Here, the architect is pictured with a model of the museum in 1945, alongside Solomon Guggenheim and Hilla Ribay, director of the Guggenheim Museum.<\/span> Public domain, Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress, New York World-Telegram &amp; Sun Newspaper Photograph Collection, Prints &amp; Photographs Division.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Guggenheim Museum in New York City is architecture as sculpture \u2014 a smooth, creamy-colored, curved form that deliberately defies its square, gray urban context, and succeeds by harnessing the pure abstraction of modernism to the archaic form of the spiral. It proclaims the authority of the architect. It says to the public: It\u2019s my art. Learn to live with it. It stands alone as the built confirmation of the architect\u2019s supremacy as artist.<\/p>\n<p>The Guggenheim is also the defining symbol of the legacy of its designer, the legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Through his work and the force of his personality, Wright transformed the architect into artist \u2014 a feat he never could have accomplished without a long, complex and rich relationship with New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Wright is best known as a pop icon, a flamboyant individualist with a chaotic love life who routinely bullied clients and collaborators \u2014 all in the service of his powerful personality and homegrown American aesthetic. But there was more to him than that. Wright was the first true star of his field, and his vision and success liberated generations of architects in his wake, from Frank Gehry to Zaha Hadid to Santiago Calatrava, inviting them to move beyond utilitarian function packed in square boxes to explore sculptural forms with autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>Less known is the role New York City played in his vast influence as an artist. Wright complained shrilly about the city, calling it a prison, a crime of crimes, a pig pile, an incongruous mantrap and more, but this was the bluster of someone who protested too much. New York forged Wright\u2019s celebrity as an American genius, resurrected his career in the late 1920s, and ultimately set him up for the glory of his final decades and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Wright got his start far from New York. Born into a dysfunctional Wisconsin family in 1867, he weathered his parents\u2019 divorce but dropped out of college. He became the righthand assistant of the architect Louis Sullivan, a pioneer in Chicago\u2019s efforts to create a distinctive American architecture, and in the 1890s started his own practice in Chicago, and Oak Park, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>By 1909 Wright had revolutionized domestic architecture, opening up the interior spaces of houses and harmonizing them with the landscape. He spent much of the 1910s in Japan designing the Imperial Hotel. Upon his return to America in the early 1920s, he found his career in shambles and his personal life in disarray, and spent much of the decade trying to reestablish his practice and his personal equilibrium. His brilliant projects went mostly unbuilt, and the yellow press covered his messy divorce and daily exploits. In the early 1930s Wright began to reemerge to acclaim in the public eye. In the last two decades of his life, his built work proliferated, and he rocketed to international fame.<\/p>\n<p>Wright lived almost 92 years, so he had a long time to establish this fame \u2014 and he is experiencing one of his periodic resurgences of popularity today. Wright\u2019s houses are once again in vogue (after decades of going in and out of fashion) and two chairs from the early Prairie period recently sold at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars. What\u2019s more, the architect is enjoying renewed status as a cult figure, revered by his followers for his independence and individualism\u2014the inspiration, at least indirectly, for Howard Roark in Ayn Rand\u2019s <em>The Fountainhead<\/em>. Wright\u2019s latest generation of fans are rushing out to buy a recent biography that revisits the tragic and notorious fires at the architect\u2019s compound at Taliesin, his home and studio near Spring Green, Wisconsin. They gather enthusiastically on the Internet, posting snippets of Wright\u2019s writings on Twitter. Some still refer to him reverently as \u201cMr. Wright.\u201d He\u2019s a cash cow for the eponymous foundation which, having just announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/celebrities\/2020\/01\/28\/architecture-school-started-frank-lloyd-wright-close\/4602907002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closing his unprofitable school<\/a>, licenses his name on everything from tea cups to ties.<\/p>\n<p>Wright\u2019s detractors have a lot to talk about these days, too. Wright was the sort of old white male who makes easy target practice, a famously arrogant figure who often alienated the very clients he relied upon to bring his architecture to life. A recent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art reminded visitors of strands of racism and misogyny in his work. Wright and his last wife, Olgivanna, exerted domineering control over apprentices, even dictating who married whom.<\/p>\n<p>But all the focus on Wright\u2019s sensational biography \u2014 whether it elevates him to pop icon status or hoists him overboard as a monstrous egomaniac \u2014 avoids the serious question: beyond the hype, what is Wright\u2019s legacy? That brings us back to New York.<\/p>\n<p>Although Wright wanted to portray himself as unique and self-created, he was part of a long tradition of seekers that continues today, artists of every stripe, in all media, who recoil at the terrors of New York while seeking to know it, to celebrate it, and to use it to find out who they are. A series of prominent American writers saw New York as a \u201cterrible town\u201d (Washington Irving) with skyscrapers that erupted in a \u201cfrenzied dance\u201d (Henry James). For Henry Adams, New York had an \u201cair and movement of hysteria.\u201d Hart Crane, the poet, wrote Alfred Stieglitz in 1923 that \u201cthe city is a place of \u2018brokenness,\u2019 of drama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interwoven into these complaints was an acknowledgment that New York spurred creativity and transformed artists. Herman Melville badmouthed New York at length. But during his first stay there, from 1847 to 1851, the city\u2019s vibrancy and burgeoning publishing industry turned him from an unknown into a great popular success. Not only was Melville\u2019s career transformed but, according to his biographer, the \u201cpulse\u201d of his energy increased. Melville remained tethered to the city and its publishers for the rest of his life, and he died there.