| Work Nathan MacKinnon’s work ethic has propelled him to record heights, and the legendary comparisons are just beginning  “No question,” Bednar said when asked if MacKinnon can reach Sakic’s status someday. “Both elite — different players, different eras. You’ve got to respect what Joe did as a player. I mean, it’s hard to even put it into words. And then if you look at what Nate’s doing, and if he just continues to do it, there’s no question he’s going to be seen as one of those guys, if he’s not already.” |

A bond of that size would have strings attached: Mr. Trump would need to pledge more than $550 million in collateral to the company, including as much cash as possible. |
| Work Chuck Scarborough’s 50 Years of Delivering News to New York  Through blizzards and blackouts and parades and protests, he became a constant, at once commanding and reassuring. There were changing backdrops at Channel 4, including one he called “the starship set,” and there were rotating casts around him, but he survived it all. “In TV, people come and people go quickly,” Sue Simmons, his co-anchor from 1980 to 2012, said last week when I asked her about him. “It’s quite an accomplishment for him to last this long, and well deserved.” |

| Work Sam Bankman-Fried to be sentenced for multibillion-dollar fraud this week  The former mogul himself took the stand near the end of his trial in a last-ditch gamble to persuade the jury. He defended his role in the collapse of FTX by saying he had been overwhelmed by overnight success and blamed the company’s failure on Ellison.

| Work Opinion | The Health Moonshot Biden Can Campaign On  First, we would have to break our addiction to clinical care designed to react to new ailments, and spend more on preventing health issues in the first place. The United States spends lavishly on clinical care, doling out $4.5 trillion — more than 17 percent of our gross domestic product — in 2022 alone. Prevention accounts for less than 3 percent of our overall health spending. That ratio buys us some of the poorest health outcomes and shortest life expectancies in the developed world. |
