When Lewis Lapham died last year, it appeared that his magazine might go with him. Lapham’s Quarterly, a beloved journal of history and reportage he started, had stopped putting out issues. The fate of the publication was uncertain without Mr. Lapham, a nattily dressed former editor at Harper’s who seemed to personify a bygone era […]
Disney knew that remaking “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” as a live-action musical would be treacherous. But the studio was feeling cocky. It was 2019, and Disney was minting money at the box office by “reimagining” animated classics like “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Jungle Book” as movies with real actors. The […]
Robert E. Denham, a mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer who was known for parachuting into imperiled companies and splintered board rooms and steering the organizations out of trouble, died on Saturday at his home in Pasadena, Calif.

As containment efforts falter, the measles outbreak in West Texas is likely to persist for a year, perhaps even setting back the country’s hard-fought victory over the virus, according to Texas health officials. As of Friday, the outbreak had sickened more than 300 people in Texas since January; 40 have been hospitalized. One child has […]
Is it too early to start making assumptions about how the MLS regular season will pan out? It’s a fair question to ask. With four matchdays in the books and only 360-plus minutes of play per team, 2025 yields a small sample size and plenty of time left in a campaign that extends all the […]
The French government’s claim that a scientist was denied entry into the United States because of an opinion he expressed about the Trump administration is “blatantly false,” a U.S. official has said. Even as the authorities in France continued to call the case a concerning violation of academic freedom, the U.S. official, Tricia McLaughlin, who […]
Airlines, airports and air traffic controllers prepare for chaos. But that doesn’t make responding to it any less complicated.
