On the first day of shooting “Home Improvement” in April 1991, Pamela Anderson emerged from her dressing room on the Walt Disney Studios lot and found series star Tim Allen loitering in the hallway in a bathrobe. This seemed normal to the 23-year-old budding actress, but it wasn’t. “He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath,” Anderson writes in her soon-to-be-released memoir, “Love, Pamela.” “He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even.” “I laughed uncomfortably,” she writes.

A prominent Indian human rights activist who spearheaded a campaign to hold officials responsible for deadly 2002 riots in the western state of Gujarat has been arrested and faces charges of fabricating evidence against the prime minister, Narendra Modi. The activist, Teesta Setalvad, was detained by an antiterrorism squad on Saturday in Mumbai and taken north to the neighboring state of Gujarat to face charges relating to a case brought against Mr. Modi when he was the state’s top official. While he was never found responsible, for years Indians have asked whether Mr. Modi could have curtailed or stopped the sectarian riots, in which more than 1,000 people were killed. Ms. Setalvad was detained after India’s top court Friday dismissed a petition that challenged Mr. Modi’s exoneration in the strife. Just before she was arrested, India’s home minister, Amit Shah, accused Ms. Setalvad of feeding fraudulent information to the police about the riots to tarnish Mr. Modi’s image. Mr. … [Read more...] about Prominent Activist in India Arrested Over Crusade Against Modi in Deadly Riots

Before anyone outside her hometown knew her name, Disha Ravi spent four years raising awareness among young people in Bangalore about the effects of climate change. Now the 21-year-old activist is jailed in New Delhi. The allegation: She distributed a “tool kit” in the form of a Google Doc containing talking points and contact information for influential groups to drum up support for farmers who have been protesting against the Indian government for months. The document — which the police say she shared with Greta Thunberg, the 18-year-old Swedish climate activist — resembles the kind that grass-roots organizations around the world have used for years to campaign for their causes. But Ms. Ravi, the police contend, was using it to “spread disaffection against the Indian State.” The arrest, the latest in a series of broader crackdown on activists, has triggered anger and disbelief among opposition politicians, student groups and lawyers, who say the government is using its … [Read more...] about Climate Activist Jailed in India as Government Clamps Down on Dissent

Kemp was a world-beater in 2022. Photo: Dustin Chambers/Bloomberg via Getty Images There are two competing feelings you get from listening to Republican insiders talk about their presidential options for 2024. On the one hand, a lot of them really want Donald Trump to go away. They think he’s a loser who is divisive, dangerously erratic, and wildly narcissistic, and that they don’t need him in order to run a nasty backlash campaign based on culture-war grievances and economic dissatisfaction. They’ve learned what they can from the 45th president and are ready for him to turn the MAGA mantle over to someone younger and less repellent to voters outside the party base. But at the same time, these would-be post-Trump Republicans remain terrified of him . That’s made evident by the reluctance of potential 2024 GOP rivals to actually run against Trump. Like a wounded animal or a dictator late in a losing war, he’s more dangerous now than ever. And so they keep looking for a … [Read more...] about Brian Kemp for President Makes a Lot of Sense

There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved the whole street with gold, and would even then have had enough for a small alley.

His son inherited his wealth, … [Read more...] about Nashville Public Library: The Flying Trunk

George Plimpton, the New York aristocrat and literary journalist whose exploits in editing and writing seesawed between belles lettres and the witty accounts he wrote of his various madcap attempts to slip into other people's high-profile careers, died yesterday at his home in Manhattan. He was 76. The cause of death was not immediately known, but Mr. Plimpton's agent, Timothy Seldes, said it was most likely a heart attack. Mr. Plimpton, a lanky, urbane man possessed of boundless energy and perpetual bonhomie, became, in 1953, the first and only editor of The Paris Review. A ubiquitous presence at book parties and other gala social events, he was tireless in his commitment to the serious, contemporary fiction the magazine publishes. Easily identifiable in later years by his thatch of silver hair and always by his cheery, lockjaw delivery, Mr. Plimpton was a familiar figure ranging above other guests at the restaurants, saloons and weekend destinations where blue-blood New York … [Read more...] about George Plimpton, Urbane and Witty Writer, Dies at 76
