Sergio García is a rarity among the world's best golfers: he's been so good, for so long, that fans know him by a single name--yet entering this year's Masters, he had never won a major tournament. That drought, spanning 73 career starts, ended on April 9 in an unforgettable fashion. After trading shots with Justin Rose across the storied back nine at Augusta National, García, 37, had a chance to clinch the title with a putt on 18. He missed it, sending the pair to a one-hole playoff. This time García was as good as gold, sinking a birdie putt that caused the staid crowd to erupt in shouts of "Ser-gee-oh! Ser-gee-oh!" It was a moment of redemption for García, whose reputation has been dogged by his inability to win…

Denise is set on attending a top medical school. Michelle heads off to a jazz conservatory. Olivia wants to make a documentary film. Alex sets up a coding business with her brother. Finally, there's Caroline, who wants to be a writer. The five members of Princeton's class of 2014 appear in Caroline Kitchener's carefully reported, empathetic Post Grad, the latest book depicting real life after the world of privilege at one of America's top colleges. Each one struggles. "The first year out of college is a hard year," Kitchener writes. "For me it was the hardest year." Three of them seek out therapy or counseling. The fourth searches for a church. The fifth tries everything from Buddhism to hallucinogens to polyamory. Stripped of the comfort of college, they are hungry…

LOVE IT The play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a sequel to J.K. Rowling's novels, won a record-breaking nine trophies at Britain's Olivier Awards. MTV will eliminate gender-specific acting categories for its upcoming Movie & TV Awards in May. An IKEA store arranged a toilet display to resemble Game of Thrones' infamous Iron Throne. 'Being in the Spice Girls was so much fun, but I was never the best singer or dancer.' Victoria Beckham, formerly known as Posh Spice, in an interview with Elle U.K. Alec Baldwin continues his streak of impersonating powerful head honchos in the animated movie The Boss Baby, which topped the U.S. box office two weeks in a row. Comedian and Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj will host the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April…

What is the single most important thing we can do for our kids? Research shows that the presence of stable, trusting adult relationships in the lives of young people is a key factor--perhaps the key factor--in keeping them in school. Children need to get a high-quality education, avoid violence and the criminal-justice system and gain jobs. But they deserve more. We want them to learn not only reading and math but fairness, caring, self-respect, family commitment and civic duty. What have been the watershed moments in terms of progress and regression? The high school graduation rate, now 83.2%, is higher than it's ever been. High-quality early-childhood programs and health coverage have expanded, and the number of mentoring relationships for at-risk youth has risen dramatically. That progress is encouraging, but it's…

Tesla, based in Palo Alto, Calif., is 14 years old, offers just three models and sells fewer cars annually than Ford sells hatchbacks. Yet on April 10, its market value reached $51.5 billion, surpassing GM's. How can Tesla stay at cruising speed? MAINTAIN ITS STORY Tesla's rally is irrational. Investors don't care that in 2016 it sold 76,230 cars globally, compared with GM's 10.3 million. Or that it may lose close to $1 billion this year. They have faith in the story CEO Elon Musk has been telling about one day dominating the market for electric power. MAKE GOOD ON MODEL 3 The new Model 3 is Tesla's first mass-market car. The sedan, like its predecessors, is sleek, fast and all electric. But its price starts at just $35,000.…

Are billionaire philanthropists uniquely good for society? Not always, writes David Callahan in The Givers. The author argues that while the decision to spend massive amounts of money on causes ranging from curing disease to remaking public education may seem wholly positive, megafoundations with recognizable names can have undemocratic effects. "If you don't favor same-sex marriage or charter schools or shutting down coal plants," he writes, "you might not be too thrilled with how some billionaires have been deploying their money--subsidized, I should add, by your own tax dollars," since donations even to foundations that specifically work to shape policy are often deductible. At issue for Callahan is not so much the impulse to give but outdated government incentives to mix giving with advocacy. This amounts, he says, to the…

The association between Easter and eggs runs deep. The hatching of a chick is both seasonally and metaphorically appropriate for a springtime holiday of rebirth. But the forging of that link can be traced to decidedly less profound origins. To look for the beginnings of the Easter egg, start in medieval Europe. One possible origin: the strict fasting rules of the time, which barred eating any animal product during Lent. Hens, however, kept laying anyway. So Christians would hard-boil and store their eggs for later, according to Henry Kelly, a professor of medieval studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Some of those eggs would be given to the poor, and villagers brought them as Easter gifts to their manorial lords. Eggs could also be brought to church as…

In the early weeks after Dave died, I was shocked when I'd see friends who did not ask how I was doing. I felt invisible, as if I were standing in front of them but they couldn't see me. When someone shows up with a cast, we immediately inquire, "What happened?" If your life is shattered, we don't. People continually avoided the subject. I went to a close friend's house for dinner, and she and her husband made small talk the entire time. I listened, mystified, keeping my thoughts to myself. I got emails from friends asking me to fly to their cities to speak at their events without acknowledging that travel might be more difficult for me now. Oh, it's just an overnight? Sure, I'll see if Dave can…

