[The New York Times]( [The New York Times]( Friday, March 3, 2017 [NYTimes.com »]( New York Times reporters and editors are highlighting great stories from around the web. Let us know how you like it at [wwr@nytimes.com](mailto:wwr@nytimes.com?subject=Newsletter%200106%20Feedback). []( Spencer Platt/Getty Images [The New Cold War]( [David Leonhardt]( [David Leonhardt]( Op-Ed Columnist My favorite articles in The New Yorker often change the way I think about a subject in the news. There is a good example this week: this piece — under a rare triple byline: Evan Osnos, David Remnick and Joshua Yaffa — about Russia’s campaign of “active measures” against the United States. As I discussed in [my daily newsletter]( the piece is all the more meaningful given this week’s news about Jeff Sessions. The article also broke the news of Jared Kushner’s meeting in December with Mike Flynn and the Russian ambassador at Trump Tower. [THE NEW YORKER »]( []( Abbas Dulleh/Associated Press [Without Her]( [Sheri Fink]( [Sheri Fink]( Correspondent A Liberian nursing assistant, Salome Karwah, survived Ebola and went on to care for patients with the disease. For her dedication, she was named a Time Person of the Year for 2014. This story shows how the health system seems to have failed Ms. Karwah when she suffered complications from childbirth this month, encapsulating the urgent, ongoing need to counter the feelings of fear some people harbor against Ebola survivors and to strengthen health care in West Africa. [Time broke the story of her death]( in the international media, and this account goes a little deeper. [NPR »]( []( Library of Congress, via Alamy [Hidden Charges]( [Patrick J. Lyons]( [Patrick J. Lyons]( Senior News Editor, International How much did it cost the United States to nearly double its land area with the Louisiana Purchase? France was paid $15 million, as we have heard in social-studies class, but most of the land wasn’t really France’s to sell. It had to be bought, confiscated or conquered from Native Americans — a process that cost billions more, and is still not complete. This article’s nifty animated map shows how it happened over the two centuries since Jefferson’s deal with Napoleon.  [SLATE »]( []( Sergey Ponomarev for The New York Times [Fraternal Disorder]( [Patrick Boehler]( [Patrick Boehler]( Writer, Morning Briefing, Europe Edition This interview with a brother of Geert Wilders provides some insights into the Dutch populist’s upbringing and what got him into politics. And it’s a reminder that savvy firebrand politicians like Mr. Wilders have families too: “I believe he is unhappy. That makes me unhappy, too.” [DER SPIEGEL »]( []( David J. Phillip/Associated Press [Just for Fun]( [Anna Dubenko]( [Anna Dubenko]( Anna Dubenko, Senior Digital Strategist In today’s installment of The Times’s guide to the best of the internet, we have stories of dog rentals, treasure hunts and how to make baseball less boring.
