1962 Newsweek wrote that federal marshals arrived at the University of Mississippi to maintain order as the school integrated in “an almost unbelievable turnback of history;” U.S. troops had occupied the same town in 1862. Just hours after James Meredith, the school’s first Black student, arrived on campus, “students fired the opening barrage of the battle of Ole Miss—spit first, then lighted cigarettes, then pebbles, then rocks.” This year, federal troops have also been deployed to quell racial unrest, though the troops have been sent to protect federal buildings from demonstrators for equality, not the reverse. 1977 “Women are the subject of a batch of new movies,” said Newsweek, highlighting a supposed “new deal for women in films, in which they’ll no longer be satellites to men but suns and…

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE RIDES DISCONTENT with Donald Trump to lead in national polls, drawing support from two-thirds of Latino voters. That’s the story of Hillary Clinton, who looked set to win four years ago—until she didn’t. To the mounting terror of Democrats, it’s also the situation Joe Biden finds himself in as polls tighten in the sprint to November 3. The Biden campaign—looking to upend the electoral map by winning states like Arizona, Georgia or Texas—publicly waved away concern about the state of the Latino vote for months. But on September 13th, senior advisor Symone Sanders acknowledged the campaign “has work to do” with the community. That work accelerated at the end of August and into September, with efforts that are now partially fueled by its $365 million August fundraising…

LIKE VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF OUR LIVES— work, school, shopping, leisure, you name it—the pandemic is changing the way Americans bank. And those changes, in turn, are creating a new set of challenges and opportunities when it comes to picking the bank that best suits our needs. For one thing, we have a newfound need and affection for savings accounts, evidenced by a more-than-doubling of the personal savings rate over the past several months, as the idea of building a solid emergency fund morphed from being an aspiration to an economic imperative. “The savings growth has been record-breaking,” says Ken Tumin, founder of the bank comparison site DepositAccounts.com . But it’s tougher than ever to find a suitable account to house those savings—one that doesn’t actually cost you money…

Best Online Savings Account The pandemic has sparked a big jump in the personal savings rate and online savings accounts—which offer higher-than-average interest rates, accessibility and safety—are a good choice for emergency funds. To identify a winner, Newsweek prioritized a combination of consistently high rates, low fees and an outstanding digital customer experience. VARO BANK Varo Savings Account Recent interest rate: 2.8% up to $10,000, then 0.81% Minimum to open account: $0 Best Savings Account for Kids Young customers shouldn’t be penalized for having only modest sums to deposit. They’re kids, after all. For this category, only special accounts for those under 18 were considered; priority factors included a low minimum to open the account, no or low fees and a decent interest rate to keep young savers motivated. CAPITAL…

CENTENNIAL BANK Freedom Checking MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE: $5, WAIVED WITH E-STATEMENTS ATM FEES: REIMBURSEMENTS OFFERED Best High-Yield Checking Account When the category is all about high rates, a winner has to deliver a stellar payout; interest-rate factors made up two-thirds of the total score for these accounts and only those offering rates above 1 percent were considered. Fees for things like ATM use and overdrafts were also weighed. FIRST SECURITY BANK & TRUST Kasasa Cash Recent interest rate: 2.01% up to $50,000 Monthly service fees: $0 Best Online Checking Account A big advantage of many online checking accounts: no monthly maintenance fees or charges for using out-of-network ATMs. That was a minimum requirement for our winner, along with a well-regarded mobile app and a high interest rate—but you will have…

With the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we have lost one of our nation’s greatest legal minds. While she obviously was much beloved on the political left, we should not forget key aspects of her legacy that also resonated powerfully on the other side of the aisle, including her commitment to meritocracy, family, incremental change and the rule of law. I speak from personal experience, as a conservative who served as her law clerk during the October 1994 term—and stayed in close touch with her ever since. RBG’s friendship with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in 2016, was perplexing to some commentators but made perfect sense to both justices. In part, their friendship sprang from the admiration each felt for the other’s considerable talents, as well as from…
