Congo's new Ebola outbreak: What to know Congo's authorities have announced a new Ebola outbreak that has killed more than a dozen people in a southern province. Samples analyzed at the National Institute for Biomedical Research in Kinshasa confirmed the presence of the most virulent strain of the virus, known as "Zaire."

Donald Trump, Architecture Critic - The New Yorker (No paywall) News of Donald Trump’s recent executive order concerning architecture, and particularly about preserving and protecting hallowed traditional styles, will have come as a surprise to anyone who recalls that one of his first appearances in the architectural realm occurred while tearing down an Art Deco treasure, the old Bonwit Teller building, and replacing it with a shiny glass tower meant for the residence of the very rich in a midtown New York non-neighborhood—an early instance of the now popular (and trendy) building type, the Oligarch’s Erection. Nonetheless, the Trump Administration, having now remade American medicine and remedied our higher education, is hard at work reforming our buildings, with memos on movie editing and how to write short stories doubtless on the way.
