At Japanese museums, art and nature merge - WSJ
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=71393&nl=daily]
Odawara, Japan: You walk along a level daylight-filled corridor, some
300 feet long, one side lined with glass, the other with volcanic
stones pockmarked by fossilized insects. Nearing the end, as trees and
plantings fall away, you reach a balcony overlooking the mists of
Sagami Bay. The passage has led from stone gardens toward water and
cloud, from solid ground to a perch cantilevered in space. And it is
aligned so that, at the dawn of the summer solstice, the sun shines
directly through the passage; you walk into light.

Vance Criticizes Ukraine's President a Day After His Meeting With
Trump
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=71393&nl=daily]
Mr. Vance has been a vocal opponent of American aid to Ukraine. Mr.
Zelensky called Mr. Vance “too radical,” in a recent interview in
The New Yorker for making remarks he saw as suggesting that Ukraine
give up territory in exchange for a peace deal with Russia. That
prompted Mr. Vance to hit back from the campaign trail in Michigan on
Wednesday, saying, “I don’t appreciate Zelensky coming to this
country and telling the American taxpayer what they ought to do.”

Why the World's Biggest Powers Can't Stop a Middle East War
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=71393&nl=daily]
For many years, the United States was the only country that could
bring constructive pressure to bear on both Israel and Arab states. It
engineered the 1978 Camp David Accords that brought peace between
Israel and Egypt, and the Israel-Jordan peace of 1994. Just over three
decades ago, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Yasir Arafat,
the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, shook hands on
the White House lawn in the name of peace, only for the fragile hope
of that embrace to erode steadily.

Why Stellantis, Owner of Chrysler, Jeep and Ram, Is Struggling

In 2021, PSA merged with Fiat Chrysler, and the combined company
adopted the name Stellantis. While the company is based in Amsterdam,
its U.S. operations accounted for more than half of Stellantis’s

Silicon Valley Renegades Pollute the Sky to Save the Planet

It’s a gutsy undertaking, yet it has at least a partial grounding in
science. For 50 years, climate scientists have suggested that
releasing aerosols into the stratosphere could act as a buffer and
reduce the heat from the sun. Volcanic eruptions have temporarily
cooled the planet this way in the past, but no one has attempted to
intentionally replicate the effect at scale.

Sean Combs's White Parties Were Edgy, A-List Affairs. Were They More?

Indeed, a recent lawsuit claims misdeeds occurred at those events,

series of White Parties in the mid-to-late 2000s, sued him, asserting
she was plied with drugs and ecstasy-laced liquor at the events, and
commanded to have sex with certain guests, making her into “a sexual
pawn.” Jonathan Davis, a lawyer for Mr. Combs, denied in July that
his client had ever “sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.”

going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things
just because we want to have a good time. Whenever you bring up a
different element into people’s environment, things that broaden
people’s horizons, people get intimidated.”

Some years are short and perfunctory; some swell with joy and hope,
