Profiles: The Chaos Agent
Representative Matt Gaetz arrived at the White House in the last days of 2020, amid a gathering national crisis. President Donald Trump had lost his bid for reëlection the previous month, and his allies were exploring strategies to keep him in office. Though only thirty-eight years old, Gaetz, the scion of a political family in Florida’s Panhandle, had become one of the Republican Party’s most prominent and divisive figures.
The Political Scene: Border Troubles
In early December, 2020, Alejandro Mayorkas was called to Wilmington, Delaware, for a meeting with Joe Biden. The President-elect was choosing his Cabinet, and Mayorkas, whom Biden knew personally, had the sort of résumé that made him an obvious contender for a top role in the new Administration. Then a partner at WilmerHale, an élite white-shoe law firm in Washington, D.C., he had been a U.S. Attorney under Bill Clinton and Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security under Barack Obama.

Profiles: You Tell Me
In a cramped, windowless room at the University of Southern California, a group of graduate students are working on a short story. As they talk, their professor, the novelist Percival Everett, sits quietly at the head of a too-large table, one palm propped on it, his body turning almost imperceptibly from side to side. His head, adorned with tangled strands of dark gray hair, is framed by a huge television hanging behind him, its screen a black surface....
A Critic at Large: Gone with the Wind
In December 1863, Abraham Lincoln had sat in the presidential box on two consecutive evenings and watched "Henry IV" - "Pause till these rebels, now on their feet, come under the yoke of government" - and in November, ten days before delivering the Gettysburg Address, he had seen John Wilkes Booth....

Books: The Accidental Satirist
The problem arises immediately when it comes to "Chevengur", Andrei Platonov's strange tale of a communist peasant utopia - written in 1927 and 1928, when Platonov was in his late twenties, it represents both his exuberant debut as a socialist novelist and a dissident's political suicide note. And in the split perspective offered by the book's contradictory point of view,...
Musical Events: Tone Poet
Of the thousands of German-speaking Jews who fled Nazi-occupied Europe for the comparative paradise of Los Angeles, it seemed particularly unlikely that Arnold Schoenberg would make his home here. After all, he was the most implacable modernist composer of his time - the progenitor of atonality, the codifier of twelve-tone music, a Viennese hothead who enjoyed polemics as a sport.
The Current Cinema: Bodies of Evidence
Some filmmakers use the conventions of the genre as signposts to lead viewers into unfamiliar territory, as Jordan Peele does with horror in "Get Out". Others use the same markers to keep viewers on the beaten track. British filmmaker Rose Glass' 2019 feature film debut "Saint Maud", in which a young nurse pursues religious beliefs to the point of madness, promised in its early scenes to be a modern classic of fanaticism along the lines of Paul Schrader's "First Reformed". But Glass squeezed the plot into the lurid tropes of horror and left the characters and theme undeveloped. In her second feature film, "Love Lies Bleeding", she does something similar - but with a different effect.
