On the first Tuesday of Wimbledon, with hot evening sunshine lighting
up the deuce court, Jack Draper, the fourth seed in the gentlemen's
singles, was playing disconcertingly well. He was on serve in his
opening match and, as he said later, I was getting my tennis together
a little bit. Draper, who is twenty-three, was the No. 1-ranked
British player in this year's competition, which is not an
uncomplicated place to be. Britain is a nation that ignores
professional tennis for fifty weeks of the year and then focusses,
raptly, on the beauty and skill on display at the All England Lawn
Tennis and Croquet Club, as if the event were an extremely successful
garden party to which not everyone has been invited. The great British
public, in floral dresses and questionable hats, will peer through the
hedge if necessary. And this year it was Draper they wanted to see.

South Sudan has accepted eight third-country deportees from the U.S.

Donald Trump on a similar deal. Nigeria meanwhile says it's rejecting
pressure to do the same. These initiatives in Africa mark an expansion
in U.S. efforts to deport people to countries other than their own. It
has sent hundreds of Venezuelans and others to Costa Rica, El Salvador
and Panama but has yet to announce any major deals in Africa, Asia or
Europe. While proponents see such programs as a way of deterring what
they describe as unmanageable levels of migration, human rights
advocates have raised concerns over sending migrants to countries

Since Edward Burtynsky's birth in Ontario, Canada, in 1955, the
Earth's population has roughly tripled, and its economy has grown
tenfold. This great acceleration, to use the title of the (exquisitely
curated and hung) retrospective newly installed at the International
Center of Photography, on the Lower East Side, is the most anomalous
stretch in human history, and during the past four decades Burtynsky
has been almost certainly its greatest visual chroniclera poet of
scale, making use of ever-better lenses and innovations such as drones
to gain an ever more encompassing perspective. Perhaps the only
photographer to have backed up farther from this subject was Bill
Anders, the Apollo 8 astronaut who gave us Earthrise, in 1968. But
that image was taken from too far away to even hint at the stress that
the Earth was undergoing as the human footprint expanded. Burtynsky
had the perfect depth of field for the task, and his images have
become steadily more complicated over time.

LOOK at the news or social media these days, and you might see a
pattern. Stories are about groups in conflict, competing for limited
resources, with the gains for some framed as losses for others. If
China benefits from trade with America, America must lose. If foreign
students enroll at American universities, that must mean fewer spots
for Americans. If immigrants find work, they must be taking jobs from
citizens. If a diversity initiative helps women or a racial minority,
someone else must be left out. More and more, debates are shaped by a
mindset that sees the world as a fixed piewhere one persons or one
groups gain is anothers loss. That mindset is known as zero-sum
thinking. And it is crucial to understanding the politics and
economics of America today.
