Also, love the comments section and the debate about air-conditioning that morphed into a bigger argument about socio-economic differences between the US and the UK, with Australians and South Africans chiming in.

British Summers Are Getting Hotter. So Are Houses. Had lots of fun reporting this story. In my first UK summer, I was struck by why the buildings seemed hotter than it was outside. Turns out there's a reason for that, and it won't be solved by air-conditioning. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/w...

Paul Simon, trying to resurrect his solo career, defied a cultural boycott on apartheid South Africa in search of new music. He recorded a classic album and created a political minefield. The artists I spoke to saw it as their big break, but what did it help the struggle as a whole? Listen & LMK:
