President Trump will honor his pledge to build a border wall, and he has answered Mexico's refusal to pay for it with threats of a 20% tax on Mexican imports. He says he'll renegotiate NAFTA, and Mexicans fear he'll try to limit investment in their country's manufacturing and automotive sectors to revive those industries in the U.S. So how will Mexico respond? It could answer Trump by electing a populist firebrand of its own--a President of the left who vows to punch back. Mexico's current President, Enrique Peña Nieto, had plenty of problems long before Trump entered the White House. Corruption scandals and his failure to put an end to Mexico's bloody drug wars have driven his poll numbers down in recent years. His approval stood at 12% as 2017…

DIED British actor John Hurt, 77, whose career spanned six decades and included roles in The Elephant Man, Alien and the Harry Potter movies. Hurt, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015, continued to work until his death, most recently in Jackie, alongside Natalie Portman.

INCLUDED Cats, in the Westminster Dog Show,…

Experts have long known that people with strong social networks tend to eat healthier, exercise more and even live longer. Now they're developing a more nuanced understanding of why. Scientists used to think that having another person around helped survival in a very practical way: if you fall ill (or fall over), you stand a better chance of getting the help you need if there's someone by your side. Now they're discovering that there may be something more at play. FAMILY TIES ARE LINKED TO IMPROVED LONGEVITY There are plenty of good reasons to spend more time with your grown kids or to call your sister, and living longer turns out to be one of them. The link between strong family ties and longevity is clear, and researchers are learning…

Like many of the other nearly 9 million people in California who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, artist Eric Rewitzer reacted to Donald Trump's victory as if a tornado had swept his house away. "I just didn't believe he was serious," says the longtime San Francisco resident. "And I didn't see it coming." As disbelief gave way to sadness and then anger, the bespectacled printmaker found himself sitting at the table in the middle of his studio just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. He and his wife are known for their prints of a sweet "California bear," a version of the grizzly on the state's flag that likes to give hugs and sells very well at airport souvenir shops. But after he spent 40 hours carving and pressing a…

IN 1858, Walt Whitman saw an America that was gorging itself on information and condiments, roiled by political tensions and, just as bad, physically weak. This drove him, three years after the first edition of Leaves of Grass, to write a newspaper serial titled Manly Health and Training, which had been lost but now is found and will soon be republished. The manual proves that little has changed in the ever rebranded fitness industry. But Whitman, as punchy and commanding as a SoulCycle instructor, was selling more than a lifestyle. He was selling an ethos, albeit one with the eugenic undertones that plague his legacy. Whitman wrote from and for the North on the eve of the Civil War, seeking a "nation of fighting men" with not only magnetism but…

What reaction have you gotten from people in Liberty City, Miami, where the movie is set? The community really took ownership. People see the main character as any one of the hundreds of kids living in that neighborhood. [Writer] Tarell Alvin McCraney and I are from that neighborhood, and they see that we have a Golden Globe, that we have eight Academy Award nominations, and they see themselves in that. Do you see the main character, Chiron, as an antidote to stereotypes about black masculinity? It's not that characters like Chiron didn't exist before. It's just that they don't often get centered in narratives. There was a point where I realized there were things happening in front of the camera that I hadn't seen very often, or ever. Watching a…

FRANÇOIS FILLON The center-right candidate for Les Républicains is a free-market evangelist who wants Russian sanctions lifted and takes a hard-line stance on immigration and Islamic terrorism. He was leading in polls until becoming engulfed in a scandal over claims he paid public funds to his wife. He denies the allegations, but the party is said to be eyeing replacements. MARINE LE PEN The far-right National Front leader is staunchly anti-immigration, vowing to cut admissions by 95%. She promises to dismantle France's relationship with the E.U. and seek closer ties with Russia, and sees herself and U.S. President Donald Trump as part of a global antiestablishment movement. A Feb. 1 poll by Elabe has her leading the first round. BENOÎT HAMON The so-called Gallic Bernie Sanders won the Socialist Party…

STRAWBERRIES The University of Florida's strawberry-breeding program used modern chemistry and genetic analysis to isolate what gives the fruit flavor. In 2015 it released a sweet, disease-resistant strawberry called Florida Sensation. CHOCOLATE Two groups of scientists, one from Mars Inc. and the other backed by Hershey, determined the DNA sequence of the cacao tree in 2010. The discovery could allow them to isolate what makes chocolate taste so good. BROCCOLI The Eastern Broccoli Project at Cornell University is attempting to create new hybrid broccoli varieties that can retain flavor and thrive in the hot and humid conditions that characterize summers on the East Coast.…

The world today is overwhelmed with problems. Policymakers seem to be confused and at a loss. But no problem is more urgent than the militarization of politics and the new arms race. Stopping and reversing this ruinous race must be our top priority. The current situation is too dangerous. More troops, tanks and armored personnel carriers are being brought to Europe. NATO and Russian forces and weapons that used to be deployed at a distance are now placed closer to each other, as if to shoot point-blank. While state budgets are struggling to fund people's essential social needs, military spending is growing. Money is easily found for sophisticated weapons whose destructive power is comparable to that of weapons of mass destruction, for submarines whose single salvo is capable of devastating…

