Jones had already been found liable for defamation for falsely describing the shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six educators, as a hoax and for accusing the victims’ relatives of being actors complicit in the plot. As a result, the families were threatened in person and online. Jones was found liable of violating Connecticut’s Unfair Trade Practices Act, by using lies about the shooting to sell products on Infowars. There is no cap on punitive damages under that law.

Aretha Franklin in 1973.Associated Press 8. The F.B.I. monitored Aretha Franklin for years. Federal agents kept tabs on the soul and gospel music star, collecting intelligence about her involvement in the civil rights movement and what the F.B.I. suspected were her links to Black Panthers, Communists and others it deemed “Black extremists,” [according to a 270-page file released last month](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlKb4MP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMC8xMi91cy9mYmktYXJldGhhLWZyYW5rbGluLXN1cnZlaWxsYW5jZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjIxMDEyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTc0NDQzJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEwOTc3NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY0UMOUdjyIgZxlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). The file reflects an era when the bureau spied not only on civil rights leaders, political organizers and Communists, but also on popular Black entertainers, including the singer Harry Belafonte and the satirist Dick Gregory. An expert at Yale’s African American studies department said the file “allows us to once again think about the role that Black art plays in revolutionary ideas in this country and what a threat that poses to the edifices of power.” An umpire’s kit of essentials now includes a microphone, an earpiece and broadcast equipment. Maddie McGarvey for The New York Times 9. Umpires expand their duties beyond balls and strikes. This season, after hours of training and rehearsals, M.L.B. umpires were asked to address rancorous crowds directly and [explain some of the sport’s trickiest rules](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlKb4MP0TyaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMC8xMi9zcG9ydHMvYmFzZWJhbGwvbWxiLXVtcGlyZS1yZXBsYXktYW5ub3VuY2VtZW50cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjIxMDEyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTc0NDQzJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEwOTc3NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY0UMOUdjyIgZxlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). The effort introduces a practice that had long been adopted by other major men’s leagues in America and is intended to make games easier to watch. But the transition has been difficult. Even among umpires unafraid of the spotlight, the new system represents a change in their fundamental mission of getting the call right. “You don’t want to embarrass yourself,” one umpire said.

Curtis hates to be scared and doesn’t like to watch violent films. But ever since her original performance in the 1978 classic “Halloween,” she has built a reputation as an intimidating character. Off screen, Curtis displays her intensity in a different way: Where other actresses can be cagey, she is forthright, whether the topic is aging, addiction or plastic surgery. And at home, she goes to elaborate lengths to make sure that her dog doesn’t know when she’s leaving. Have a no-nonsense night. Lara Signorelli and Veronica Sanchis compiled photos for this briefing.
