The boy named Travis is asleep on the couch. Bodies occupy almost every available space in the cramped apartment. The bathroom is way down the hall. The sound and sights of Chicago’s roiling South Side, circa the late 1950s, can be heard and felt outside. Even as you walk into the Court Theatre, you know that the director Gabrielle Randle-Bent and her designer, Andrew Boyce, understand “A Raisin in the Sun,” the greatest play ever written by a Chicagoan about the city of her youth. This cannot be taken for granted. Many productions, including the most recent Broadway revival, have…

Fishing industry regulators have decided to scrap stricter new lobster fishing standards off New England in the wake of months of protest from lobster fishermen that the rules were unnecessary and would bankrupt harvesters. The regulators were planning to institute new rules this summer that increased the minimum legal harvest size for lobsters in some of the most important fishing grounds in the world. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Council, which manages the fishery, said the changes were important to preserve the future of a lobster population that has shown recent signs of decline. Many commercial fishermen adamantly opposed the…

The Saudis are furious. The Danes are scrambling. Colombia has backed down. Mexico and Canada stand in a purgatory between tariff wars with the US and … not. China has retaliated, launching a trade war between the economic superpowers. The Brits, long proud of their “special relationship” with the United States, are leaning into their tradition of quiet diplomacy. It’s as if President Donald Trump has flung a bag of marbles across the global stage, under the feet of foreign leaders who have often stepped together through eight decades of postwar global order. Everyone, it seems, is responding to Trump…
