The Most Embarrassing Moment in Oscars History

Plus: Monica Lewinsky says #MeToo, the return of Brendan Fraser, and why the world's biggest lakes are disappearing.

Five stories to read this weekend, chosen by our editors.

Remembering Envelopegate

The two minutes and 23 seconds during which 'La La Land' mistakenly won Best Picture was one of the most embarrassing moments in Oscars history. One year later those onstage and off for "envelopegate" talk about how the chaos unfolded behind the scenes.

Monica Lewinsky Says #MeToo

"I'm not alone anymore," says the onetime White House intern whose presidential affair roiled what now seems like a different country. She describes the relationship as a "gross abuse of power," praises the #MeToo movement, and details a run-in with prosecutor Kenneth Starr.

Why the World's Biggest Lakes Are Drying Up

A Bolivian lake the size of Rhode Island evaporated in thirty years. The waters of Lake Urmia, once the Middle East's largest saltwater basin, are blooming with toxic bacteria. Can we afford to lose another drop?

What Ever Happened To Brendan Fraser?

There was a time, in the '90s, when Fraser was the star of a hit movie nearly every year. Then, he all but fell off the map. This is the story of what happened — including a sexual harassment allegation that sent him reeling (he was the victim) — and his hopes for a comeback.

Opioids and the Escape from Modern Life

Perhaps the poison we pick says more than we think. Writer Andrew Sullivan sees a sinister link between the country's economic insecurities, our spiritual devastation, and the pursuit of life-threatening gratification.
