From Anna Dubenko, Sam Roberts and more View in [Browser]( | Add nytdirect@nytimes.com to your address book. [The New York Times]( [The New York Times]( Friday, September 1, 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). []( Erin Trieb for The New York Times [Harvey Hits]( [Anna Dubenko]( [Anna Dubenko]( Senior Digital Strategist Today, instead of rounding up the best partisan writing, I focused gathering the noteworthy journalism on the Harvey disaster from around the internet. You’ll read about underreported problems, like how mold and food spoilage are likely to plague Houston. And we have ProPublica’s series of tweets highlighting the problems that have surrounded the Red Cross through the years. (The partisan roundup will be back next week.) [THE NEW YORK TIMES »Â]( [Part of You]( [John Schwartz]( [John Schwartz]( Climate Change Reporter Can you imagine holding your own heart in your hands? These transplant patients get the chance to do just that. It’s unsettling. It’s sobering. It helps them resolve to treat the new heart with care. And, surprisingly, it can even bring closure after the trauma of facing death. Fascinating, but don’t read it over breakfast. [THE ATLANTIC »Â]( []( Karsten Moran for The New York Times [High Stakes]( [Michael Wines]( [Michael Wines]( National Correspondent Much has been written, including in The Times, about the Kushners’ financial troubles with the flagship 5th Avenue skyscraper that catapulted them from lessors of New Jersey garden apartments to Manhattan real estate tycoons. This article reveals new details about their efforts to hold onto the building by tapping cash from their other holdings and, potentially more troublingly, fund-raising attempts overseas. It covers not just the known efforts involving China and Qatar, but also previously undisclosed contacts with “South Korea’s sovereign-wealth fund, France’s richest man, Israeli banks and insurance companies, and exploratory talks with a Saudi developer.” [BLOOMBERG »]( []( Drew Angerer/Getty Images [Double Life]( [Rod Nordland]( [Rod Nordland]( International Correspondent at Large This is a disturbing tale that contrasts a powerful Arab ambassador’s do-gooder image with accounts of a party life involving prostitutes and trafficked women, based largely on hacked emails. The subject is the United Arab Emirates’ envoy to Washington, Yousef al-Otaiba. Contemplating a coming romp, he emails a law school buddy and fellow partyer, “Is my diplomatic immunity valid in Vegas?” The buddy jokes about preparing a contract for the bacchanal: “I, (insert name of dumb girl), agree to let (insert name of one of us filthbags) hit it. I (insert dumb broad’s name again–if her drunk ass can remember it), am at least 18 years old. Signed (little chicks signature).” [THE INTERCEPT »]( ADVERTISEMENT []( Kacper Pempel/Reuters [Hijacked]( [Michael Roston]( [Michael Roston]( Senior Staff Editor, Science In 2005 in graduate school, I helped launch a website with my classmates. A subsequent generation of the site’s editors didn’t realize its domain name registration was expiring, and the page was seized by search engine spammers. A fellow former editor of the site decided to track down what happened, exposing a corner of shady business on the internet that could happen to you, too. [GIZMODO »]( []( Lee Smith/Reuters [For the Love of Cricket]( [Prashant Rao]( [Prashant Rao]( Deputy Europe Business Editor I will soon be taking colleagues from The Times to their first cricket match — England versus West Indies at Lord’s, the most important ground in cricket. The two sides have a historic rivalry, and in the 1980s, the West Indies was perhaps the most terrifying team in cricket. This piece takes us back to a particularly brutal series and its effects (both physical and emotional). [THE GUARDIAN »]( [Guarding the A-List]( [Sam Roberts]( [Sam Roberts]( Urban Affairs Correspondent The Hamptons, where lobster salad can sell for $100 a pound, never disappoint. The latest trend in Southampton this summer is what Michael Price of the Brennan Center for Justice called “security chic.” My former colleague Joe Nocera reports that counterterrorism police officers with automatic weapons are regularly staked out at private galas. Terrorists can strike anywhere, of course. But critics say this display of weaponry is just one more example of militarization by local cops who would do more good by screening for drunken drivers. [BLOOMBERG VIEW »]( []( Lisa Wiltse for The New York Times [Get Out Your Apron]( [Sam Sifton]( [Sam Sifton]( Food Editor How insanely great is Jenny Rosenstrach? Here’s a recent “Anatomy of a Weeknight Dinner” on her blog, and it’ll have you making dumplings soon. [DINNER: A LOVE STORY »]( Looking for More Great Reads?