John Leguizamo has a recurring bit in Latin History for Morons, the one-man show he's performing through April 28 at New York City's Public Theater. Anytime he's insulted by another character--played, as they all are, by Leguizamo--he stands on tiptoe, puffs up his chest like a threatened grizzly and demands, "Do you know me, man?" It's a memorable refrain, but it's a red herring. The show only exists because of Leguizamo's realization, a few years back, that he didn't know himself. Although Leguizamo, 52, is well-known for movie roles like Benny Blanco from the Bronx in Carlito's Way and Tybalt in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, Latin History is his sixth one-man play. It's a primer on the history of people of Latin descent in the Americas, flavored by the…

Dear Owen, Well, here we are. In just a few weeks you will graduate from college. Many things have happened over the past four years; the biggest is that while I was looking the other way, you became a man--someone who can drink and vote and die for our country. (I know you do the first two; I hope you never do the last.) You're wrapping up your college years writing your thesis (puzzles in the work of Emily Dickinson), and I'm wrapping up your college years cataloging my regrets (puzzles in the work of motherhood). When I was your age, a writing teacher told me that everything funny is a little bit sad, and everything sad is a little bit funny. For some reason this keeps coming back to…

'My motto is, "Why not?" and I always stick by it.' Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder guard, explaining his mind-set after breaking Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson's 1961--62 record for most triple-doubles in a season; according to the NBA, Westbrook is only the second player in league history "to average a triple-double over an entire season" 6,755 Number of United States Postal Service workers who were attacked by dogs in 2016, 200 more than the year before 88 Percentage of doctors who recommended mammograms to women ages 45 to 49 in 2016, according to a new study in JAMA, despite U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidance that year that most women ages 40 to 49 should make an individual decision about the screening 17.8 Weight, in tons, of a meteorite…

Polls favor the national front's Marine Le Pen and independent Emmanuel Macron to go forward into the second round of the French presidential election after the first stage of voting on April 23. But a trio of populist fringe candidates have shaken up the race in the final weeks before the polls open: JEAN-LUC MÉLENCHON The French far-left firebrand has surged in recent polls, thanks to a fervent, youthful fan base, and now rivals scandal-tainted conservative candidate François Fillon for third place. He has eclipsed the Socialist Party's candidate, Benoît Hamon, and is threatening to steal votes from the centrist Macron. The founder of France Unbowed has a populist platform and aims to lower the retirement age to 60, increase taxes on high earners and take France out of the…

After years of sales abuses came to light last year, Wells Fargo announced on April 10 that it's clawing back $75 million more in pay from former CEO John Stumpf and former community bank head Carrie Tolstedt--bringing the total recovered from both to over $135 million. Here are other notable recent take-backs: $505.8 MILLION Tyco sought to recover more than half a billion dollars in compensation and benefits from former CEO Dennis Kozlowski, and the parties settled for an undisclosed amount days before a trial in 2012. Kozlowski was jailed on charges including fraud in 2005. $400 MILLION UnitedHealth Group's former CEO William McGuire forfeited over $400 million in stock options to the SEC and his company to settle an investigation into options practices in 2007. (Total after repricing and…

When you retire depends a lot on what you do. Here's what the data behind more than 240 professions reveals about American retirees, as measured in Census data from 2010 to 2015. WHO RETIRES EARLIEST Nearly 10% of dentists may work past retirement age, but the same is not true of their assistants. Jobs with the fewest number of older workers tend to be technical or related to the medical or service industries. WHO WORKS LONGEST One in seven tax preparers is over age 65, making it the major profession with the oldest workers. Not all occupations with later retirement ages are desk jobs. Many farmers and ranchers work well into their 70s. WHERE RETIREES MOVE People who move after leaving the workforce are overwhelmingly likely to seek the warmth…

TIME: Why this show now? Elisabeth Moss: I get asked a lot whether the show is in response to the election, but we were filming beforehand. Margaret Atwood: The control of women and babies has been a part of every repressive regime in history. This has been happening all along. I don't take it lightly when a politician says something like a pregnancy can't result from a rape because a woman's body knows it and rejects it. There's an undercurrent of this [type of thinking]. And then it rises to the surface sometimes. But The Handmaid's Tale is always relevant, just in different ways in different political contexts. Not that much has changed. Moss: When we first met, we were in a very loud restaurant, so I was sort of…

Nearly 100 years ago, the Osage tribe of Oklahoma were thought to be the wealthiest people per capita in the world, thanks to their oil-rich reservation, kindly sold back to them by the federal government that had snatched it away. The hundreds of millions of dollars that spewed from those wells funded lavish mansions, chauffeured cars and couture wardrobes for the Osage. They'd have been richer still--perhaps not striving at a 20% poverty rate today--were it not for the parasitic Getty dynasty and others. Or for the fact that the Osage began to be systemically murdered, a crime David Grann examines in his unsurprisingly extraordinary new book, Killers of the Flower Moon. What at first seemed to be coincidental killings came to fit a pattern of conspiracy. As the body…

When you first became an ob-gyn, you did not perform abortions because you felt it conflicted with your Christian principles. What changed? I've been a Christian longer than I've been a physician. When I chose a career as a women's health provider, I had to think more seriously, more deeply about the fact that I see women on a regular basis who have unplanned and unwanted pregnancies. The compassion that welled up inside me for each woman--each woman had a story, a circumstance--it came to a point where increasingly it was uncomfortable to be saying no. What I believed and what I practiced began to come into conflict. How did you reconcile your religious beliefs with your sense of professional obligation? My epiphany came while listening to a sermon by…