<\/p>\n<p>Wright had a similar response to New York: repulsion and irresistible attraction. He first visited the city in 1909 anonymously but his most transformative experience there began in the mid 1920s when, fleeing his estranged wife, Miriam, he took refuge with his lover, Olgivanna Hinzenberg, and their infant in Hollis, Queens, in 1925. A year later he returned. This time he went to Greenwich Village, home of his sister Maginel, a successful illustrator.<a name=\"chagall\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h2>Chagall, Modigliani, Soutine\u2026 Paris as a School, 1905-1940<b><i><\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<h6><i>Starting April 2nd, the <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001FVNQ3rfKyeftfvrtgS-XUva9A2JNZgYrgpK1txSaJ6ud4EKrcvyH2wnjpgIXH4MbWhmyr9fugx0eSnkz1O9_nNsATfyQ1F4x6W6dlx1VX3ZAlX_7puF_Gel60_LWNOf7h9o519e9rRzGl2487paJRqhZ7ng4M5nHngkB1EzdC7pvguGo-dHesx0T9boA7NlKx1FG8Q7SmP0kjlf0IbZ4iFTyya78yqoX1KjNTfTQXfBXt6VhyXInng==&amp;c=wLUjKLd_nAa5_8Sg4_G8EI9gcUVzFdm6kKJQkKUnO1fx_z6FntT5MA==&amp;ch=nApDm0FKCdrc79myZCVvmJWqxWS-eZ2PpgXs6L4pv6XSOD9xvxF9Bw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>mahJ in Paris<\/i><\/a><i> will launch an exhibition of 130 works by artists such as Chagall, Soutine and Modigliani, who were part of the &#8220;School of Paris&#8221; artistic period in the early 1900s.<\/i><\/h6>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15810\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15810\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15810\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Yellow-Room.jpg\" alt=\"Marc Chagall's 'The Yellow Room'\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Yellow-Room.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Yellow-Room-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Yellow-Room-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Yellow-Room-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">An example of modernity in early Marc Chagall painting.<\/span> Photo courtesy Pinterest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many of these men and women were Jewish artists who came from the major European cities and the Russian Empire in search of artistic, social and religious emancipation.

A spare, acoustic arrangement, Cash&#8217;s version finds him speak-singing the lyrics, infusing them with a vitriol Bono could never muster. The line &#8220;did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth?&#8221; is downright indignant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Johnny 99\u2019 (Bruce Springsteen)<\/strong><br \/>\nCash didn&#8217;t just record this Bruce Springsteen <em>Nebraska<\/em> lament, he titled an entire album after the song in 1983 \u2014\u00a0just a year after Springsteen released it himself. In Cash&#8217;s hands, it&#8217;s more of a rockabilly saloon anthem, but the message of a man-turned-inmate is no less tragic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018No Expectations\u2019 (The Rolling Stones)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Stones country-tinged ballad was ironically made less so by Cash, who sped it up and added a touch of bluegrass and Spanish flair. Released 10 years after Mick and Keith put it out on <em>Beggars Banquet<\/em>, Cash made the song a centerpiece of his 1978 <em>Gone Girl<\/em> album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Redemption Song\u2019 (Bob Marley)<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/bob-marley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marley<\/a>\u00a0summoned Jah with this acoustic prayer, but Cash called upon Joe \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/joe-strummer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joe Strummer<\/a>\u00a0of the Clash. Together, the two icons of their respective genres joined voices in one of the most unexpected \u2014 and until the release of 2003&#8217;s <em>Unearthed<\/em> box set, unheard \u2014 duets of Cash&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018I Won\u2019t Back Down\u2019 (Tom Petty)<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/tom-petty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Petty<\/a>\u00a0and the Heartbreakers served as Cash&#8217;s band for his 1996 <em>Unchained<\/em> album, but this take on Petty&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-album-reviews\/full-moon-fever-248625\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Full Moon Fever<\/em><\/a> track appeared not on that LP, but 2000&#8217;s <em>American III: Solitary Man<\/em>. Still, Petty appears here to harmonize with Cash, who after battling illness, imbues the song with added defiance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Rusty Cage\u2019 (Soundgarden)<\/strong><br \/>\nOf all the covers in Cash&#8217;s catalog, this one stands as the biggest head-scratcher. That doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s a misfire, however. Rather, Cash&#8217;s interpretation of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/soundgarden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soundgarden<\/a>\u00a0howler is a brilliant bit of Southern gothic. The moodiness is palpable, like a muggy night on the Delta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018I\u2019m on Fire\u2019 (Bruce Springsteen)<\/strong><br \/>\nCash cut this <em>Born in the U.S.A.<\/em> single for a 2000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/bruce-springsteen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Springsteen<\/a>\u00a0tribute album, humming and growling through the ballad like a restless troubadour, hankering for his journey to end for the night. Springsteen&#8217;s music clearly resonated with Cash, who used &#8220;Highway Patrolman&#8221; to open his <em>Johnny 99<\/em> album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Have You Ever Seen the Rain\u2019 (Creedence Clearwater Revival)<\/strong><br \/>\nFull of Eighties production touches \u2014 call and response vocals, metallic-sounding keyboards \u2014 this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/creedence-clearwater-revival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CCR<\/a>\u00a0cover, and the album on which it appears, 1985\u2019s <em>Rainbow<\/em>, stand as testament to Cash\u2019s fallow period. But that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s not one heckuva listen \u2014\u00a0if only for the deliciously out-of-place echo effect on Cash\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Redemption Day\u2019 (Sheryl Crow)<\/strong><br \/>\nCash and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/artist\/sheryl-crow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sheryl Crow<\/a>\u00a0had a close relationship in his later years, and Crow often recalls a phone call from the ailing artist about him cutting this song. Released on the posthumous <em>American VI: Ain&#8217;t No Grave<\/em>, &#8220;Redemption Day,&#8221; recorded in the months leading up to his death, is the sound of a man coming to terms with his impending exit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down\u2019 (The Band)<\/strong><br \/>\nIn 1975, the Man in Black released <em>John R.

