[The New York Times]( [The New York Times]( Friday, June 2, 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). []( Tom Gilbert/Tulsa World, via Associated Press [Mid-Ramble]( [Peter Applebome]( [Peter Applebome]( Deputy National Editor Here’s a rare post-mortem tribute, the posting of a 1984 profile of Gregg Allman by Steve Oney, originally published in Esquire. It captures a talented artist not at his peak but at his low point, yet still manages to reveal all the seeds of his greatness. It’s full of rich details, like Allman reminiscing about Jimmy Carter, then Georgia’s governor, giving a party for Bob Dylan at the governor’s mansion. [THE BITTER SOUTHERNER »]( []( Al Drago/The New York Times [Reading Around]( [Anna Dubenko]( [Anna Dubenko]( Senior Digital Strategist This week, I found writers on the right who were worried about judicial bias, writers on the left who found solace in recent local Democratic victories, and writers from the center who examined the “exceptional conflict” between the president’s constitutional duty and private legal interest. [THE NEW YORK TIMES »]( []( Jim Watson/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images [Vamos]( [Tara Parker-Pope]( [Tara Parker-Pope]( Well Editor  Since I’m planning a cross-country drive this summer, I’m shopping for podcasts to keep me entertained. My colleague in Tokyo, Motoko Rich, shared this story about “Celestial Blood,” a telenovela-like podcast about twins who travel to New York from Mexico for a funeral. It stands out in the podcast world because it’s available in both English and Spanish. [ELLE »]( [Last Course]( [Dan Saltzstein]( [Dan Saltzstein]( Assistant Editor, Travel If you’ve sampled the fine desserts at New York restaurants like Otto and Al di La — particularly the city’s most celebrated gelato — you know the work of Meredith Kurtzman. And you are glad you did. But her tale is a poignant one, in part because of the looming probability of retirement. “The impossibility of aging gracefully in the back of the house is rarely reported,” Charlotte Druckman writes. [EATER »]( []( Greg Baker/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images [New and Unimproved]( [Andrew Jacobs]( [Andrew Jacobs]( Global Health Correspondent and Former Beijing Reporter James Palmer, a journalist and longtime resident of Beijing, writes an eloquent requiem to one of the world’s great cities — one that, in my opinion, has long since lost much of it’s charm to waves of government-sponsored urban renewal. The essay details the destruction of the street where he lives, but makes clear that the motivations for such “renovation projects” are often more nefarious than meets the eye.

This is a great tale reflecting the wider fears and hopes, both often amplified by ignorance, projected onto China, the world’s second-largest economy. [VICE »]( []( Joe Raedle/Getty Images [A Mother’s Choice]( [Fernanda Santos]( [Fernanda Santos]( Phoenix Bureau Chief Suffering in silence, muzzled by cultural conventions she could not leave behind, a Laotian woman dying of cancer takes a desperate measure to handle her son’s schizophrenia: She buys a gun and shoots him dead. A devastating story, sensitively told. [LOS ANGELES TIMES »]( []( Roger Jones, via geograph.org.uk [A Path Less Taken]( [Lynda Richardson]( [Lynda Richardson]( Senior Staff Editor, Travel Haven’t we all taken off down trails that are a bit frightening yet exhilarating? How happy we are to have lived to tell the tale. This is a fine one about the Broomway, which is known as the most perilous path in Britain. The writer Robert Macfarlane calls it “the unearthliest” he’s ever walked. He adapted this piece from his book, “The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot.” [BBC TRAVEL »]( []( Daniele Mattioli for the New York Times [Pass/Fail]( [Prashant Rao]( [Prashant Rao]( Deputy Europe Business Editor Is academic freedom compromised when an American university operates a campus in China? This podcast ably addresses the complexity and nuance of the answer, and is well worth listening to in full. [ASIA SOCIETY »]( []( John Taggart for The New York Times [More, More, More]( [Michelle L. Dozois]( [Michelle L. Dozois]( Growth Strategy Editor Here are almost a dozen great stories that have nothing to do with politics, including the tale of the world’s smallest violin, how to make a marriage tidy and the “happy ending” problem.
