Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah came to Charleston to cover Dylann Roofâs trial last year intending to write about the nine victims of his racist massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015. Instead, like so many of us in the courthouse every day, she became transfixed by what could not be understood about Mr. Roof, who chose to represent himself so as to block any testimony about his family or psychological background. In this expansive and intimate essay, Ms. Ghansah guides us through what is known of the life this young man who remains âsafeguarded by his knowledge that white American terrorism is never waterboarded for answers.â [GQ »](

Itâs the height of hurricane season, and the Gulf Coast is threatened by a storm named Harvey â Iâm part of the reporting team on it. Another hurricane, Andrew, hit Florida 25 years ago this week; it was Category 5, a monster. Don van Natta and Lizette Alvarez rode it out as their cheap motel collapsed around them and other guests. Read this, and the next time a storm is headed your way youâll be likelier to evacuate. [LONGFORM REPRINTS »]( Â

In todayâs collection of partisan writing you shouldnât miss, we present opinions from across the political spectrum on President Trumpâs increasingly contentious relationship with his own partyâs congressional leaders. One writer from the right points out that the âonly tangible achievementâ of the White House â installing Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court â was the work of Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader. [THE NEW YORK TIMES »](

Fifty years ago, you could fly from a rooftop in Midtown Manhattan directly to the airport. The trip took 10 minutes and was as cheap as a taxi. This delightful video, packed with historic footage, explains how that era came quite literally crashing to its fatal end. But it also previews a future of airborne commuting. [BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK »](

Mondayâs solar eclipse captivated the country and inspired newsrooms, big and small, to cover the story in innovative ways. Melody Kramer of the Wikimedia Foundation highlights notable eclipse projects from around the web. Many were communal in nature, as newsrooms turned to readers to help cover what was both a local and national event. Have an idea for how The Times can put the reader at the center of our reporting?
