MARKET WATCH With a new interactive from TIME Labs, you can see how President Trump’s tweets about companies have affected their stock prices. Click on a company’s name—like Amazon, the target of a recent series of presidential jabs—to see a stock chart that shows the two weeks prior to and two weeks after a tweet critical of that firm. See them all at time.com/tweet-stocks BEHIND THE COVER In nearly a century of publication, TIME has rarely revisited a cover concept—but this week’s issue returns to an image that was first painted by Tim O’Brien for the Feb. 27, 2017, issue (below, left). “I felt the storm metaphor was as relevant as ever,” O’Brien says of his updated illustration.

A DOZEN INTERNATIONAL COFFEE EXPERTS shuffle around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the raucous slurping begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches intently as the judges circle, awaiting a verdict on her latest crop of beans. China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu’er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China’s southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados from across the globe. “Coffee has huge potential in China,” says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity investment in Beijing to grow coffee in…

IN THE MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES SINCE CONGRESS FIRST convened, 1,974 people have served as U.S. Senators, but there were no women in that group until 1922, when Rebecca Latimer Felton was appointed. And it wasn’t until this year that a Senator gave birth while holding office. It’s no surprise that the first woman to reach this milestone was Senator Tammy Duckworth, who delivered her second child, Maile Pearl, on April 9. This is not the only first for the 50-year-old Duckworth: she was a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army and became the first female double amputee of the Iraq War when she lost both legs in combat. She then became the first disabled woman elected to Congress from any state and the first Asian-American woman to represent…

Highlights from stories on time.com/ideas A better way to debate politics Sally Kohn used to be a liberal commentator for Fox News, “the most prominent den of American conservatism,” as she puts it. In an excerpt from her new book, The Opposite of Hate, she offers three tips she’s learned for disagreeing with someone: affirm, bridge and convince. The anger in crowd-based capitalism NYU business professor Arun Sundararajan writes that the April 3 shooting at YouTube’s headquarters reflects a deepening resentment in the digital workforce as more people seek to make a living from online platforms and their algorithms without being formal employees of the companies.

ONWARD Onward Method Inc., free While a lot of apps, like Checky and OffTime, track daily phone usage, Onward offers iPhone users an additional suite of tools, helping them set future limits on when, and how often, they want to allow themselves access to certain apps. STEPLOCK Leoncvlt, free This Android app is similar to other app blockers, like QualityTime or ClearLock, except it allows you to unlock your favorite time sucks only after you’ve reached your exercise goals. Clock those steps, for example, and you get your apps back. DINNERTIME PLUS ZeroDesktop, free While kids find it infuriating, parents like the ability to use this app to monitor their kids’ phone or iPad usage in real time, determining when to schedule breaks for dinner, homework…

It used to be a perfectly adequate joke, provided there was a French person in the room: “Yours is the language of love. Mine is the language of international civil aviation.” But the Pultizer-winning poet Gregory Pardlo has erased any distinction between the two with a memoir, Air Traffic, that declaims anguished, filial love from a childhood delaminated by the PATCO strike of 1981. Pardlo’s father was one of the air traffic controllers whom Ronald Reagan fired, knocking their African-American family out of the middle class and “Big Greg” deeper into the pathology that crowds the lives of others. In the mirror his son fashions, the father’s grandiosity acts as the backing that makes reflection possible: “Whereas he wanted from me a show of gratitude, I studied him. He…

‘IT’S ONLY RECENTLY I’VE FELT LIKE I’M TOTALLY IN SYNC WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE BROADCAST ’ You went to Memphis to cover the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. Do you think a figure like King could rise in our current media climate? A lot of organizations control their own media; they can Facebook Live. So that’s obviously a challenge for how we cover things. But I was reminded, covering the anniversary, that the movement was bigger than one person, because otherwise it wouldn’t have survived. You remarked recently that you told the presidential debate commission to “lose your number” after you moderated the first Trump-Clinton debate in 2016. Why? It was tongue-in-cheek. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done professionally or maybe even…

