CHANGE IS A TRADITION AT TIME, I NOTED IN MY FIRST letter to readers in this space. As we approach our first century—this week marks our 95th year—we continue to evolve, in ways large and small, to tell the story of these extraordinary times. Beginning with this issue, longtime readers will notice a few additions and changes. One of TIME’s greatest assets is our access to the world’s most influential voices. A new feature, “TIME with…,” pairs one of our correspondents with a major newsmaker. This week, Washington bureau chief Massimo Calabresi talks with California Congressman Adam Schiff, a cautious, wonky lawyer who is suddenly stirring passions on all sides of the investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 election. Elsewhere in the issue, correspondent Vivienne Walt travels to…

IT’S OH SIX HUNDRED HOURS WHEN A VOICE crackles through the loudspeaker and into the cabins of the roughly 5,300 sailors, civilians and pilots who live aboard the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, and another day begins on what they call their “floating city.” By day’s end, more than 100 sorties will have been launched, flying out over the disputed waters of the South China Sea. One of America’s longest-serving Nimitz class aircraft carriers, the Vinson dropped anchor on March 5 in waters near Da Nang, Vietnam, midway through a deployment that has already sent its formation of ships to Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines. The mission marks a strengthening of regional ties, especially with former American foe Vietnam; it’s the first time a U.S. carrier has visited the country since…

SITTING AT THE DINNER TABLE ONE NIGHT IN THE SUMMER OF 1954, my father asked me if I would like to go to Vancouver to see the British Empire Games. “It will be as close as you or I will ever get to actually seeing an Olympics,” he said, “and it ends with the Miracle Mile, the race between the world’s only four-minute milers.” Coming just months after that record was first broken by Roger Bannister, who died on March 3 at 88, it was a gift from a busy, somewhat distant father to a dutiful, shy son. The race did not disappoint. I was spellbound for all four laps. At the half-mile, the loudspeaker announced the time: “1:58…” The tenths were drowned out by the roar of the…

A selection of stories now published on time.com/ideas Why black children would be the victims of armed teachers While most mass school shootings have been perpetrated by white people, studies have found that teachers disproportionately discipline students of color; NAACP Legal Defense Fund president Sherrilyn I fill argues that the trend would in all likelihood extend to using firearms in the classroom. What would happen if women could say only 100 words a day? In an exclusive excerpt from Christina Dalcher’s forthcoming debut novel, Vox, a woman endures a ban, telling herself, “Think about what you need to do to stay free.” The case for practicing your sense of smell Ever read your milk’s label instead of sniffing it to see if it has expired? Or guess a banana’s…

In 2012 Dominique Crenn became the first woman in the U.S. to receive two Michelin stars, blazing a new trail for women in the male-dominated restaurant world. In addition to her award-winning flagship restaurant Atelier Crenn, the San Francisco–based chef also operates a second restaurant, Petit Crenn, and plans to open a third, Bar Crenn, in March. She is part of Firsts, an ongoing series about women who have shattered glass ceilings in their fields. ‘We have to work very hard to undo the things we’ve done so badly.’DOMINIQUE CRENN, the first woman to receive two Michelin stars in the U.S. BOTH OF MY PARENTS CAME FROM FARMING FAMILIES in Brittany, France. I spent a lot of time on the farm during the holidays and was fascinated by the…

Adèle Exarchopoulos Blue Is theWarmest Color (2013) In this French film the character Adèle falls in and out of love with an older artist (Léa Seydoux) Daniel Franzese Mean Girls (2004) Franzese’s raucous sidekick Damian was a rare gay character in 2000s teen romcoms, even if he didn’t get much plot of his own Alex Hibbert Moonlight (2016) Chiron knows he’s different from other boys as early as childhood; coming to terms with that difference makes for a masterpiece…

‘I really wanted to write a tribute to my brother, but it’s also a love song to the country.’LUIS ALBERTO URREA WHEN THE NOVELIST LUIS ALBERTO Urrea was 14 or 15, he took a trip deep into Mexico. He was born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and a white American mother before moving just across the border and eventually into the San Diego suburbs. But his father thought he was becoming “too American,” and took him on a 27-hour journey to Mazatlán. Along the way, his father gave him a paperback copy of The Godfather and told him it would change his life. “I don’t think he was trying to make a case for us being criminals,” Urrea says, “but he really felt this incredible connection to the…

The case against selfies Selfies may not be as flattering as you think. Selfies taken from a foot away from your face may distort the dimensions and proportions of your nose enough to make it appear roughly 30% larger than it is, according to a research letter published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery. Photos taken from 5 ft. away, by contrast, lead to no such distortions. So back off. A craft beer in every tap BrewDog, a Scottish beermaker, has announced plans to open its first beer hotel in early 2019. When the 26-room DogHouse hotel opens, guests will have access to cold brews straight from the comfort of their rooms. Each room will feature beer taps. The hotel, which will be located at the brewery’s headquarters, will have…

France aims to set new legal age of sexual consent France has moved to change its legal age of sexual consent to 15, following two high-profile cases of men accused of having sex with 11-year-old girls. Under current legislation, sex with individuals under 15 is illegal only if the act was forced. The new law will be presented to France’s Cabinet on March 21. U. S. military: Niger mission lacked proper approval The Defense Department’s investigation into the deaths of four U.S. soldiers in Niger on Oct. 4 found that the team didn’t receive the required senior command approval for the risky mission to capture ISIS militant Doundou Chefou.

