1962  “Equally at home on Broadway, on television, or conducting the Philharmonic, Bernstein’s extraordinary talents have attracted millions of admirers,” said Newsweek. Leonard Bernstein conducted the first televised concert at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts to mark the official opening of the new venue. Over a long career, he won two Tonys, 16 Grammys and seven Emmys, and the Kennedy Center Honors. This year, his music will find new audiences through a film adaptation of his most famous musical, West Side Story, currently scheduled for release in December. 1977 Newsweek predicted that the “politically explosive” Bakke case “may have more impact on equality...than any judgment since Brown began dismantling school segregation in 1954.” The case ultimately upheld affirmative action as a tool for diversity—which was again upheld…

IN AN ELECTION SEASON IN WHICH THE progressive ideas of the Squad, Bernie Sanders and other like-minded Democrats are being hotly debated by both conservatives and liberals, Florida Democrat Donna Shalala is determined to carve out space just left of the center lane. The oldest woman ever elected as a freshman to the House of Representatives, Shalala, 79, is a self-described “pragmatic progressive,” who likes to tout her ability to get along with all factions of her own party as well as her work with colleagues across the political aisle. Her opponent, Republican Maria Elvira Salazar, is having none of it. In a series of tweets earlier this year, the popular Cuban American broadcast journalist accused Shalala of not pushing back enough against her “bro” Bernie and “sisters” AOC and…

AMERICA’S MOST WIDELY-KNOWN expert on the coronavirus pandemic is no stranger to disease crises and the political turmoil that surrounds them. Fauci’s been head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, through AIDS and Ebola. Now he is contending with a president who is flirting with the idea of rushing the release of a COVID-19 vaccine before the election on November 3. In a Newsweek interview, Fauci was characteristically frank. A presidential edict to force the approval of a COVID-19 vaccine before election day on November 3 “will be blown out of the water publicly by the people who understand what it takes to declare a vaccine safe and effective,” he says. “It would be a public embarrassment.” Here are excerpts: Q. Will political pressure to…

“There was something happening that we both were trying to deny, and it was creating this kind of tug of war, this friction.” A LOT OF THE WAR AND TREATY’S music is about trying to turn suffering into hope. In 2019, for instance, the Nashville-based duo of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount-Trotter were among the marchers with late Congressman John Lewis over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. The event was to commemorate the 54th anniversary of the day Lewis and other peaceful civil rights protestors were beaten savagely on the bridge by police. The couple were asked for an impromptu song. They froze for a moment, stuck for something that would fit the occasion. A fellow musician suggested the gospel standard “This Little Light of Mine.” “We…

IN A YEAR WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY FACET OF LIFE IS GOING THROUGH a massive shift, musician and actor Janelle Monáe is front and center as a voice for that change, especially in her new film Antebellum, available on-demand on major cable and digital platforms September 18. “I want this to be a real look at the burden that Black women carry every single day to deconstruct systemic racism and to deconstruct white supremacy.” Monáe plays Veronica Henley, a successful writer trapped in a terrifying reality mirroring America’s original sin: slavery. “One of the things that this film says is that the past is not even the past.” While Monáe is best known as a Grammy-nominated music star, she hit the ground running with her first two films: Hidden…
