close Video NY Gov Kathy Hochul on rehiring unvaccinated healthcare workers: COVID-19 'has not gone away' New York Governor Kathy Hochul shared with a reporter that rehiring unvaccinated healthcare workers was not the right answer, despite the vaccination mandates being overturned. Gov. Kathy Hochul's proposed affordable housing plan requiring municipalities to build more affordable housing would have a devastating impact on suburban communities throughout the Empire State, especially on Long Island, New York, House Republicans told Fox News Digital.

SAN FRANCISCO — Gabriela Cámara is having a very good year. Five years after she moved to the United States from her native Mexico, she is at the tipping point of world culinary fame. Her 20-year-old restaurant, Contramar , is both a beloved institution and a power-lunch destination: the Union Square Cafe of Mexico City.

IN EARLY SUMMER, I PAID TWO VISITS TO Harold Bloom, the eminent literary critic famous for his prodigious intellectual energy. On both occasions, he seemed intent on staging a deathbed scene. Collapsed on a reclining armchair, brow furrowed, mouth sour, the 64-year-old Bloom looked worse than pained. "The battle is lost," he whispered.
