The Mystery of the Missing Time Magazine Cocaine Cover

The Mystery of the Missing Time Magazine Cocaine Cover

Published by Sam Flores

Peruse eBay, and you’ll see endless swag swiped by stylish sticky fingers: baby pink pens from the Beverly Hills Hotel, silver catchalls from the Hôtel du Cap, a leather wine-list cover from The Polo Bar. “People convince themselves they’re preserving a memory, not committing a misdemeanor. Or, if you want to be generous, it’s ‘status archaeology’: proof that you were there and that you mattered,” Griffith hypothesizes. Ergo, the Time cover. Cecchi-Azzolina, who was formerly the maître d’ at Raoul’s and The River Café, gets the joke. Anyone who’s been in New York’s downtown social scene over the last fifty years gets it. Cocaine picks up in the city’s historic lineage right around the time Tammany Hall ends. Which leads us back to the cocaine cover. When Cecchi’s opened in 2023, the editor in chief of Time magazine, Sam Jacobs, came in for dinner. He had just read Cecchi-Azzolina’s memoir Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D’, in which the restaurateur recalled reading a 1981 Time cover story about the …

Sarah Ferguson breaks cover after 7 months | Royal | News

Published by Sam Flores

Sarah Ferguson has been pictured for the first time in seven months after she went into ‘hiding’ amid mounting pressure over her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The 66-year-old, who has not been pictured publicly since last year, has been seen at a luxury Alpine ski resort in Austria. Dressed in an all-black outfit and carrying a teal tote bag, Sarah was also seen trying to keep her identity private with a light-coloured cap. She was last seen more than 200 days ago and has kept silent on calls to give evidence to US lawmakers on her Epstein links. In January, it was reported that Sarah was in the midst of a “housing crisis”, as her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, could not offer her a home and she wanted to stay in Windsor. While appearing in Epstein files is not a suggestion of wrongdoing, Sarah featured prominently, with one email from 2011 referring to Epstein as a “supreme friend”. In exclusive pictures obtained by The Sun, Sarah is seen emerging from a blacked-out …

‘L’Abuso’: Real Italian magazine cover of Israeli settler sparks online storm – Truth or Fake

‘L’Abuso’: Real Italian magazine cover of Israeli settler sparks online storm – Truth or Fake

Published by Sam Flores

Prominent left-leaning Italian weekly L’Espresso is at the centre of a diplomatic storm online, after the Israeli ambassador to Italy slammed its choice of front cover as “manipulative”. The magazine titled its latest edition “L’Abuso” or “The Abuse”, illustrating the cover with a photo of an armed Israeli settler sneering, whilst pointing his smartphone at a visibly distressed Palestinian woman. Israeli envoy Jonathan Peled said the image of the grinning settler “distorts the complex reality with which Israel must coexist, promoting stereotypes and hatred.” Online, pro-Israel accounts are casting doubt over the photo’s authenticity, questioning if it is fake or AI-generated, with some saying it dehumanises Jews and reinforces anti-Semitic stereotypes, likening it to Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust. In response to the criticism, the photographer of the image, Pietro Masturzo, confirmed that it is indeed real, sharing a video filmed from the incident in Idhna, west of Hebron on October 12, 2025. He explained that it was captured on the first day of the olive harvest there, when an armed group of Israeli settlers …

The Atlantic’s May Cover: Caity Weaver’s Quest

The Atlantic’s May Cover: Caity Weaver’s Quest

Published by José Betancourt

“Here is the promise you and I must cling to across the thousands of words that follow: At some point within this text, I will reveal to you what—­after 555 responses, 13,000 miles of travel, and months of mono­maniacal research—­I have determined to be the best free restaurant bread in America. I will not attempt to slither to the moral high ground, arguing that best is a meaningless measure, or insisting that all bread is dear in its own way. Even if you attempt to betray me—for instance, by merely scanning the text that follows for the phrase Here it is: the best free restaurant bread in America—I will uphold my end of the bargain.” In The Atlantic’s May cover story, staff writer Caity Weaver takes readers on a delightful and poignant journalistic quest––and takes no prisoners along the way––to reveal to America the truly perfect free restaurant loaf within its midst. This was a question that dogged Weaver on dinners out with her husband, enjoying what she considered at the time to be the …

