse, don’t do anything for morale, and they are expensive in terms of both time and preparation. Every time there was a parade scheduled, the entire brigade of midshipmen literally prayed to the rain gods to send a downpour and thus cancel the parade. And those were for relatively simple parades of 4,000 midshipmen who were already living within a five-minute march of the parade field—no missiles, tanks,…

AMUL THAPAR The first judge confirmed after Gorsuch, Thapar is a favorite of McConnell’s and now sits on the Sixth Circuit, which covers Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio. JOAN LARSEN Confirmed to the Sixth Circuit, Larsen is a former clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia. She served in George W. Bush’s Justice Department before joining the Michigan supreme court.

DON WILLETT Now on the Fifth Circuit, Willett is known as the “tweeter laureate” of Texas for his colorful social-media presence. ALLISON EID Eid was confirmed to the 10th Circuit, filling the seat vacated by Gorsuch. Her judicial views have been compared to those of her…

What made you want to do a family film? Having children of my own was a big motivation to do something accessible to them. I was a little girl who had rabbits, who read Beatrix Potter, who had a ceramic rabbit collection. There’s a big part of my childhood that I associate with Beatrix Potter, so I was tickled to be a part of it. Did you have to channel your inner child? Absolutely. I think in acting in general you do—but in particular, when you’re talking to a guy in a blue Lycra outfit while he’s holding a rake with a fake rabbit head on it, you’ve really got to suspend your disbelief. Tell me about the filmmaking collective you co-founded to promote female-driven storytelling. It’s a bunch…

MAKING AMERICA NUCLEAR AGAIN After reading W.J. Hennigan’s Feb. 12 cover story on the world’s nuclear arms, Democratic Nevada Representative Dina Titus tweeted her worry that President Trump could be “rolling back the clock” on atomic relations. Several readers saw parallels between the nuclear past and today. Terry Ward of Noblesville, Ind., was left just as “frightened” as he was as a 12-year-old during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, and Jagjit Singh of Los Altos, Calif., said the world should be on alert lest history repeat itself: “Forgotten are the hard lessons of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan [as] we continue to embark on the same foolish policies expecting different results.” ‘We are … spending in the wrong places when it comes to defense.’LINDSAY MARIE,…

Merkel seals coalition deal German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right Christian Democratic Union finally agreed on a new coalition with the center-left Social Democratic Party after months of political uncertainty following Germany’s September elections. El Chapo’ jurors to be anonymous A federal judge in Brooklyn ruled that the jury selected to determine the fate of Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán will receive special protections including being anonymous and partly sequestered “to protect their privacy.” False tsunami alert on East Coast Thousands of East Coast residents received an official alert warning of an impending tsunami on Feb. 6, which turned out to be a routine test message that was wrongly sent out. The alert was sent about a month after Hawaiians received a false alert of a missile attack.…

Every Feb. 2, or Groundhog Day, the U.S. watches to see if Punxsutawney Phil will spy his shadow and augur six more weeks of winter. But he’s not alone. Using regional weather data, TIME looked at how accurate various groundhogs were in 2017—and what they had to say this year: UNADILLA BILL Unadilla, Neb. Accuracy: 83% Saw shadow in 2018?

Life behind bars for gymnast abuser Larry Nassar, the sports doctor who sexually assaulted at least 260 women and girls including Olympic gymnasts, was sentenced in Michigan to 40 to 125 years behind bars for molesting young athletes. It was his third prison sentence. India hunts ‘doctor’ who spread HIV Officials in northern India are hunting for a fake doctor who they believe infected dozens of people with HIV by reusing a contaminated syringe and needles. Fake doctors are widespread in India, which has a shortage of trained medics. Eagles players shun White House trip Some Philadelphia Eagles players, including Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Long, said they would not join other Super Bowl winners on a visit to the White House. President Trump has repeatedly criticized NFL players who…

THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF THE chairman of the Federal Reserve is largely an intangible one: to instill confidence in money, markets and the economy. But as soon as Jerome Powell was sworn in on Feb. 5—indeed, before he was sworn in—confidence collapsed and took the stock market with it. The Dow Jones average plummeted 666 points on Feb. 2 and 1,175 points on Feb. 5—the largest point drop in its history—before stabilizing Feb. 6. Practical-minded businesspeople may be tempted to dismiss these wild market gyrations the same way they dismiss Trump’s tweets—mere noise that obscures the music. After all, the fundamentals of the economy are good, earnings are strong, inflation and interest rates are low, so why worry? But there’s probably a signal in there somewhere. Yes, algorithmic…

ON AVERAGE, AMERICANS SPEND about a quarter of their waking hours staring at their phones. It’s a love-hate relationship: many of us would like to reduce our screen time—but phones are so useful and enjoyable that we also don’t want to just cut them out of our lives. My book How to Break Up With Your Phone is an evidence-backed plan for finding a middle ground. One of the first steps? Install a time-tracking app like Moment or (OFFTIME) to gather data on your habits and track your progress. Another important step is to choose some phone-free activities that you enjoy—and set up your environment to help make them happen. Want to read more? Put a book on your coffee table.

IT BEGAN WITH A TWEET. ON JAN. 31, SUPERMODEL KATE Upton wrote, “It’s disappointing that such an iconic women’s brand @Guess is still empowering Paul Marciano as their creative director #metoo.” In an interview with TIME, Upton detailed her claims against Marciano, co-founder and former CEO of Guess, who she says assaulted and began harassing her during her first professional modeling campaign when she was 18. Harassment has plagued the fashion industry for decades, but allegations have often been ignored. Many models work as independent contractors and have few legal protections; last month lawmakers introduced a bill in New York that would hold designers, retailers and agencies accountable for abuses. In a statement to TIME, Marciano called the accusations “absolutely false” and “preposterous.” “I have never been alone with…

A FEW DAYS AFTER DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED President in November 2016, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell placed a call to incoming White House counsel Don McGahn. McConnell knew Trump had a chance to change the ideological makeup of the federal court system in a way not seen since the Reagan era, but only if McConnell and McGahn could get him to tighten up a disorderly political operation, and fast. “I said, Don, we’ve got an opportunity here to have a huge long-term impact on the country,” McConnell recalls, sitting in a cushioned chair in his Capitol office one day last month. He made McGahn a promise to move qualified judges through the Senate confirmation process as quickly as the White House could send them. The conversation launched what…

TARZAN AND HIS MATE (1934) This all-ages adventure, made in precode Hollywood, hints at conjugal bliss between Johnny Weissmuller’s Tarzan and Maureen O’Sullivan’s Jane. NOW, VOYAGER (1942) Even though thwarted lovers Bette Davis and Paul Henreid never make it into bed, their twin lit cigarettes will blaze throughout eternity. A PLACE IN THE SUN (1951) Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift share one of the most intimate and carnal kisses ever filmed, shot in close-up by director George Stevens. THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1968) A fully clothed Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen undress each other, figuratively speaking, across a chessboard. Checkmate. BODY HEAT (1981) In this update of the 1944 noir Double Indemnity, femme fatale Kathleen Turner ensnares William Hurt with her husky voice and other attributes. THE LAST SEDUCTION…

THE STARS OF THE 15:17 TO PARIS, DIRECTED BY Clint Eastwood, aren’t movie stars at all. They aren’t even actors. Instead, they’re a trio of young men, friends from childhood, who in 2015 foiled an attempted attack on a train from Amsterdam to Paris, subduing and disarming a man who had just opened fire on passengers with an AK-47. In the movie’s tense climax, Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler—then a U.S. Airman, National Guardsman and college student, respectively— re-create the moment in which they leaped to action almost without thinking. It sounded brave enough when we all first heard about it. But it’s even more remarkable as Eastwood renders it, and the men—all charmers, with none of the stagy stiffness common to nonactors—bring that moment to life…

