Eight times a week at the Majestic Theater in Manhattan, the entire, harrowing arc of a classic tragedy is delivered in 4½ minutes that are as exhilarating as they are upsetting.

Later she testified, “Eventually it became a job for me.”She said the freak-offs “took a big chunk of my life,” and recalled being up for days — drinking, taking drugs and having sex with “strangers.” The encounters, she testified, ranged from roughly 36 hours to four days in length, though they could last even longer with breaks. She said she would then need to recover from the drug use, dehydration and sleep deprivation.“There was no space to do anything else but to recover and just try to feel normal again,” Ms. Ventura said.

When Slate Auto, a start-up, unveiled a roughly $25,000 electric pickup truck last month, social media lit up with comments. Many people saw the no-frills vehicle, with an easy-to-repair body and nostalgic hand crank windows, as a refreshing antidote to today’s overstuffed and increasingly unaffordable cars.How unaffordable? Average monthly payments on new cars have soared to $739 in March from $537 in January 2019, according to Cox Automotive. The average new car costs $47,400, with electric models around $59,200.

HONG KONG: Asian stocks fluctuated Wednesday (May 14), with investors struggling to track a strong day on Wall Street as euphoria over the China-US trade detente petered out. But while the days of breathtaking volatility seen through April appear to be over for now, analysts warned that more work was needed for Washington to reach tariff deals with countries and instill a sense of stability. Data showing US inflation unexpectedly slowed last month provided some cheer, though observers pointed out that the real impact of Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tolls will not likely be felt until May’s readings.
