Today is Yom Kippur, which, for many observing the holiday, means a day of fasting. I’ve fasted on and off over the years, so I know just how incredibly satisfying the traditional break-fast of bagels and lox tastes after all those quiet, contemplative, hungry hours, when the shofar blows and the sun finally sets. When…
During fashion week, we will be spotlighting the details we saw on the runways that surprised or delighted us. Bring on the sculptural shoes, giant inflatable models and antique fork jewelry. PARIS — It was a monster, enormous and ominous. It was a flower, striking and alluring. It was both, and that was the point.…
In this nine-episode limited series, which streams on Peacock, Lacy plays Robert Berchtold, an Idaho husband and father who in the mid-1970s twice abducted Jan Broberg, the eldest daughter of a family that he had known for years. (This case was previously explored in the Netflix documentary “Abducted in Plain Sight.”) As the show tells…
My wife of 38 years died of ovarian cancer four years ago. We worked in different worlds: She was an anthropologist who traveled widely, and I was a physician in private practice. We had a loving marriage with the normal ups and downs. After we retired, we grew closer. Then came her cancer. We knew…

The French Interior Ministry told me that fines must be issued within a year of the infraction, so you’re almost off the hook. If they were mailed by Sept. 15 and eventually find their way to you, though, you’ll have to decide whether to pay or contest them. I should note that a lot of…
Is this why some mobile passport lines disappeared? Sort of. The mobile passport program is here to stay, though lines are getting added to some airports and removed from others, said Matt Cornelius, the executive vice president of Airports Council International-North America, a trade association representing around 300 airports in the United States and Canada.…
In the absence of pig’s tail, you could use whatever pork you’ve got on hand. Or you can swap out that protein entirely for beef. Once, in a bind and miles away from the nearest Caribbean grocer, I cooked the dish with the Chinese sausage in the back of a boyfriend’s fridge and genuinely couldn’t…
The chef and restaurateur JJ Johnson has a saying: “Rice is culture.” I have a saying, too: “Money over everything, rice under everything else.” To me, loving rice is a lifestyle. Rice was omnipresent in my childhood, and I’m perpetually craving it in my adulthood. I’ve come to love and appreciate so many expressions of…
