The Brutal Reality of Panda Breeding 0 (0)

Panda breeding has been highlighted as one of the big success stories in conservation: U.S. and Chinese scientists working together to increase the number of pandas released into the wild. But a New York Times investigation found that they have succeeded only at making more pandas for zoos. Individual pandas have been hurt in the process, and at least one has been killed. Mara Hvistendahl, an investigative reporter for The New York Times focused on Asia, explains how records, photographs and videos — many of them from the Smithsonian Institution Archives — offer the most detailed, unvarnished history of the [See More…]

Vance Still Won’t Say if Trump Lost in 2020 0 (0)

JD Vance repeatedly refused to acknowledge Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election in an interview with The New York Times and went to even greater lengths to avoid doing so than he did during the vice-presidential debate earlier this month. In an hourlong interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a host of “The Interview,” a Times podcast published each Saturday, Vance said he “focused on the future” when asked about the previous election. It was the same phrase he used to evade the question during his debate with Tim Walz.

Abortion is emerging as a major issue in this election: inspiring more women to show up to the polls and vote for Kamala Harris, while at the same time driving a wedge between some conservative women and Donald Trump. That dynamic is especially visible in Arizona, where abortion bans are being challenged on the ballot in November, and where nearly a third of all Republicans say they’ll support a constitutional amendment establishing abortion as a fundamental right. Alexandra Eaton and Stephanie Figgins traveled to the suburbs of Phoenix to speak to some of the Republican women who are splitting from [See More…]

Secret Tapes Reveal Nixon’s Views on Marijuana 0 (0)

Two years after launching the war on drugs, President Richard Nixon made a startling admission during a meeting in the Oval Office. He said that marijuana was “not particularly dangerous.” The remarks, captured by the former president’s secret recording system, bolster the notion that the criminalization of marijuana was driven by politics. Ernesto Londoño, a New York Times reporter who covers drug use and counternarcotics policy, explains.