Cash&#8217;s version is more uptempo, almost upbeat, with hints of Dixieland Jazz.

Perhaps most importantly, they spoke about how to fly with a degree of civility that\u2019s sorely lacking in society these days.<\/p>\n<h4>Flight Attendants\u2019 Best Tips for Better Flights<\/h4>\n<p>Simply put, manners matter. \u201cPeople who actually speak to me when I ask them what they\u2019d like to drink is beginning to become a thing of the past,\u201d says Heather Poole, who has worked for a major U.S. carrier for 20 years and who wrote a bestseller called <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UJOD3i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Cruising Attitude: Tales of Crashpads, Crew Drama, Crazy Passengers at 35,000 Feet<\/em><\/a>. So when a passenger says please and thank you to me, I want to give them more water and extra snacks. If I see a passenger helping another passenger with luggage, I instantly think, \u2018What a catch!\u2019 and want to set them up with single friends because nice people are hard to find. Honestly, it\u2019s the little things that make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer \u201cJaki\u201d Johnson has been a flight attendant for six years and is the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jetsetterchic.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jetsetter\u00a0Chic<\/a>, a travel-lifestyle subscription box company. Her preboarding advice to set the tone for a better flight? Check in early, watch to make sure your gate doesn\u2019t change, eat a healthy snack or meal at the gate, use the restroom at the airport rather than waiting until you\u2019re on the plane, and smile at your flight attendants when boarding.<\/p>\n<h4>How Passengers Can Boost Their Chances of an Upgrade<\/h4>\n<p>Many airlines prohibit arbitrarily upgrading passengers who are already on the plane. \u201cThis is a firm rule,\u201d says Coral Lee, who has been a flight attendant and cabin manager for more than a decade and runs a blog for flight attendants called <a href=\"http:\/\/thesegoldwings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">These\u00a0Gold\u00a0Wings<\/a>, \u201calthough you can always try. Ask politely if there are any available seats in business class or premium. You\u2019ve got better chances if you\u2019re dressed nicely, if the flight isn\u2019t full, if you\u2019re traveling solo, and if you board last.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpgrades are a big deal, and people who fly a lot earn frequent flyer miles,\u201d explains Poole. \u201cThose people know exactly where their name is on the upgrade list. If someone cuts in front of them, they\u2019ll flip out. On one of my flights, we were delayed 20 minutes because one frequent flyer was upgraded to business class before another frequent flyer whose name should have been called first. Delays are a big deal in the airline world, so it\u2019s crazy when we take a delay for something like an upgrade. But it happens because nobody cuts the line. You can dress nicely to increase your odds of getting upgraded if there\u2019s nobody on the list. But that list is usually long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that this should be a conversation with a gate agent, not a flight attendant. \u201cOnce you step onto the aircraft, it\u2019s our responsibility to get you where you\u2019re going safely and comfortably,\u201d says Nichole Dunst, a flight attendant and travel blogger who created <a href=\"https:\/\/consciouscityguides.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Conscious\u00a0City\u00a0Guides<\/a>, \u201cbut we\u2019re not responsible for awarding upgrades. The gate agents have their own system for working upgrades, and gone are the days of getting an upgrade just because you\u2019re cute and you brought us Starbucks. If you haven\u2019t been awarded an upgrade before scanning onboard, I\u2019m sorry to say it, but you probably didn\u2019t make the cut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the most straightforward way to get an upgrade on your flight is to buy one. \u201cTraveling is expensive, so you pay for service and quality,\u201d Johnson points out. \u201cYou get what you pay for, so pay for what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Tipping Flight Attendants: Yes or No?<\/h4>\n<p>Flight attendants don\u2019t expect cash tips, in part because they earn above-average wages and because their role of assuring safety is considered more important than their role of providing service.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, most American and European airlines don\u2019t even allow flight attendants to accept tips\u2014except for Frontier, which has recently changed its tipping policy to allow flight attendants to keep gratuities; Frontier passengers are now prompted to add 15, 20, or 25 percent to their credit card charge after ordering a drink or snack. \u201cBut far from helping,\u201d Lee says, \u201cthis has created a big controversy between the flight attendants who are happy with this new policy and the ones who think that this is a strategy to keep wages low and be treated like servants and not like someone who might save you in an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever,\u201d Dunst advises, \u201cwe do love getting tipped in snacks, and that happens pretty frequently. If you\u2019re headed to duty-free before your flight, picking up a bag of candy for your flight crew is a great way to make friends with us.