Here’s the latest. [The Business Roundtable includes executives representing some of America’s largest companies, among them, from left in the bottom row, Julie Sweet of Accenture, Brian Moynihan of Bank of America, Tim Cook of Apple and Robert F.

The “purpose of a corporation” just changed.

In a statement issued by their association, Business Roundtable, the executives — including all those pictured above — said companies must also invest in employees, deliver value to customers, deal fairly and ethically with suppliers and support local communities. The move was seen as both a recognition of corporate evolution and a tacit acknowledgment of the scrutiny companies are facing. Meanwhile, the White House, while publicly dismissing any notion that a recession may be near, is [pulling together contingency plans](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP4QKAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDgvMTkvYnVzaW5lc3MvdHJ1bXAtYWRtaW5pc3RyYXRpb24tY29uc2lkZXJzLW1vdmVzLXRvLWJvbHN0ZXItZWNvbm9teS5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDE5MDgxOT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTc1NyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2MzAwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMTkwODE5VwNueXRCCgAmpSVbXbBeQoRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) in case the economy weakens further. _____ Spencer Platt/Getty Images 2. Planned Parenthood rejected Title X funds. The organization said it would no longer [accept the federal grants rather than comply](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8xOS9oZWFsdGgvcGxhbm5lZC1wYXJlbnRob29kLXRpdGxlLXguaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAxOTA4MTk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE3NTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjMwMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDgxOVcDbnl0QgoAJqUlW12wXkKEUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) with a new Trump administration rule that restricts what health providers can say about abortion. Above, a protest against the rule in February. The move could affect 1.5 million low-income women who rely on Planned Parenthood for services like birth control, pregnancy tests and screening for sexually transmitted diseases. The group receives about $60 million of the $286 million given annually by Title X to health centers. The administration said that clinics accepting the funds could not refer women to an abortion provider or suggest where to obtain an abortion. Planned Parenthood and many other organizations say that would force them to withhold medical information and interfere with the doctor-patient relationship. _____ Dave Sanders for The New York Times 3. One firing, one reassignment in two major cases.

But, the next time you’re walking down the street and you feel safe, thank the N.Y.P.D.” And Attorney General William Barr announced that the [acting director of the Bureau of Prisons](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP0TvaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8xOS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9idXJlYXUtb2YtcHJpc29ucy1lcHN0ZWluLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMTkwODE5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNzU3JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYzMDAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAxOTA4MTlXA255dEIKACalJVtdsF5ChFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) was reassigned, the latest fallout over the suicide of the financier Jeffrey Epstein at a federal jail in Manhattan. Mr. Barr named Kathleen Hawk Sawyer, who ran the bureau from 1992 to 2003, to replace him. _____ [The Al Hol camp in northern Syria, which American intelligence officials say is evolving into a hotbed of ISIS ideology and a massive breeding ground for future terrorists.]Ivor Prickett for The New York Times 4.

For now, American and international forces can only try to ensure that the group remains contained and away from urban areas.

Twitter and Facebook removed Chinese accounts.

Facebook excised a dozen pages. “We’re constantly working to detect and stop this type of activity because we don’t want our services to be used to manipulate people,” Facebook said. _____ Tom Brenner for The New York Times 6. Elizabeth Warren apologized at a Native American forum.

She was met with a standing ovation when she took the stage. On Friday, Ms. Warren rolled out a set of proposals intended to help Native Americans, covering topics like tribal sovereignty and missing indigenous women. _____ Adam Dean for The New York Times 7. Thailand’s roads are deadly, especially for the poor. A Times investigation found that in Thailand, which has one of the highest rates of traffic deaths, the [poor are far more likely to be killed in accidents](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP0T4aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8xOS93b3JsZC9hc2lhL3RoYWlsYW5kLWluZXF1YWxpdHktcm9hZC1mYXRhbGl0aWVzLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMTkwODE5P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNzU3JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYzMDAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAxOTA4MTlXA255dEIKACalJVtdsF5ChFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) than the rich and well-connected. Much of what makes the roads so deadly boils down to the vehicles. The cars driven by the wealthy tend to be new, while many Thai families can afford only a single scooter or motorcycle, setting up a devastating mismatch. Above, the aftermath of an accident in Bangkok in April. But justice is also uneven. The wealthy often go unpunished for speeding or driving while drunk. _____ Richard Drew/Associated Press 8. Warnings about drinking alcohol during pregnancy may backfire. Punitive approaches — like equating drinking with child abuse or threatening to involve child protective services — [can dissuade women from getting prenatal care](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8xOS91cHNob3QvcHJlZ25hbmN5LWFsY29ob2wtd2FybmluZ3MtYmFja2ZpcmUuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAxOTA4MTk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE3NTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjMwMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDgxOVcDbnl0QgoAJqUlW12wXkKEUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), our medical contributor writes. Most medical organizations say that the only quantity of alcohol known to be “safe” is none, and that pregnant women should not drink at all. But policies that punish women may convince mothers-to-be that even talking with their physicians isn’t a good idea, research shows. One alternative is for doctors to engage with women who drink during pregnancy to find out — from them — what would help. _____ Jessica Chou for The New York Times 9. A mega-chip for computers. A Silicon Valley start-up, Cerebras, unveiled what it claims is [the largest chip ever built](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8xOS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FydGlmaWNpYWwtaW50ZWxsaWdlbmNlLWNoaXAtY2VyZWJyYXMuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAxOTA4MTk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE3NTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjMwMCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDgxOVcDbnl0QgoAJqUlW12wXkKEUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). It’s as big as a dinner plate — 100 times the size of a typical chip. The engineers believe it can be used in giant data centers and help accelerate advances in artificial intelligence. Moving big chunks of A.I. data between small chips can be slow. Cerebras’s giant chip is meant to keep the data together, for faster processing, though its performance claims have not been independently verified. _____ Damien Maloney for The New York Times 10. And finally, an Orwellian world on Amazon. The works of George Orwell, whose classic “1984” described the wholesale rewriting of historical records, are the victims of a 21st-century version of “Newspeak.” Our reporter explored [the world of counterfeit books on Amazon](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfPaqlP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8xOS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FtYXpvbi1vcndlbGwtMTk4NC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDE5MDgxOT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTc1NyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2MzAwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMTkwODE5VwNueXRCCgAmpSVbXbBeQoRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) by buying a dozen Orwell books. Some were blatantly illegal, published without permission of the author’s estate. Others were full of typos and revised wording. Others even changed the titles. One edition of “Animal Farm: A Fairy Story” referred to itself on the back cover as “Animals Farm: A Fair Story.” The preface referred to another Orwell work, “Homage to Catalonia,” as “Homepage to Catalonia.” Have a doubleplusgood evening.  Your Evening Briefing is posted at 6 p.m. Eastern.