Anna Wintour’s Vogue cover is more than a cameo – it’s a power play | Fashion

Anna Wintour’s Vogue cover is more than a cameo – it’s a power play | Fashion

Published by Sam Flores

In the world of magazines, when someone announces they’re leaving a job, their colleagues will traditionally present them with their own personalised mock-up of the magazine’s front cover. Perhaps their face is superimposed on the body of a previous celebrity cover star. There are probably some witty cover lines referencing memorable office moments or their favourite snacks. It’s a rite of passage – and this week, Anna Wintour was bestowed with her very own cover. But instead of a jokey imitation bidding her adieu, it was the real, glossy deal, coming to a newsstand near you on 28 April. In a somewhat surprising effort to promote the forthcoming The Devil Wears Prada 2, Vogue’s May issue sees Wintour share the cover with Meryl Streep, whose steely Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of the fictional title Runway, is said to have been inspired by Wintour. “Seeing Double. When Miranda met Anna” reads the cover line. While Wintour has fronted various industry titles, including Interview in 1993 and Ad Week in 2017, it’s the first time an editor has …

Louisiana bill would expand racketeering law to cover gambling crimes

Louisiana bill would expand racketeering law to cover gambling crimes

Published by skeptic

Louisiana lawmakers are pressing ahead with legislation that would expand the state’s racketeering laws to cover a range of gambling-related crimes. House Bill 53 cleared the House on Monday (March 30), and quickly moved to the Senate for further consideration. Rep. Bryan Fontenot, who sponsored the measure, saw it pass with strong support. Lawmakers backed the bill by wide margins, with vote counts of 87-11 and 86-11, while several members did not vote. The Senate has already given the proposal its first reading and placed it on the calendar. #Louisiana HB53 adds gambling crimes to racketeering laws; passed House 86–11, now heads to Senate for further approval. @RWW pic.twitter.com/9M6wTA5MdI — Suswati Basu (@suswatibasu) March 30, 2026 The bill attempts to reshape how Louisiana defines racketeering activity by folding in a series of gambling-related offenses. The legislation amends state law “relative to gambling crimes; to add certain gambling crimes as predicate offenses for racketeering activity,” according to the bill text.

Rashid Johnson Photographed Jay-Z for New GQ Cover Story

Published by José Betancourt

The Adam Baidawi era of GQ has begun with a bang. On Tuesday, the magazine unveiled the cover for its new special global issue featuring an extensive interview with Jay-Z—who is now styling his name JAŸ-Z in honor of the 30th anniversary of his 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt. For the cover, GQ tapped contemporary art star Rashid Johnson, who has interrogated the Black male psyche in paintings, installations, and photographs, while also resisting the notion that Blackness is monolithic or easily defined. Related Articles In that respect, Johnson is an apt match for the rapper and hip-hop mogul, who has spent his career behind the mic, in front of the camera, and in the boardroom challenging facile notions of Blackness and its place in American culture and life. Rashid Johnson/GQ Jay-Z has also, over the last decade or so, increasingly engaged the contemporary art world, most memorably with the music video for the 2013 song “Picasso Baby,” which featured the artist performing at Pace Gallery in a manner recalling Marina Abramović’s 2010 installation The …

Rashid Johnson, the Artist Who Shot Jay-Z’s GQ Cover, Drew Inspiration From the Harlem Renaissance

Published by Jenni Sidey

Jay-Z discovered the work of Chicago-born artist Rashid Johnson—whose paintings, installations, and photographs often represent Black intellectual life—about a decade ago, says Johnson, when the hip-hop mogul was assembling his personal art collection. The admiration was mutual. “Jay’s music, lyricism, and sophistication are very much in line with a lot of interesting and historically important Black thinkers,” says Johnson, who places Jay-Z in a lineage alongside Harold Cruse, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Michael Eric Dyson. Johnson’s own fascination with Black intellectualism began when he was a child, sparked by a copy of Cruse’s 1967 work The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual perched on his mother’s bookshelf. (The volume later appeared in the artist’s 2024 solo Guggenheim exhibition, Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers, a multidisciplinary showcase on Black consciousness.) The title alone sent his 10-year-old mind spiraling—as he told The New Yorker in 2024, “I remember thinking, What is this crisis, and what the hell am I expected to do about it?” For GQ’s April 2026 issue, Johnson turns his lens to an indelible …