When did you start writing Brave? Three years ago, but in a lot of ways I’d been formulating it my whole life. How did the cascade of accusations against the person you call “the Monster” change what happened with the book? I am one of the people that started that process, behind the scenes, a lot earlier. While I was writing this book, I was being harassed by his lawyers. So Shaunna Thomas from the [women’s rights] group UltraViolet put me in touch with the media. NBC and the New York Times were in a race for the story, and to make sure it didn’t die, I played both sides. I’ve been working for 20 years at this. You remind me of an Old Testament prophet, crying that the…

‘O CANADA! OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND! TRUE PATRIOT LOVE IN ALL OF US COMMAND.’ NEW GENDER-NEUTRAL ENGLISH LYRICS to the Canadian national anthem, which lawmakers approved ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics; the line previously referred to the patriotism of “all thy sons” ‘All these lambs walked into slaughter because they were convinced nobody rises to such a position who would do something illegal to you, but they do.’ UMA THURMAN, actor, becoming the latest Hollywood star to accuse producer Harvey Weinstein of forcing himself on her in a hotel room GOOD WEEK NorCal California’s Redwood Coast tops list of best places to visit in the U.S. BAD WEEK SoCal L.A. tops worldwide list of cities with the worst traffic congestion $1.50 Increase in the weekly take-home salary…

PROHIBITIONS Egged on by influential conservative groups, Indonesia’s parliament is considering legal reforms that would outlaw sex between same-sex people, and allow unmarried people caught having sex to be jailed for up to five years. PREJUDICE The legal moves come as the country’s LGBT community has become a target for police and politicians. Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu called gay activists more dangerous than a nuclear bomb, while police in Aceh— the only province where homosexuality is illegal—recently arrested 12 transgender women after forcing them to strip in public. POLITICS Fringe parties and ultra-conservative groups have positioned themselves as defenders of moral values, and successfully mobilized popular support for their causes. In a recent survey, nearly 90% of Indonesians who understand the term LGBT said they felt “threatened” by the…

NO ONE WANTS TO ARGUE AGAINST GIVING potentially beneficial drugs to people who need them. But not everyone in the medical community is convinced that a national “right to try” policy, which would allow people with fatal illnesses to have access to drugs not yet approved by federal authorities, will make life better for patients. Such laws have already passed in dozens of states, and the Senate passed a version of the federal bill in August. Now, as the House of Representatives weighs a bill on the matter—a proposal that President Donald Trump lauded in his Jan. 30 State of the Union address—doctors and medical ethicists are sounding an alarm. For a drug to be approved for use in the U.S., it must undergo several rounds of clinical testing.…

I FIRST MET JOHN MAHONEY, WHO DIED ON FEB. 4 at 77, when in 1979 he graciously accepted an invitation by a group of punks to join Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company. He was 15 years older than I was, and I was so impressed that he had quit the security of his full-time job as the editor of a medical journal to pursue his childhood dream of acting—and that he decided to do it with us. I loved going to his apartment in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, where he would trounce us in his favorite card game, called May I?, and cook a giant pot of spaghetti and meatballs. I loved being with him both on- and offstage, and I miss seeing him clap his hands in…

‘Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal adviser to the staff of the Kremlin.’CARTER PAGE, former Trump aide A FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN ADVISER BRAGGED ABOUT HIS ties to the Kremlin in an August 2013 letter obtained by TIME. “Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal adviser to the staff of the Kremlin,” Carter Page wrote to an academic press in a dispute over edits to a manuscript he had submitted for publication. The letter raises new questions about the extent of Page’s contacts with the Russian government and casts a pall over the controversial memo released by House Republicans on Feb. 2, as part of their effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s…

WHEN IT COMES TO RETIREMENT PLANNING, WE NATURALLY focus on the risks we’re most aware of—for instance, the possibility that this nine-year-old bull market could give way to a ravaging bear. Or that an unscrupulous or incompetent adviser might talk us into bad investments. Here are three risks that may not be top of mind but that you should still guard against: 1. COMPLACENCY RISK Maybe you set your savings rate early in your career, when your budget was especially tight, and haven’t raised it since. Or perhaps you were automatically signed up for your 401(k) at a default rate of 3% to 6% and you never increased it. Still, aided by the double-digit market returns of recent years, your retirement account balances seemed to be growing nicely, so…
