United States | Coupon clipping Photograph: Erin Schaff/The New York Times/Redux/Eyevine Jul 24th 2025 | SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO | 4 min read B Y DAYBREAK in Santa Fe, the line of cars already snakes down the street. Families in sedans, builders in trucks and one off-duty taxi queue up to get frozen chicken, a sack of potatoes and a gallon of milk. Everyone in line at the Food Depot, a food bank, gets served, but one couple in their 50s arrived at 5:20am just to be sure. They receive money for food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme ( SNAP ), a federal welfare programme. It lasts them five days.

Booze, bills and $500,000 photoshoots: the golden age of magazines
Culture | In (and out) of Vogue Sharp haircut, sharper judgments Photograph: Eyevine/Redux/New York Times/Edward Keating 'F ucking' was forbidden. So too was 'chortling', 'quipping', 'donning', 'penning', 'opining' and—lest that list of linguistic prohibitions left any writer feeling faint—'passing away'. The list of banned words in Vanity Fair was, for such a glamorous magazine, parsimonious, even pious: 'glitzy' was vetoed; 'hookers' were out; hair must not be 'coiffed'; one never ate in an 'eatery'. Condé Nast's magazines may have celebrated fancy living, but they did so in plain English.

Ferrari is looking less like a carmaker and more like Hermès
Photograph: Maurizio Fiorino/The New York Times/Redux/Eyevine Jul 2nd 2025 | Maranello | 5 min read T he workaday town of Maranello, near such architectural jewels as Bologna and Modena, shares little of their charm. Nevertheless, its main attraction is a centrepiece of Italian culture. A statue of a prancing horse on a roundabout reminds visitors that this is the home of Ferrari. Italian design, exclusivity and racing heritage have made the company both a champion of the car industry and something altogether different. For a few AI whizzes, pay is going ballistic The best entrepreneurs ask themselves a particular question Corning's boss is a corporate stalwart with a passion for glass Trustbusters have been poking their noses into it The self-styled reinvention powerhouse faces its toughest job yet—remaking itself Suppliers, once far more profitable than auto firms, are struggling

Culture | Standing athwart history, yelling stop Photograph: Eyevine/New York Times/Redux/Sam Falk R EADY to feel lazy and unaccomplished? William F. Buckley wrote his first bestseller when he was 25. Over the next 57 years, he would write more than 50 books, including 20 novels. When he was 29, he founded the National Review, a magazine. When he was 40, he created 'Firing Line', a public-affairs tv show; he would go on to host 1,505 episodes.
