2013 “For more than a decade, a relentless campaign by China to steal valuable, confidential information from United States corporations flourished with barely a peep from Washington. And now it might never be stopped,” Newsweek wrote after Edward Snowden, a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency, leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency. After spending 40 days in Moscow’s airport, Snowden was granted asylum in Russia. This past July, the U.S. again accused China of cyberattacks, saying its hacking abilities pose a greater threat than ever before. 1961 “Fallout shelters, like The Twist, have become fashionable,” Newsweek said after President John F. Kennedy advised Americans to prepare for the threat of a nuclear attack. The prepper mentality is still flourishing today, with sales of lavish underground doomsday…

@brendanmarkcole “A person can become globally depleted to the point where they have no resources” » P.16 ÉRIC ZEMMOUR BECOMING PRESIDENT OF France would be a “disaster,” one political operative in Paris tells Newsweek as the shadow of the far-right TV host looms increasingly over next year’s election. Over the last few weeks, Zemmour—who was born in Paris to a Jewish family from Algeria—has been promoting his best seller France Hasn’t Had Its Last Word, which claims that Islam and immigration will destroy the country. On screen and on the front pages, the 63-year-old is riding a wave of media prominence built upon his popular talk show on CNews, a right-wing television network likened to Fox News that in May became France’s No. 1 news network for the first time.…

AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTERS have become a big part of American medicine. These are facilities where patients can have specific surgical procedures that usually don’t require hospitalization, meaning they can have an operation and then be back home quickly, often the same day. Currently there are over 5,000 Medicare-certified ambulatory surgical centers nationwide in all the major surgical specialties, such as orthopedic surgery, cardiac surgery, eye surgery and spinal surgery. To help our readers make knowledgeable choices when they seek care for themselves or loved ones, Newsweek has again partnered with respected global research firm Statista to name America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers. This year our list spotlights 470 facilities in the 25 states with the most ambulatory surgical centers. The states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,…

LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE UNITED States fell by one-and-a-half years in 2020, the largest annual decline in life expectancy since World War II. Now, one-and-a-half years into the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 728,000 American lives lost, we have an abundance of safe, accessible COVID-19 vaccines, and the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine received full approval beyond emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August. Now, eligibility for boosters and children is expanding. Summer 2021 was supposed to be a return to normalcy, a “hot vax” summer of connection and prosperity. Instead, we saw a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the return of Center for Disease Control mask mandates, largely due to the over 90 million Americans who are eligible but remain unvaccinated, in the setting of the highly…

PORTRAYING THE BELOVED LATE PRINCESS DIANA WOULD BE A DAUNTING task for any actor, but when director Pablo Larraín asked Kristen Stewart to take on the role in his new film Spencer (November 5th), she agreed immediately. “When I first started talking to Pablo, I didn’t even know what the project was yet. I was like, ‘I’ll do it.’” She admits, “it felt a little bit reckless,” but that spirit felt appropriate for Larraín’s Diana. “There was something about this sort of psychotic confidence that he had. Something about him feels unstoppable.” The film is a reimagining of a period of three days over Christmas shortly before Diana separates from Prince Charles. “She was fighting for her life and trying to get to the point where she could become herself…