THE AUTOCRAT’S ASCENT The April 16 cover for Karl Vick’s profile of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which asked whether the world should buy what bin Salman is selling, drew strong opinions from supporters and opponents. Twitter user @HussamAAlsaleh1 summed up many responses with an enthusiastic “We believe him, we trust him,” but others echoed Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth, who tweeted that the continued imprisonment of blogger Raif Badawi means that the crown prince is “a ‘reformer’ who wants to control any reform.” Meanwhile, the New Republic’s Jeet Heer argued that the “hero’s welcome” bin Salman got from the American press is its own answer to that question—to the point where “one wonders whether even the crown prince thought the sell would be this easy.”…

Surgeon General urges naloxone use On April 5, U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams issued his office’s first public-health advisory in 13 years, calling on Americans to carry and learn to use naloxone, the opioid-overdose antidote. The drug has saved thousands of lives when used by emergency responders and police officers. Pakistan launches new polio drive A weeklong polio vaccination drive in Pakistan aims to reach all 38.7 million children under the age of 5 in the country, one of only three left in the world where the disease is still endemic. Cases of the paralyzing virus have been steadily declining there, with just one case reported so far in 2018.

DEFEATED A proposition requiring people in Anchorage to use bathrooms that match the sex…

VIKTOR ORBAN AND Fidesz, his party, won a landslide victory on April 8 that gives them a supermajority of seats in Hungary’s parliament. Polls underestimated the party’s support, and turnout was higher than many expected, at a near record 69%. Orban, who will now serve a third consecutive four-year term as Prime Minister, ran almost his entire campaign on fear of migrants and grievance toward the E.U. over refugee quotas. And with Fidesz’s winning a two-thirds majority in parliament, Orban will no doubt become more confrontational with the European leadership in Brussels. Orban’s win marks a victory for his brand of “illiberal democracy,” which represents a direct challenge to E.U. rules and values. It’s a system of limited checks and balances in which the law exists mainly to protect…

1. BERNARD LOWE A programmer of Westworld’s hosts, Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) helps Dolores on her journey toward self-discovery. In one of Season 1’s most heartbreaking moments, he discovers that he’s a host himself. 2.

Rapper Cardi B revealed her baby bump while performing on Saturday Night Live, confirming her long-rumored pregnancy with fiancé Offset. LOVE IT A Tribe Called Quest front man Q-Tip will co-teach a course at New York University exploring the intersection of jazz and hip-hop. LEAVE IT The Simpsons’ attempt to address the controversy surrounding the character of Apu—a conversation between Marge and Lisa about political correctness—was met with criticism by some fans who saw the response as dismissive. A 128-year-old violin that Russell Crowe learned to play for Master and Commander went for $104,000 at an auction the actor held to help finance his divorce settlement.…

‘Our defense of the innocent unborn, for example, needs to be clear, firm and passionate… Equally sacred, however, are the lives of the poor, those already born.’ POPE FRANCIS, in Gaudete et Exsultate, a guide to being a model believer in a materialistic world ‘This fossil is just a piece of a whole skeleton, like a drop of rain. The rain is coming.’ AHMAD BAHAMEEM, an author of a new study on a more than 85,000-year-old finger bone in Saudi Arabia’s Nefud desert; possibly the first Homo sapiens fossil found on the peninsula, it suggests humans migrated out of Africa earlier than previously thought ‘SALARIES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.’ STEPHEN REINHARDT, U.S. Circuit Court judge, in a posthumously filed decision finding that the 1963 Equal Pay Act prohibits employers…

Brazil’s jailed leader to run for President Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is serving a jail sentence for corruption, will be registered as a presidential candidate in the October election, his Workers’ Party announced, calling him a “political prisoner.” Brazil’s electoral court could still reject Lula’s candidacy over his conviction. Puerto Rico closing nearly 300 schools The U.S. territory has suffered a sharp drop in school enrollment as it struggles to recover from Hurricane Maria. Its Department of Education said April 5 it would close 283 schools this summer. Thousands of families have left for the U.S. mainland after a long financial slump and the storm’s destruction last year. Australia to launch animal-cruelty hotline Australia’s Agriculture Minister announced a new hotline for people to report…