\u201d Another way to thank a flight attendant for a job well done? Write a letter to the airline that mentions the flight attendant\u2019s name and outstanding service.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15814\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Airline-Seats.jpg\" alt=\"airline interior\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Airline-Seats.jpg 800w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Airline-Seats-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Airline-Seats-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Airline-Seats-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>How Do Flight Attendants Deal with Jet Lag?<\/h4>\n<p>Flight attendants know better than almost anyone how to deal with jet lag: They drink plenty of water before and during the flight. They nap before and after long, time-zone-crossing flights. They avoid alcohol; many rely on melatonin instead if they need help falling asleep. And they try to adapt to their new time zone as quickly as possible. \u201cDon\u2019t even think about what time it is back home,\u201d advises Dunst.<\/p>\n<h4>The Craziest Things Flight Attendants See on the Job<\/h4>\n<p>Flight attendants see some truly wacky \u2014 and disturbing \u2014 behaviors. \u201cThe list is never-ending,\u201d says Poole. \u201cJust when I think I\u2019ve seen it all, something else bizarre will happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who don\u2019t work for an airline seem to be most amused by naked passenger stories,\u201d she goes on. \u201cFor me, the weirdest stories involve passengers stealing a coworker\u2019s uniform blazer or chicken strips off a flight attendant\u2019s salad. My coworker found his blazer standing in line at security, and the chicken strips were found clutched in the fist of a passenger sitting in the exit row.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy tolerance for crazy has certainly elevated over the years,\u201d Dunst agrees, \u201cand I have to remind myself that we see people in their most stressed-out state.\u201d Dunst once had a passenger get so enraged with the flight crew for refusing to serve her alcohol during the airplane\u2019s initial ascent \u2014 when the seat belt sign was still on \u2014 that she spent the next five hours harassing the flight attendants, taking pictures of and tweeting about them. \u201cI don\u2019t think this particular woman was in her right mind,\u201d Dunst recalls, \u201cand that can be a little scary when you\u2019re at 30,000 feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Lee, she cites medical emergencies \u2014 people fainting or having seizures \u2014 as well as people clipping their toenails in their seats or getting furious when they get caught smoking in the lavatory instead of being sorry. Also: an adult woman urinating on the floor after being told she couldn\u2019t use the restroom.<\/p>\n<h4>How to Keep from Getting Sick on a Plane<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/avoiding-airplane-cold-dont-get-sick-flying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Getting\u00a0sick\u00a0on\u00a0airplanes<\/a> can be par for the course when you\u2019re a frequent flyer. This is partly because of all that circulated air, and also because being on a flight means being in close proximity to dozens of people \u2014 and their germs \u2014 for an extended period.<\/p>\n<p>But getting sick on your next flight doesn\u2019t have to be a foregone conclusion. To protect yourself from getting sick on a plane, follow flight attendants\u2019 advice: Bring <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37i4M2t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sanitizing\u00a0wipes<\/a> and use them to wipe down your seat, tray table (Poole sees parents change babies\u2019 diapers on them), entertainment screen, and remote control. Also: Drink water. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2vrqX9n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">immune-boosting\u00a0vitamins<\/a>. Don\u2019t touch your face, and don\u2019t request drinks while the crew is picking up trash \u2014 their hands are now germy. Shower as soon as you get where you\u2019re going, or at least change your clothes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething I wish was more mainstream in the U.S.,\u201d Dunst says, \u201care <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31Oezw1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mouth\u00a0masks<\/a> like you typically see in Asian cultures. If you\u2019re sick, it\u2019s just a basic courtesy to prevent everyone around you from getting sick as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for airplane lavatories, they\u2019re practically petri dishes and, like the tray tables, they don\u2019t always get thoroughly cleaned. So don\u2019t touch much in there \u2014 use a paper towel to open and shut the lid, to flush, and to use the door handle. Never sit directly on the toilet seat, never go in there barefoot or with just socks on, and always wash your hands well with soap.<\/p>\n<h4>What Passengers Should Bring Onboard<\/h4>\n<p>The flight attendants we interviewed recommend a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2vw8pVd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">light\u00a0blanket<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31Vfz1G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">neck\u00a0pillow<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38krIPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eye\u00a0mask<\/a> (if you\u2019re hoping to sleep), <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2SlOgu8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earplugs<\/a>, socks \u2014 and a good book, since it\u2019s not uncommon for the in-flight screens or Wi-Fi to be out of order.