Daniel Laskin When Misha Rai sat down to write the introduction for Art and the Moment, the Kenyon Review’s special project on voting, it was natural that she would turn to personal memories. Rai has an instinct for storytelling, a style brimming with narrative warmth, and a gift for interweaving layers of time and meaning, uncovering flashes when the wider world, with its conflict and complexity, surprises ordinary life. In this case she evoked two scenes. There is her childhood home in India, where her father would expect young Misha and her brother to read one of the family’s four newspapers every day and then grill them on stories in the various sections. And there is a somber moment in the Florida statehouse in 2017, when the state legislature posthumously exonerated the “Groveland Four,” four young African American men who almost seventy years earlier had been falsely convicted of raping a young white woman. ....

Tubbs joins Newsom as economic advisor Former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs at a press conference in Sacramento on March 9, 2020.

Newspapers are how I first noticed the world. From a young age, my brother and I were expected to read at least one of the four dailies that were delivered to our home in the mornings. Sometimes our father merely discussed the parts that we’d found interesting and wanted to know why we were drawn to that particular news item. At other times we were subjected to a veritable grilling about the news in every section. And although our father was always kind and patient, I found it hard to perform under such pressure while my brother excelled at recalling exact details and, at times, quoting whole passages of information. Since our father cared more for the act of learning, for his children to engage with the world, and less for a task being completed in the manner he originally set, I began to read one section of the paper more thoroughly and discuss it with him. Eight pages of international news. Even at a young age I was looking outside my inhabited space, fascinated by the di ....
Interstate grid operator Southwest Power Pool has expanded its wholesale energy market, the latest step in a series of nationwide moves aimed at bringing more efficiency to parts of the country rich in renewable energy potential but lacking in the energy trading regimes to make the best use of it. Monday’s launch of SPP’s Western Energy Imbalance Service Market will bring real-time energy-balancing trading activity to eight utilities and transmission authorities across Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. These regions have some of the best wind power resources in the country and are seeing a massive growth of wind farms to take advantage of it. But like other parts of the country with fast-growing renewables, they can struggle to integrate wind power into the bilateral arrangements they ve previously relied on to balance generation capacity with electricity demand across their interconnected transmission systems. ....
