Any ordinary pop star can play a stadium. In August, Adele had a

grounds on stilts. There was a Bavarian beer garden, a Ferris wheel

Adele’s 73,000-capacity, custom-built temporary venue, which

Trump Flirts With the Ultimate Tax Cut: No Income Taxes at All
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=83586&nl=daily]
Replacing income taxes with tariffs would reverse the progressivity of
the tax system in the United States. In general, income taxes are
progressive, meaning that Americans with more income pay a higher tax
rate. Tariffs, which impose a tax on products imported into the United
States, are regressive. They raise the prices on imported items like
clothing and groceries, placing a larger burden on lower-income
Americans who spend a bigger percentage of their income on those
goods.

How to read Americas early-voting numbers - The Economist

FOR THE first time since August, Donald Trump has overtaken Kamala
Harris in The Economists statistical model of Americas presidential
election. Our latest forecast gives Mr Trump a 53% chance of returning
to the White House, up seven percentage points in the past week (see
chart). Although the race remains more or less a coin toss, it is now
weighted slightly in Mr Trumps direction. The shift in our model
reflects a steady narrowing of Ms Harriss lead in national polls
during the past month. State-specific polls published in the past week
confirm that Mr Trumps position has strengthened slightly in the
plausibly decisive states.

Mati Diop and the Cinema of Impossible Returns - The New Yorker

The Muse du Quai Branly is a long ark of a building perched over a
garden, whose foliage screens the museum from its busy namesake
thoroughfare on the banks of the Seine. Literally overshadowed by the
Eiffel Tower, it houses more than three hundred thousand pieces of art
from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, most of them legacies of
Frances colonial empire. Its opening, in 2006, was billed as an
enlightened departure from the practice of exhibiting non-European
works as anthropological specimens; the buildings architect, Jean
Nouvel, described it as a place of spiritual regeneration, where the
Western curatorial apparatus would vanish before the sacred objects so
we may enter into communion with them. But the vibes within are less
enchanting than uncanny. The cavernous main gallery is a maze of
shadows and imitation mud walls, where masks look out from between
oversized photographs of tropical vegetation. Ill never be familiar

Any ordinary pop star can play a stadium. In August, Adele had a
stadium built just for her. At “Adele World," her
800,000-square-foot theme park in Munich, performers roamed the
grounds on stilts. There was a Bavarian beer garden, a Ferris wheel
and, of course, a music venue—a pop-up stadium that featured a
45,000-square-foot LED wall. It’s hard to wow anyone these days, but
Adele’s 73,000-capacity, custom-built temporary venue, which
reportedly cost $100 million, stunned the music business. After just
10 shows, watched by over 730,000 fans, it was packed up and stuffed
in a warehouse.

Trump Flirts With the Ultimate Tax Cut: No Income Taxes at All
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=83586&nl=daily]
Replacing income taxes with tariffs would reverse the progressivity of
the tax system in the United States. In general, income taxes are
progressive, meaning that Americans with more income pay a higher tax
rate. Tariffs, which impose a tax on products imported into the United
States, are regressive. They raise the prices on imported items like
clothing and groceries, placing a larger burden on lower-income
Americans who spend a bigger percentage of their income on those
goods.

How to read Americas early-voting numbers - The Economist
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=83586&nl=daily]
FOR THE first time since August, Donald Trump has overtaken Kamala
Harris in The Economists statistical model of Americas presidential
election. Our latest forecast gives Mr Trump a 53% chance of returning
to the White House, up seven percentage points in the past week (see
chart). Although the race remains more or less a coin toss, it is now
weighted slightly in Mr Trumps direction. The shift in our model
reflects a steady narrowing of Ms Harriss lead in national polls
during the past month. State-specific polls published in the past week
confirm that Mr Trumps position has strengthened slightly in the
plausibly decisive states.

Mati Diop and the Cinema of Impossible Returns - The New Yorker

The Muse du Quai Branly is a long ark of a building perched over a
garden, whose foliage screens the museum from its busy namesake
thoroughfare on the banks of the Seine. Literally overshadowed by the
Eiffel Tower, it houses more than three hundred thousand pieces of art
from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, most of them legacies of
Frances colonial empire. Its opening, in 2006, was billed as an
enlightened departure from the practice of exhibiting non-European
works as anthropological specimens; the buildings architect, Jean
Nouvel, described it as a place of spiritual regeneration, where the
Western curatorial apparatus would vanish before the sacred objects so
we may enter into communion with them. But the vibes within are less
enchanting than uncanny. The cavernous main gallery is a maze of
shadows and imitation mud walls, where masks look out from between
oversized photographs of tropical vegetation. Ill never be familiar
with this space, Mati Diop said when we visited last month. Its like
