Call it the Brooklyn breaking point, when the cool factor of Kings County is not enough to compensate for a less-than-ideal living situation. For Joseph I. Dube and his wife, Frances Cabrera, it came last year. After realizing they could not afford to buy a place in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, where they had been renting, the couple began looking in Sunset Park. But though that neighborhood was more affordable, it required a longer trip by subway to Midtown Manhattan, where Mr. Dube and Ms. Cabrera both work. And they were discouraged when the offers they made on apartments there were unsuccessful. They had better luck in Jackson Heights, in north-central Queens, a historic and heterogeneous area less than a half-hour from Midtown — and, pricewise, a world away from trendier enclaves. “The co-op buildings here, they have a certain look and feel, like the buildings we loved by Prospect Park,” Mr. Dube said. Last fall the couple paid $399,000 for a two-bedroom with prewar … [Read more...] about Jackson Heights, Queens: Diverse and Evolving

THE ENGLISH department at Yale used to resemble a sort of English country estate. It included a great house of many wings and rooms (the Elizabethan Pavilion, the Metaphysical Poets Billiard Parlor, the T. S. Eliot Chapel and so forth) and, normally, one entered this house via certain well-marked paths and avenues that ran through a spacious park. The park looked as though Nature had … [Read more...] about THE TYRANNY OF THE YALE CRITICS

BEIJING — President Xi Jinping of China received a potent boost to his status on Thursday, when a Communist Party meeting elevated him to “core” leader, putting him in the same revered ranks as Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. Mr. Xi’s newest title, carrying echoes of those political strongmen, reinforces his power to shape the new leadership of the party. It is also a warning that officials should fall in line, though some privately fear he has amassed too much control and has eroded traditions of collective leadership, built up to prevent a return to the arbitrary abuses of Mao’s final decades. Since he became general secretary of the party in 2012, the leadership “with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core has acted on its words and led by example,” said a communiqué from the four-day assembly of the Central Committee. “For a country and for a party, a leading core is vitally important,” said the document , which was solemnly read on Chinese state television news. In China, … [Read more...] about China’s Communist Party Declares Xi Jinping ‘Core’ Leader

If Måneskin win the Grammy for Best New Artist this Sunday, they have no idea what they’ll do. They’ll probably act on instinct in the moment, they suppose—a strategy that has yet to fail them in more than seven years as a band. But if they lose? “If we lose, I don’t want to be like”—singer Damiano David screws up his faces and claps sarcastically like Nancy Pelosi at the 2019 State of the Union—“‘Oh, yeah, yeah, they deserved it.’” Victoria de Angelis cuts in, feeding off her bandmate’s energy. “If we lose,” she declares, “we jump on stage, push the person down, and—” The bassist grabs an imaginary mic and bends over it, screaming. Then she breaks character and leans back, unleashing a hoarse cackle. “I want [an] honest reaction,” David says. “Stop faking it, like, ‘OK, it doesn’t matter.’ Yeah, it fucking matters. Of course it matters.” With David and de Angelis speaking to The Daily Beast over Zoom while crammed together on a tiny couch alongside their … [Read more...] about Your Hate for Måneskin Is Their ‘Gasoline’

Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images The Federal Reserve has now raised its benchmark interest rate from near zero to above 4.5 percent in the space of a year. That represents the most rapid spree of monetary tightening in U.S. history. It is past time for the central bank to take a breather. In recent weeks, a growing array of evidence has indicated that inflation is firmly on a downward path. At this point, the imperative to avert an unnecessary recession must take precedence over minimizing inflationary risk. My argument for that assessment has two parts. The first is a matter of data, the second of values. The consumer price index (CPI) declined by 0.1 percent between November and December. On a year-over-year basis, inflation remained at the elevated perch of 6.5 percent. But as Paul Krugman argues , for discerning the future path of inflation, it may be better to look at the rate of price growth over a six-month period. That interval eliminates the “noise” (i.e., … [Read more...] about The Fed Can Stop Choking the Economy Now