<\/p>\n<h4>What Flight Attendants Want Passengers to Know<\/h4>\n<p>It irks flight attendants when passengers assume that they don\u2019t have college degrees and that their previous careers were as bartenders. \u201cMy background is in radio and I hold a master\u2019s degree from an Ivy League institution,\u201d Johnson says. \u201cOther flight attendants have been lawyers, medical students, real estate agents, and so much more. We want passengers to know that we are more than our uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flight attendants also want passengers to know that the flight crew doesn\u2019t get paid on the ground. \u201cSo that flight attendant greeting you at the boarding door? Not being paid,\u201d says Poole. \u201cDelays? Not being paid. We aren\u2019t paid until the boarding door is closed and the brakes are released.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This means that delays and cancellations can affect flight attendants dearly \u2014 not only are they not paid when flights are canceled or when they\u2019re waiting for a delay to lift, but, as Poole puts it, \u201cWhen flight schedules get screwed up, we have to make arrangements for children or family and we miss things we were excited to do. I\u2019ve had passengers yell at me, \u2018I haven\u2019t seen my baby in three days!\u2019 A lot of flight crew have babies too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Travelers should keep in mind that flight attendants aren\u2019t getting paid during the boarding process, which is a flight\u2019s most hectic time. During boarding, Poole says, \u201cWe have a lot to do with very little help, so we might seem a little snippy or rude but really, we\u2019re stressing out to get things done so that a delay can\u2019t get pinned on us. The problem is that boarding sets the tone, so then when we have time to relax and smile and be nice, the perfect flight attendant, passengers don\u2019t notice because they\u2019re mad that we took their bag to check it or that we didn\u2019t answer their question or we didn\u2019t allow them to use the bathroom or that they weren\u2019t catered to. Nobody wonders why. They just think we\u2019re rude and then they go and tweet about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dunst raises another point that airplane passengers don\u2019t always seem to realize: \u201cThere\u2019s a reason we ask you to keep your seat belts fastened whenever you\u2019re in your seats. Turbulence can come out of nowhere, and you can never be too safe. That being said, the same goes for us. If the captain has asked us to take our jump seats for our safety, then no, we cannot get up to pour you a ginger ale. Unfortunately, getting injured on the job is almost inevitable. All it takes is one air pocket to jolt us around. We of course want to take care of you as best we can, but safety truly does come first \u2014 not your third gin and tonic.\u201d<a name=\"trumpvirus\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h2>Trump Rips Coronavirus Coverage<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em>By <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/author\/brett-samuels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brett Samuels<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/people\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">President Trump<\/a> said in an early morning tweet,\u00a0 that he blamed the media and Democrats for overstating the danger of the Caronavirus, even as health experts have warned of its spread.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u00a0accused MSNBC and CNN of &#8220;doing everything possible to make the\u00a0Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He insisted the U.S. is &#8220;in great shape&#8221; in its handling of the disease. The president&#8217;s tweets\u00a0 mainly underscore on how the deadly disease is affecting financial markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 2,000 points over the last two days. Trump is <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/healthcare\/484597-lawmakers-raise-alarms-over-trump-coronavirus-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facing mounting pressure<\/a> over his handling of the coronavirus from lawmakers and health officials, who warned on Tuesday that\u00a0the country\u00a0should prepare for an outbreak of cases in the U.S. \u201cIt\u2019s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,\u201d Nancy Messonnier, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters. \u201cDisruption to everyday life might be severe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are 57 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., including in 40 Americans who were repatriated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship.Republicans and Democrats alike have signaled the government response has thus far been insufficient to prepare for the spread of the\u00a0coronavirus in the U.S. The Trump administration requested $2.5 billion in additional funding to combat the disease, a figure some lawmakers viewed as inadequate.But Trump and other administration officials have sought to downplay the severity of the disease within U.S. borders.

