Putin’s Threats Highlight the Dangers of a New, Riskier Nuclear Era
WASHINGTON — The old nuclear order, rooted in the Cold War’s unthinkable outcomes, was fraying before Russia invaded Ukraine. Now, it is giving way to a looming era of disorder unlike any since the beginning of the atomic age. Russia’s regular reminders over the past three months of its nuclear might, even if largely bluster, were the latest evidence of how the potential threat has resurfaced in more overt and dangerous ways. They were enough to draw a pointed warning to Moscow on Tuesday from President Biden in what amounted to a tacit acknowledgment that the world had entered a period of heightened nuclear risks. “We currently see no indication that Russia has intent to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, though Russia’s occasional rhetoric to rattle the nuclear saber is itself dangerous and extremely irresponsible,” Mr. Biden wrote in a guest opinion essay in The New York Times . “Let me be clear: Any use of nuclear weapons in this conflict on any scale would be completely … [Read more...] about Putin’s Threats Highlight the Dangers of a New, Riskier Nuclear Era
New Ugliness in a Little Cabin of Horrors
Zack Carlson is a huge fan of the 1981 horror film “The Evil Dead.” That’s why he won’t be seeing the new “Evil Dead” when it opens on Friday. “I wouldn’t watch it at gunpoint,” said Mr. Carlson, a writer for the horror movie Web site Bleeding Skull. As “High Noon” is considered a fundamental western, “Evil Dead” is a seminal horror film, and for many fans, one not to be messed with. A story of possession set in a cabin in the woods, “The Evil Dead” was part of a wave of low-budget independent horror films in the late ’70s and early ’80s that used crude effects and guerrilla filmmaking techniques to tell a scary tale saturated in outrageous gore. It was directed by Sam Raimi, who went on to direct the Tobey Maguire “Spider-Man” films and “Oz the Great and Powerful.” The original has two follow-ups: “Evil Dead 2” (1987), a dark horror-comedy that’s effectively a remake of the original, and “Army of Darkness” (1992), a horror-adventure sequel to “Evil Dead 2.” “It was … [Read more...] about New Ugliness in a Little Cabin of Horrors
Three Debut Memoirists Chart Paths of Chaos and Survival
“For those who have had to shape-shift, code switch and camouflage just to survive, this one is for us.” So reads the dedication page in Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton’s debut memoir, BLACK CHAMELEON: Memory, Womanhood, and Myth (Holt, 308 pp., $27.99) . Growing up in late-20th-century America, Mouton navigates rites of passage as a Black female whose body and spirit bear the force of multigenerational trauma, racism and misogyny. But this is no typical reckoning, such as we’ve come to expect from contemporary coming-of-age memoirs. Employing “Black mythology,” Mouton aims to “fill in the gaps in literature that colonization has tried to steal,” reclaiming a cultural history and personal heritage. Not all of her stories are real, she writes on Page 1. “But that doesn’t mean they aren’t true.” When a menacing lech objectifies her 10-year-old body in a fast-food restaurant, Mouton — in a fantastical scene that satisfies even as it disorients — seamlessly morphs him into the … [Read more...] about Three Debut Memoirists Chart Paths of Chaos and Survival
Los Angeles Jazz With Kamasi Washington and Others
A few weeks ago, the jazz tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington stood onstage at a club in Hermosa Beach, Calif., with his band, the Next Step, ending a version of the ballad standard “My One and Only Love” with an improvised closing tag, like a group cadenza. But it sprung open a whole new chapter of the song. Mr. Washington’s playing spread through the group into a sustained volcanic surge, with a front line of two saxophones and trombone; Miles Mosley’s upright bass and Brandon Coleman’s keyboards run through distortion and wah-wah pedals; and two drummers, Ronald Bruner and Tony Austin, making enfolded, clattering patterns. A series of melodies and rhythms developed on the fly, with Mr. Washington building up to hoarse, Pharoah Sanders-like cries, and then the tailing off commenced Mr. Washington finished last. He closed up his solo in whispers, removed the horn from his mouth and pulled on the loose curls in his hair, smiling absent-mindedly. The unusual circumstances — a … [Read more...] about Los Angeles Jazz With Kamasi Washington and Others