WALES Activists are attempting to rid the island of Anglesey of single-use plastic bottles, cutlery and straws to make the entire district plastic-free. Plans for an islandwide water-refill system are being discussed. THAILAND The Akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok hotel, set to open this spring, will feature no single-use plastic. Guests will be given refillable stainless-steel water bottles when they check in, and rooms will contain biodegradable bin bags. U.S. In Seattle, a citywide ban on plastic straws and utensils where food and drinks are sold will begin in July. The Strawless in Seattle campaign follows similar moves by California cities San Luis Obispo and Davis.…

GLOBAL MARKETS REACTED badly to the resignation of Trump economic adviser Gary Cohn—and with good reason. He was a critical architect of business’s biggest victory under Trump—the $1.5 trillion tax reform/tax cut—and he was the strongest bulwark against a trade war, the global CEO’s greatest nightmare. In the aftermath of the resignation, Trump took to Twitter to say he “will be making a decision soon on the appointment of new Chief Economic Advisor,” adding that there are “many people wanting the job.” One of the first names floated was Peter Navarro, whose protectionist views were kept in check by Cohn. Even if the job goes to a more business-friendly candidate, it’s hard to imagine that that adviser will have the clout Cohn did. While he and Trump disagreed on…

The message for Europe is loud and clear: Populism isn’t dead. It isn’t even wounded IT’S HARD TO BE surprised when Italians vote for change. After all, this is a country that has had more than 60 governments in just over 70 years. But the results of the general election on March 4 were striking nonetheless. The right-wing and anti-establishment parties angry about immigration carried the day, and now President Sergio Mattarella must decide who will have first shot at leading the ugly process of trying to form a new government. In the meantime, the message for Europe is loud and clear: Populism isn’t dead. It isn’t even wounded. AFTER THE Trump and Brexit votes in 2016, the perception was that Europe had taken a step back from…

The 54-year-old Veep creator’s new film, The Death of Stalin, is a farcical take on the political scrambling that followed the titular event. The film was banned in Russia but will arrive in U.S. theaters on March 9. ‘THEY CIRCULATED JOKE BOOKS ABOUT STALIN, EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD BE SHOT FOR BEING IN POSSESSION OF ONE’ How did you first connect with this story? I was already thinking of looking at a fictional dictator. There were unusual things happening in Europe—strong leaders emerging, and nationalist movements and disruption. Then I got sent [the book on which the film is based]. I thought, Why come up with a fiction when it’s all true? Having made a study of power’s absurdity, how did looking at this real history affect your view…

GOT NONDAIRY? Alternative milks are projected to be a $16 billion global industry in 2018, according to Innova Market Insights. ALONG WITH SELF-DRIVING CARS AND A manned trip to Mars, one of modern society’s most pressing technological challenges has been developing tasty nondairy alternatives to milk. In the race to fill the nation’s cereal bowls and coffee mugs, almond milk has recently reigned supreme, but when the water-guzzling beverage (one almond requires about a gallon of water to grow) got linked to the California drought, the successor to soy milk fell from grace. Except for soy, no other nondairy milks have caught on domestically. They are too thin, too bitter or contain a long list of artificial thickeners and preservatives: xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate. Then came Oatly,…

Gary Cohn’s departure seemed to signal that the anti-tariff faction had lost the internal battle ON FEB. 28, JOHN FERRIOLA, THE CEO OF America’s largest steel producer, Nucor, got a call from the White House. Could he be in Washington the next day? With few details to go on, Ferriola dutifully showed up at the West Wing on March 1, where he and a dozen other metals-company executives were ushered into the Cabinet Room. Soon, they were told, they would be having a private meeting with President Donald Trump. The topic was the imposition of tariffs on imported steel and other metals, measures the industry has long sought. As Trump talked, it seemed to Ferriola that the President was leaning toward action but hadn’t made up his mind. By…

Microsoft founder finds lost Second World War ship Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Paul Allen discovered the wreck of the U.S.S. Lexington, an aircraft carrier that was sunk 76 years ago by the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW II’s Battle of the Coral Sea. Allen’s personal vessel located the missing wreck about 500 miles off the eastern Australian coast. Sri Lanka declares national state of emergency A nationwide state of emergency was imposed in Sri Lanka after unrest between Sinhalese and Muslim communities led to arson and riots. The government blocked certain social-media platforms, hoping to prevent violence from spreading.

DIED Canadian physicist Richard E. Taylor, who in 1990 shared the Nobel Prize for Physics for confirming the existence of sub-particles known as quarks, at 88. ENDED A 12-day standoff between the Trump Organization and the owners of the Trump Hotel in Panama City, after the U.S. President’s company gave up control of the building.