It\u2019s important to know what travel documents may be required before you go, however. Each country in Europe has different passport requirements to enter, but all require a valid U.S. passport when arriving from an international destination. Europe passport requirements allow that once you arrive, you can travel between certain countries without a passport, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/passports\/en\/go\/schengen-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schengen\u00a0Agreement<\/a>, but you will need a passport to cross borders into those that are not part of the Schengen area and when you return home.<\/p>\n<h4>How to Get a Passport Book for Travel to Europe<\/h4>\n<p>A good rule of thumb when visiting most European destinations is to carry a U.S. passport that has at least one blank page for an entry stamp and is valid for at least six months beyond your departure date. Be sure to check for any other <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/international-travel\/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">requirements\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0country<\/a> you are visiting as soon as you book your tickets.<\/p>\n<p>Europe\u2019s passport requirements vary for each of its 50 countries. Each country enforces its own mandatory rules for entering. All of them, however, require a passport for those traveling from an international destination, so it\u2019s wise to make sure you obtain a passport as far in advance as possible before you travel. Most European passport requirements dictate at least one blank page for an entry stamp and a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond your departure date.<\/p>\n<p>As for traveling within Europe, some countries require a passport to cross borders, but 26 countries are a party to the Schengen\u00a0Agreement, which means you do not need a passport to travel between these countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. There are three islands that are also part of the Schengen Zone, even though their borders are outside of the continent: The Azores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n<p>Apply for a passport as soon as your travel to Europe is confirmed. The cost will be greater if you apply for a passport within three weeks of travel time and need an expedited application. You can learn more about the requirements and documents needed to obtain a U.S. passport <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.gov\/passport#item-34912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a valid passport book, make sure it is valid for at least six months after your departure date and has at least one blank page for an entry stamp. If not, apply for a renewal passport at least three weeks before travel or pay a higher fee for an expedited passport.<\/p>\n<h4>So, Do I Need a Passport to Visit Europe?<\/h4>\n<p>In summary: Yes. Europe passport requirements state that a valid U.S. passport is necessary to enter any of its 50 countries. Once you arrive in Europe, you can travel between certain countries without a passport, but you will need a passport when departing. Most European passport requirements dictate a passport that is valid for at least six months after departure date and has at least one blank page for an entry stamp.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>More Information When Visiting Europe<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/international-travel\/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S.\u00a0Department\u00a0of\u00a0State<\/a> provides detailed information, including travel advisories and passport validity requirements, to your destination country.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/visiteurope.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European\u00a0Travel\u00a0Commission<\/a> offers insightful tips on places to eat, play, and stay within Europe\u2019s diverse countries and regions.<a name=\"hotelmaid\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h2>Does the Hotel Maid Look Through Your Stuff?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Courtesy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/author\/caroline_costello\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caroline\u00a0Costello<\/a>, SmarterTravel: <a href=\"mailto:ca***************@***********el.com\" data-original-string=\"iVJke9AdILLmZS9WYlff8g==8d41gsvN1Oghd1RboMJnBZ3tB23hXfqrDLrtXBw2m5M1tNRUcr+HiHyhL7mFuvE2N8+\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.

Sometimes those people are hotel housekeepers, as was indicated in a hidden-camera video that went viral a few years ago. A clip filmed at a \u201cwell-known American hotel brand\u201d revealed a hotel maid messing with a guest\u2019s belongings. The housekeeper picked up the man\u2019s tablet and attempted to use his computer a few times. Nothing was stolen.<\/p>\n<p>Although no crime was committed, the idea of a stranger examining one\u2019s personal possessions is unsettling. The video leads me to wonder if my suitcase was ever inspected, my toiletry bag peeked at, or my tablet tampered with. Ideally, no one should rifle through a guest\u2019s belongings. But maybe it happens. And if it does, should we really be worried? Is snooping a legitimate concern for travelers?<\/p>\n<p>I asked Jacob Tomsky, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32c0FE5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Heads\u00a0in\u00a0Beds:\u00a0A\u00a0Reckless\u00a0Memoir\u00a0of\u00a0Hotels,\u00a0Hustles,\u00a0and\u00a0So-Called\u00a0Hospitality<\/a>, if nosy housekeepers are a thing. Tomsky told me, \u201cWell, in any business it\u2019s possible to unwittingly hire criminal-minded employees. So that can happen anywhere at any job. However, in my 10 years of experience, I\u2019ve found housekeepers to be family-oriented and dedicated to the job. And part of that job is respecting guests\u2019 belongings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though housekeepers are likely to be alone in a room with your stuff, Tomsky suggested we shouldn\u2019t be so quick to point fingers. He said, \u201cThe housekeepers I know are proud to have a decent paying job with health care and wouldn\u2019t risk losing that for petty thievery. Plus they <em>know<\/em> they are first in line for accusations. That\u2019s why, when things go missing in a hotel, I always look outside of housekeeping. A lot of employees have keys to your room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The blame game is pointless. And there\u2019s nothing you can do to prevent a housekeeper from opening the closet door and snickering at your poor taste in outerwear. But there are proactive steps you can take to protect your privacy and keep your stuff safe. First, operate under the assumption that your hotel room is not as private as you would like it to be. You are not at home. In any hotel, vacation rental, B&amp;B, or what have you, there is always a chance that theft could take place.