ANXIETY New Jersey announced March 27 the expansion of its medical-marijuana program to include anxiety, along with four other conditions. Governor Phil Murphy said reforms would reduce patient and caregiver fees. SLEEP APNEA Minnesotans with obstructive sleep apnea will be able to use medical marijuana starting this summer, the state’s health department said in November. The state also added autism to its list of conditions. PTSD In November 2017, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law making posttraumatic stress disorder the 12th condition approved on his state’s list of eligible ailments, which includes chronic pain.…

DISCUSSIONS OF THE WORKplace impacts of artificial intelligence often focus on potential lost jobs or apocalyptic scenarios. But the authors of the new book Human + Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of AI, Accenture’s Paul R. Daugherty and H. James Wilson, see the glass as decidedly more than half full. The benefits of the new tech and the jobs it will create, they argue, more than offset any downsides. But Daugherty and Wilson foresee a significant challenge retraining workers for those new jobs. Government, they say, is not focused on that challenge, and business isn’t doing enough to meet it. Moreover, an education system built around four-year degrees may not be a good fit for a world requiring continuous retraining in new skills. They predict that a majority…

Amber Spradlin tolerated the indignities of public school teaching for 13 years, but now she has had enough. “We have tried so many different things, so many different avenues, to advocate for our students,” she says. “Finally, we were saying, ‘We’re not going to take this anymore.’” Spradlin, a sixth-grade English teacher in Choctaw, Okla., was at the state capitol in Oklahoma City on April 9, missing her sixth day of work in order to demand more school funding. She’s part of a wave of teacher actions that has lately swept Republican-led states, as well as an example of this moment’s political archetype: a woman who is fed up and ready to do something about it. Fed-up women have been driving the political cycle since November 2016. The January…

The Trump Administration has seen a lot of turnover. President Carter famously purged his Cabinet in ’79. What lessons can we learn from that? Carter was a great President, and I love him, but those purges gave the impression that we were falling apart, and we had to work doubly hard in the next years to demonstrate to the American people that we were on top of the White House. Maybe that’s a good story for all of us to read together: how expensive those policies could be. You co-sponsored the Fair Housing Act, which passed 50 years ago. What can be done to enforce it better? There’s been a struggle to get the act recognized as real law. It has made significant progress possible, but we’re not there…

There’s probably no clean, organized way to make a drama that opens in Beirut in 1972 and circles back to that city a decade later, after its landscape has been drastically changed by years of civil war. Perhaps that’s why Beirut, directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist, Transsiberian), with a screenplay by Tony Gilroy (writer of Michael Clayton), doesn’t quite work. The plot takes so many twists and is so complicated by labyrinthine international affairs of state that it’s easy for the viewer to get lost. You also get the feeling that certain sociopolitical complexities have been ignored or elided. But if you can think of Beirut simply as a standard thriller, the lead performances are satisfying enough: Jon Hamm plays a U.S. diplomat who was stationed in the…

ADDICTION MEMOIR IS A GENRE WITH SO many tropes—sordid tales of excess and despair tidily resolved by a redemptive ending—that it’s difficult to imagine how a writer could do anything fresh with it. Yet that’s the remarkable feat Leslie Jamison manages in her book The Recovering: Intoxication and Its Aftermath, which seamlessly blends the story of her own alcoholism and subsequent recovery with something like a social, cultural and literary history of addiction. Jamison, whose 2014 collection of essays The Empathy Exams showed her prodigious gifts as a writer, works in a form that’s both sprawling and dense as she toggles between her own story and the stories of others—both the luminaries whose books she studied as a student, like Raymond Carver and Denis Johnson, and the ordinary people…