Why are you suddenly in the spotlight? The Russia investigation has [fueled] interest in what I’m doing, [as has] being attacked periodically by the President. Is Russia messing with American politics? On the NFL’s take-a-knee issue… we see continuing exploitation of our racial divisions. [And we see] exploitation of the gun divide. What’s your next political move? I thought about running for the Senate [if Dianne Feinstein retired]. That was the only other office I’d given thought to. Right now I’ve directed my nonwork attention to [taking] back the House.…

Why will the dating app ban most photos of guns? We were founded with safety at the helm of everything we do. Bumble is a mechanism to connect. People are putting themselves out there, they’re showcasing themselves. We don’t want guns to be part of that conversation. We don’t want guns to be romanticized You said this wasn’t a politically driven decision. Is that really true? Seventeen lives were taken [in Parkland, Fla.]. I don’t care if you are a Democrat or a Republican. Those were human lives that were lost on a random Wednesday when they were in what is supposed to be the safest place for our children: school. They were learning; they were working toward their future. That, for me, is bigger than politics. That, for…

If you want to protect yourself from colds and flu, regular exercise may be the ultimate immunity booster. Studies have shown that moderate aerobic exercise—30 to 45 minutes per day of activities like walking, biking or running—can more than halve your risk for respiratory infections, partly by increasing circulation of immune cells. But when you feel sick, the story changes. “Exercise is great for prevention, but it can be lousy for therapy,” says David Nieman, director of the Human Performance Lab at Appalachian State University. Research shows that moderate exercise has no effect on the duration or severity of the common cold, in which symptoms occur from the neck up. If you have the flu or another fever-causing infection, exercise can slow recovery. Your immune system is working overtime…

IT’S ABOUT 3:30 P.M. ON A WEDNESDAY IN FEBRUARY, AND some 700,000 people are anxiously waiting for Scott Rogowsky to show up. As the minutes tick by, their anticipation lights up their smartphone screens at an increasingly frantic pace. But Rogowsky is hunched over a laptop in SoHo cramming for the upcoming trivia game he’s about to host. (By the time he gets to it, about a million players will have logged on.) He’s quiet and focused until he isn’t: “What did Dr. Robotnik do?” he asks incredulously, referring to the fictional villain from the Sonic the Hedgehog video-game series. The typical preshow routine for Rogowsky, one of the hosts of the wildly popular HQ Trivia, isn’t usually so rushed. For the uninitiated, HQ Trivia is a live game…

THERE’S A PRECEDENT FOR STORIES about gay teens coming into themselves. At the movies, films with lofty aspirations, from Oscar winner Moonlight to Cannes favorite Blue Is the Warmest Color, have made stirring and provocative art out of growing up—both what it’s like to discover your sexuality and how to reconcile it with the rest of yourself as you becomes an adult. This year, Call Me by Your Name, a delicately made film about a teenage boy who learns valuable lessons after having an affair with his father’s assistant, was effectively welcomed into the canon when it was nominated for four Oscars. But those films are all squarely aimed at adults. Sure, there might be some teens seeking out CallMe by Your Name, but they’re hardly the traditional target…

Thoroughbreds, a satirical psychological thriller coming out on March 9, opens with a teenage girl (Olivia Cooke) euthanizing a horse in a particularly gruesome manner. Later, she contemplates applying the same skills to the stepdad of her miserable friend (Anya Taylor-Joy). In Flower (March 16), Zoey Deutch plays a teen who takes down her suburb’s seedy men by seducing them, and then extorting them for money. Their motivations differ, yet these characters represent a kind of update to an apathetic teenage antihero we’ve seen before—think Winona Ryder in Heathers or Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions. It’s tempting to read these films as a condemnation of how narcissistic today’s kids can be. But both films have much to say about the world around these teens: Flower emerges as a…

OF THE U.S.’S 417 NATIONAL PARK SITES, one—the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 469-mile stretch of land that extends from North Carolina to Virginia—is now the most popular. Known as “America’s Favorite Drive,” the Blue Ridge Parkway weaves through mountain towns along the Appalachians starting from Virginia. In 2017, more than 16 million people visited the site, bumping it ahead of 2016’s most popular national park, San Francisco’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area, according to the National Park Service’s annual Visitation Highlights report. Blue Ridge Parkway is home to aging roads that stem back to 1935, which is why the National Park Service is in the midst of a renovation project there. Other scenic roadways in the national park system that were popular with travelers last year include the George…

‘I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE THAT WOMEN ARE BEING SYSTEMICALLY HELD BACK’ Are you surprised at the success of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, which has been No. 1 on Amazon for several weeks? Surprised barely covers it. I can’t reconcile myself to what’s been happening since September 2016. How did it start? I put three videos [on YouTube]. One objecting to new legislation in Canada that required a form of compelled speech under the guise of compassion for the downtrodden. Another objecting to the University of Toronto’s requirement that its human-resources staff undergo unconscious-bias training, which I regard as scientifically suspect. And another detailing the structure of what I regard as the politically correct game. Is it fair to say that you attract…