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tomsky, \u201cI can\u2019t recommend utilizing the in-room safe enough, obviously. If you put in a lock code and forget that code, it\u2019s none other than a manager of security who has the ability to reset the lock. So anything in there is touched by you alone. Use it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomsky also recommended keeping your belongings well organized during your stay: \u201cCut down on the clutter. To make a room look clean, housekeepers have to move some items around, especially if your items are splayed out everywhere. And I\u2019d say a great deal of suspected \u2018theft\u2019 is actually just loss. You leave important items all over the place and it\u2019s absolutely possible those items will get bunched up with the linens and tossed down the chute into the laundry. I\u2019ve been in the pit, looking for lost items. Only once did I find what we were looking for. Use the safe. And keep it neat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you really want to calm your paranoid worries, leave the \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d sign on your door for the duration of your stay; this way, your room won\u2019t get cleaned and you can feel confident that no one touched your unmentionables or flipped through your dream journal.<a name=\"inaction\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h2>The Humongous Costs of Inaction<\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small;\">By Robert Reich, Former U.S Secretary of Labor<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In last night\u2019s Democratic debate, former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg charged that Senator Bernie Sanders\u2019 policy proposals would cost $50 trillion. Holy Indiana. Larry Summers, formerly chief White House economic advisor for Barack Obama, puts the price tag at $60 trillion. \u201cWe are in a kind of new era of radical proposal,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.umblr.com\/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fm.cnn.com%2Fen%2Farticle%2Fh_cab5b9d565a50185a2d9f9e2aff0e98a&amp;t=NmUyMmQ0MDg2MDY4MDMyODM3ZWUyYWY3MTEzY2JhOGFiYTcyNGExYSxnNExGd1JJZg%3D%3D&amp;b=t%3AhQ9Ds4P3Iv6D7mgEr8WMqg&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Frobertreich.org%2Fpost%2F610881487293874176&amp;m=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told CNN<\/a>. Putting aside the accuracy of these cost estimates, they omit the other side of the equation: what, by comparison, is the cost of doing nothing?<\/p>\n<p>A Green New Deal\u00a0might be expensive, but doing nothing about climate change will almost certainly cost far more. If we don\u2019t launch something as bold as a Green New Deal, we\u2019ll spend trillions coping with the consequences of our failure to be bold.<\/p>\n<p>Medicare for All will cost a lot, but the price of doing nothing about America\u2019s increasingly dysfunctional healthcare system will soon be in the stratosphere. A new study in The Lancet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.umblr.com\/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelancet.com%2Fjournals%2Flancet%2Farticle%2FPIIS0140-6736%2819%2933019-3%2Ffulltext&amp;t=MGI1ODJmY2FiNjE2MjgzYjBlMWJiODNlNmYxZDgzNTYxN2RhMDY3YyxnNExGd1JJZg%3D%3D&amp;b=t%3AhQ9Ds4P3Iv6D7mgEr8WMqg&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Frobertreich.org%2Fpost%2F610881487293874176&amp;m=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">estimates<\/a>\u00a0that Medicare for All would save $450 billion and prevent 68,000 unnecessary deaths each year.<\/p>\n<p>Investing in universal childcare, public higher education and woefully outdated and dilapidated infrastructure will be expensive too, but the cost of not making these investments would be astronomical. American productivity is already suffering and millions of families can\u2019t afford decent childcare, college or housing \u2013 whose soaring costs are closely related to inadequate transportation and water systems.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing only on the costs of doing something about these problems without mentioning the costs of doing nothing is misleading, but this asymmetry is widespread.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists wanting to appear serious about public policy continue to rip into Sanders and Elizabeth Warren (whose policies are almost as ambitious) for the costs of their proposals but never ask self-styled moderates like Buttigieg how they plan to cope with the costs of doing nothing or too little.<\/p>\n<p>A related criticism of Sanders and Warren is that they haven\u2019t come up with ways to pay for their proposals. Sanders \u201conly explained $25 trillion worth of revenue, which means the hole in there is bigger than the size of the entire economy of the United States,\u201d charged Mayor Pete.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders\u2019 and Warren\u2019s wealth tax would go a long way toward paying for their plans.<\/p>\n<p>But even if their wealth tax paid a small fraction of the costs of their proposals, so what? As long as every additional dollar of spending reduces by more than a dollar the future costs of climate change, inadequate healthcare and insufficient public investment, it makes sense to spend more.<\/p>\n<p>Republican administrations have doled out gigantic tax cuts to big corporations and the wealthy without announcing specific cuts in public spending or other tax increases because \u2013 despite decades of evidence to the contrary \u2013 they claim the cuts will generate economic growth that will more than make up for any lost revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Yet when Warren and Sanders propose ambitious plans for reducing empirically verifiable costs of large and growing public problems, they are skewered by fellow Democrats and the press for not having ways to pay for them.<\/p>\n<p>A third line of criticism is that Sanders\u2019 and Warren\u2019s proposals are just too big. It would be safer to move cautiously and incrementally.<\/p>\n<p>This argument might be convincing if the problems Sanders and Warren address were growing slowly. But experts on the environment, health, education and infrastructure are nearly unanimous: these problems are worsening exponentially.<\/p>\n<p>Young people understand this, perhaps because they will bear more of the costs of inaction. An Emerson poll of Iowa found that 44% of Democrats under 50 support Sanders and 10% favor Warren. In New Hampshire, Sanders won more voters under 30 than the other candidates combined, according to CNN exit polls. In Nevada, he captured an astonishing 65 percent of voters under 30.<\/p>\n<p>The reason to support Sanders\u2019 and Warren\u2019s proposals isn\u2019t because they inspire and mobilize voters. It is because they are necessary.<\/p>\n<p>We can no longer pretend that climate change, a wildly dysfunctional healthcare system and a yawning deficit in public investment pose insignificant challenges. Doing nothing or doing too little will make them far worse.