MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough received a pet rabbit from his co-host and fiancée Mika Brzezinski, and the two decided to name it Donald Fluffy Trump. A New York Magazine profile of the cable news hosts, who have famously feuded with President Trump, recounts the story of Scarborough’s birthday gift, which ultimately ended up living with Brzezinski because it kept scratching her "Morning Joe" co-host.  While Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, says he used to exchange pho

The writer is a culture reporter at the Times. I never told my Bengali parents about my first kiss. I was 14 and we were in the basement of my house in Howell, N.J.

Companies and universities are racing to develop these new therapies, which re-engineer and turbocharge millions of a patient’s own immune cells, turning them into cancer killers that researchers call a “living drug.” One of the big goals now is to get them to work for many other cancers, including those of the breast, prostate, ovary, lung and pancreas. “This has been utterly transformative in blood cancers,” said Dr.

I’ve been eating a high-fat, carb-restricted diet for almost 20 years, since I started as an experiment when investigating nutrition research for the journal Science.