"I'm not an anarchist," Keanu Reeves says. "But as a kid, I always asked, 'How come?' So this is my childhood tradition. Stories about fighting against unreasonable authority and systems resonate with me." The actor has seen that dynamic play out again and again over the course of his long career. At 52, he says, "I'm old enough now to almost have a Reevesian canon." Soon that canon will include John Wick: Chapter 2, in theaters Feb. 10. The film is a sequel to 2014's unexpectedly great John Wick, a surreal, moody revenge thriller that grossed $86 million globally against a budget of about $20 million. In the first film, Wick, a onetime assassin grieving the death of his wife, comes out of retirement to track down the punk who…

Viet Thanh Nguyen had a pretty spectacular 2016: his debut novel, The Sympathizer, about a Vietnamese double agent who goes to California after the Vietnam War, won the Pulitzer Prize after selling only 22,000 copies in hardcover. Thanks to that and other plaudits, the book has now sold almost 400,000 copies. Nguyen hasn't wasted time putting out a follow-up, though it was a long time in the making--20 years, in fact. Nguyen started writing The Refugees, a short-story collection, in 1997 and didn't finish it until 2014. Again, he focuses on Vietnamese immigrants who go to the States after the fall of Saigon. Ghosts and grocery-store owners, professors and prodigal daughters populate the pages. Some of the stories seem to resonate with his own childhood as a refugee of the…

'A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge.' Neil Gorsuch, 10th Circuit Court of Appeals judge, explaining his legal philosophy after President Donald Trump nominated him to the U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 31 508 Number of sleds it took to set a new world record for the longest such chain, as organized by the Bramberg tourist office in Austria 'I feel like somebody has killed me.' Mohamed Muezeb, 47-year-old Yemeni green-card holder and 27-year U.S. resident, after President Trump's Executive Order--which temporarily barred refugees and citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the U.S.--prevented his wife and two kids from boarding a flight to New York City from Qatar 'Thirty-six million hearts are breaking with yours.' Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada,…

SEPTEMBER 2008 TransCanada applies to extend its existing Keystone pipeline, beginning a long permit process at the state and federal levels. The new section would be dubbed Keystone XL. APRIL 2010 BP's Deepwater Horizon oil-drilling unit explodes, spilling more than 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico and bringing attention to the risks of oil projects. NOVEMBER 2011 President Obama postpones a decision on Keystone XL until after the 2012 election in the face of stiff opposition from environmental activists and landowners. JUNE 2013 Obama says that to receive his approval, the new pipeline could not contribute significant levels of new carbon pollution. Activists would later remind Obama of this statement. DECEMBER 2014 Energy Transfer Partners applies to the federal government, with little fanfare, to build…

PANDEMIC RESPONSE In the next global pandemic--which experts agree is a question of when, not if--the directors of the CDC and NIH will be responsible for leading a coordinated response that relies on cutting-edge research, public-health policy and cooperative international relations. Public-health experts have questioned how Trump would respond to pandemics, citing his past comments questioning the advice of CDC and government scientists. VACCINE PROGRAMS An advisory body at the CDC--appointed by the Health and Human Services chief--issues immunization recommendations for the entire country using the best available science. Some experts worry that those guidelines could change under Trump, who has linked vaccines to autism and met with antivaccine advocates, including Robert Kennedy Jr. and Andrew Wakefield, before taking office. CARBON EMISSIONS The controversial Clean Power Plan, which regulates carbon…

Passions were high, and the president of the United States was eager to act. In 1798, John Adams, amid talk of war with France, signed the Alien and Sedition Acts to, in his view, protect the national interest against internal dissent and outside agitation. Passed by a Federalist-controlled Congress, the laws, among other things, increased the number of years applicants for citizenship had to wait and authorized the President to deport any foreigner he deemed dangerous to the country. "The Alien bill proposed in the Senate is a monster that must forever disgrace its parents," James Madison wrote to Thomas Jefferson that same year. Madison was right: in the long run, Adams' historical legacy has been tarnished by this decidedly unrepublican grab for power. And in the short term, the…

As protesters converged on the nation's airports in late January, a very different sort of resistance was shaping up at a manicured golf resort in Palm Springs, Calif. The billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, perhaps the most influential free-market activist in the nation, stood before 550 like-minded donors to declare his intention to fight key policies of President Donald Trump. "We cannot be partisan," he said as his guests sipped wine and the sun set over the mountains. "We can't say, 'O.K., this is our party, right or wrong.'" The wealthy conservative's call to action may soon prove more disruptive to Trump's ambitions than any of the liberal protests filling the streets. That's because the Koch network has for years been among the biggest and most successful spenders in Republican politics.…

Claude McKay (1889--1948) has long been considered one of the great authors of the Harlem Renaissance. He wrote novels such as Home to Harlem (1928) and Banana Bottom (1933) as well as poetry, memoirs and a major cultural biography, Harlem: Negro Metropolis. Scholars and admirers now have a new piece of the oeuvre to admire: 69 years after his death, Penguin Classics is publishing a McKay manuscript, Amiable With Big Teeth, found by a student in the Columbia University archives in 2009, making it just one in a recent slew of works by dead authors seeing the light of day for the first time. Late last year, a posthumous collection of short stories by the filmmaker Kathleen Collins came out after sitting in a steamer trunk for decades; an unfinished…