<a name=\"abc\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h2>ABC News Suspends Correspondent David Wright After Comments About Trump Coverage, Socialism, in Project Veritas Sting<\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Courtesy <a href=\"mailto:pa********@******st.com\" data-original-string=\"s6oZr6ABy1oq7CP\/YWb0xg==8d4xNAJhV9UpIvVzkaN6w2dInB85oG43suveHq6p6nsWf4=\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SZG1v5EcwUI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">choppy, poorly shot video, released Wednesday morning by Project Veritas<\/a>, captured Wright on what appeared to be a hidden camera, seeming to complain in general terms about political coverage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re terribly interested in voters,\u201d he said, echoing gripes about the superficiality of some aspects of White House and campaign coverage that have been raised by journalists for decades. Also: \u201cCommercial imperative is incompatible with news.\u201d At one point he says, \u201cWe don\u2019t hold him to account. We also don\u2019t give him credit for what things he does do.\u201d In subtitles, Project Veritas indicated that \u201chim\u201d stood for President Trump. He refers to Trump at another point as \u201cthe f&#8212;&#8212; president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But ABC likely was also alarmed at Wright\u2019s criticism of ABC News, which is owned by the Disney Co. At another point, he raises another longstanding critique of ABC News \u2014 that it blends news with promotion of Disney-owned movies and TV programs. \u201cLike now you can\u2019t watch Good Morning America without there being a Disney princess or a Marvel Avenger appearing,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s all self-promotional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement Wednesday, ABC News said, \u201cAny action that damages our reputation for fairness and impartiality or gives the appearance of compromising it harms ABC News and the individuals involved. David Wright has been suspended, and to avoid any possible appearance of bias, he will be reassigned away from political coverage when he returns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the video, which the group said was taken while Wright covered the New Hampshire primary, a voice asks the reporter if he considers himself \u201ca Democratic socialist,\u201d and Wright seems to reply, \u201cmore than that, I consider myself a socialist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wright didn\u2019t respond to several requests for comment Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Project Veritas\u2019s founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/James_O%27Keefe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James O\u2019Keefe,<\/a> teased the release of the video on Twitter on Tuesday with the hashtag #ExposeABC. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesOKeefeIII\/status\/1232368668782272522?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">He tweeted<\/a> that his group \u201cwill expose ABC News\u2019 agenda to mislead voters and push their own narratives\u201d and said in response to the upcoming release that ABC News had suspended \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesOKeefeIII\/status\/1232489947594141697?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the correspondent involved.<\/a>\u201d He didn\u2019t identify Wright or provide details.<\/p>\n<p>Wright, 56, is one of ABC\u2019s most seasoned and versatile correspondents, having joined the network nearly 20 years ago. He has covered the White House and was \u201cNightline\u2019s\u201d lead political reporter during the 2016 presidential campaign. He has also periodically reported from the Middle East and Europe, including covering the Notre Dame cathedral fire in Paris last year. He shared a 2004 Emmy Award for his reporting from Iraq and shared a Peabody Award for reporting in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Project Veritas conducts undercover \u201cstings\u201d of journalists and others it considers allied with liberal causes or organizations. Its operatives often befriend the organization\u2019s targets using aliases and lull them into casual conversations in bars or restaurants that are then surreptitiously recorded. The videos are edited and released publicly in an effort to show what O\u2019Keefe calls liberal bias or allegedly corrupt practices.<\/p>\n<p>Although O\u2019Keefe has defended the organization\u2019s methods as journalistically sound, mainstream news organizations have largely abandoned the practice of infiltrating businesses or organizations to record video without a subject\u2019s knowledge or consent. News organizations generally consider the practice deceptive, and doing so can subject them to criminal trespass penalties.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Keefe\u2019s group has targeted media organizations such as CNN, NPR and the New York Times, as well as Democratic political operatives.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/investigations\/womans-effort-to-infiltrate-the-washington-post-dates-back-months\/2017\/11\/29\/ce95e01a-d51e-11e7-b62d-d9345ced896d_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">target of a Project Veritas sting<\/a> in 2017 when a woman, later identified as Jaime Phillips, approached a Post reporter with allegedly damaging information about Roy Moore, then a Senate candidate in Alabama. The Post discovered the woman\u2019s apparent affiliation with Project Veritas and that her story was a hoax. The Post recorded video as she attempted to plant the false story.<\/p>\n<p>ABC, coincidentally, was involved in perhaps the most famous case involving undercover video. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcfp.org\/journals\/news-media-and-law-spring-2012\/landmark-food-lion-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food Lion supermarket chain sued<\/a> ABC in 1996 after it aired a segment about unsanitary practices at the stores on \u201cPrimeTime Live.\u201d To get footage for the story, two ABC News producers obtained jobs at Food Lion stores using false references and altered work histories. An appeals court eventually rejected Food Lion\u2019s fraud claims but upheld a jury\u2019s $2 award for breach of loyalty and trespass.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story, originally published early Wednesday, has been updated with details of the Project Veritas video and comment from ABC News. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Guggenheim Museum in New York City is architecture as sculpture \u2014 a smooth, creamy-colored, curved form that deliberately defies its square, gray urban context, and succeeds by harnessing the pure abstraction of modernism to the archaic form of the spiral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[240],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-fun-stuff"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
