Nobuaki Coté and Oliver Szin, two ten-year-old students at the School of American Ballet, star as “Fritz” in this year’s @nycballet production of The Nutcracker.

Tatiana Schlossberg for @newyorkermag, photographed this past Tuesday. Schlossberg writes for the magazine about receiving a terminal leukemia diagnosis at age 35, which she discovered hours after giving birth to her second child last May. She touches on the experience of being dependent on a strained healthcare system while her cousin, RFK Jr., wields his influence. You can find Tatiana’s essay on the front page of newyorker.com today.
Thank you Tatiana, @roybeeson, @nickrapaz, @noelletheard and @joannamilter.

Ten years in the making, Ken Burns’s 12-hour documentary “The American Revolution” premieres this week on PBS. I joined him back in September for thirty minutes on a battlefield outside Saratoga Springs, NY where the first major patriot victory of the war took place. He believes that our current political climate isn’t unique to our time: “almost all of American history is division.”
Thank you @ericabackerberg @nytimes.
