What Do Students at Elite Colleges Really Want?
Despite the popular image of this generation — that of Greta Thunberg and the Parkland activists — as one driven by idealism, GenZ students at these schools appear to be strikingly corporate-minded. Even when they arrive at college wanting something very different, an increasing number of students at elite universities seek the imprimatur of employment by a powerful firm and “making a bag” (slang for a sack of money) as quickly as possible.

'Silicon Valley Princess': Inside the Life of Nicole Shanahan, R.F.K. Jr.'s Running Mate
The incidents were part of a rarefied — and sometimes turbulent — life that Ms. Shanahan led in the nation’s tech capital before her turn to politics, according to interviews with more than 20 people who know her or were briefed on her actions, as well as property records, court documents, tax records, emails and other messages reviewed by The Times. Many of the details of her life, including those of her divorce settlement, have not been reported.

Businesses in D.C. Blame the Government for the District's Empty Offices
But unlike the other two, Seattle and San Francisco, Washington is not a technology hub but a company town that relies on a single employer to a degree not seen elsewhere. The local economy is powered by about 160,000 federal workers in the district, who are only now slowly returning to their workplaces from their suburban home offices. Last fall, an annual survey of 625,568 federal workers found that more than two-thirds were still working remotely some of the time.

Iran's Use of Proxy Warfare Likely to Persist, Experts Say
“From the very early messages that the Iranian regime sent after the president’s helicopter disappeared, it was clear that they wanted to project an image of stability around succession, and the activities of the groups will be part of that,” said Trita Parsi, the executive director of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

Cruising San Francisco, With No One Behind the Wheel
Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous vehicles or, colloquially, robotaxis, have been driving the streets of San Francisco in some form since 2009 and have been operating commercially since last August. The cars are also shaping up as the city’s latest tourist attraction.

Unheard Louis Armstrong recordings to be released
He said there has been an increased understanding of Armstrong – especially compared with the decade after Armstrong’s death when many were critical of the musician and his perceived indifference to racial and civil rights issues. “In the last five to 10 years if you mention some old accusations about Armstrong, you realise no one feels that way any more. Everybody understands what he had to endure.”

Under Relentless Russian Assault, Ukraine Adopts a Defensive Crouch
Militarily, the incursion seems intended to stretch Ukraine’s already thin and underequipped forces by diverting troops from the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, still seen as the likely target of a Russian offensive this summer. It has also had the destabilizing effect of sending thousands of dismayed, disheartened people from the border region deeper into Ukraine.

Opinion | The Victims of U.S. Nuclear Testing Deserve More Than This
The federal government is responsible for protecting its citizens. Washington betrayed that obligation when it exposed people to dangerous radiation for decades during the Cold War, and then downplayed, denied and ignored the health risks, according to declassified documentation.
