A reader is concerned that a new beau’s frequent references to jumping ship in past relationships may be laying the groundwork for him to do it with her.I have been dating a new guy, 40, for four months. So far, we really like each other. Not infrequently, though, he drops little warnings about his behavior in past relationships: He acknowledges a pattern of dropping women after he gets them to like him, for instance, and ending relationships because he feels trapped. His own father asked him if he had “messed up” our relationship yet. On the one hand, I’m glad we’re able to have these conversations, but on the other, I’m worried about moving forward with someone who has these patterns of behavior. Help!ANXIOUS GIRLFRIENDHard truth: Just because your boyfriend owns up to his bad behavior in prior relationships doesn’t mean he is going to do any better with you. It is infinitely easier to identify patterns of crummy behavior than it is to change them. He may simply be insulating himself against your anger when he eventually pulls the same stunts with you. (“I told you what I’m like!”)Still, there is no reason to conduct your love life based on my hunches. The next time your boyfriend refers to his history of falling short with women, ask him directly: “So, what’s your plan for a different outcome with me?” If he has one, be all ears! In my 30s, I worked really hard with a therapist to stop sabotaging my romantic relationships. Your boyfriend may be working on his issues, too.But if he is simply repeating the same old moves, there isn’t much reason to hope for a better result here. In your position, I would talk to him about this, not wait around anxiously. Part of your job in a relationship is to look out for yourself, and this guy clearly has some remedial work to do before he is relationship-ready. You may as well ask him if he’s doing it.Miguel PorlanKeeping Travel Headaches in PerspectiveMy friend and I are scheduled to leave in two weeks for a vacation in Asia. We booked it with a company that plans adventure travel for small groups. I’ve gone on many trips with them, on my own and with friends, and I’ve enjoyed them. The problem: My friend’s father died three weeks ago. I’ve texted her and sent a condolence card, but I haven’t heard back. I’m worried that she may not want to go on this trip, and while I want to give her space, I need to know. Full disclosure: She canceled on me at the last minute before a trip 10 years ago. So, I’m feeling especially annoyed that I deferred to her on issues like leaving from an inconvenient airport, and travel dates.

Members of Donald J. Trump’s campaign team and an official at Arlington National Cemetery confronted each other during the former president’s visit to the cemetery on Monday, the military cemetery said in a statement on Tuesday.The altercation was prompted, according to Trump campaign officials, by the presence of a photographer in a section of the cemetery where American troops who were killed in recent wars are buried. The cemetery released a statement saying that federal law prohibits political campaigning or “election-related” activities within Army cemeteries, including by photographers.An official with the cemetery tried to “physically block” members of Mr. Trump’s team, Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, said in a statement. Mr. Cheung added that the cemetery official was “clearly suffering from a mental health episode” and that the campaign was prepared to release footage of the confrontation to support its account of the clash. The campaign did not provide that footage after several requests.Chris LaCivita, a top Trump campaign adviser, added in a separate statement that the cemetery official was “a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”Cemetery officials did not provide their own account of the encounter, saying instead that “there was an incident, and a report was filed.”The cemetery added that it had “reinforced and widely shared” to the Trump campaign the federal laws prohibiting campaign activities by photographers “or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign.”We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

Jesse Goldberg goes puzzle-hopping.Jump to: Today’s Theme | Tricky CluesWEDNESDAY PUZZLE — Is it wrong to covet someone else’s brain? I’m asking because, after solving today’s crossword, I really wish I had Jesse Goldberg’s. How he managed to craft his grid’s theme is beyond me, even with the inspiration cited in his constructor notes. Maybe I can offer up my brain in exchange for his — I’ll get his brilliance, and he’ll get my disturbingly weird dreams.This is Mr. Goldberg’s fourth puzzle for The New York Times. I’m looking forward to seeing where his enviable imagination takes us next.Today’s ThemeWhen you’re already stumped by the first clue of a crossword puzzle, you know there’s something special in store. At 1-Across, [Chicken par_ _ _ _ _ in fat] seems to be asking us to fill in its blanks. But with what? My first thought was “boiled,” which didn’t fit. Also, I have a feeling that parboiling chicken in fat might be absurd.We get an easier hint at 9-Across: The ending of [Hurdles for doct_ _ _ _ _tudents]. The ending looks as if it should be “students,” and the first part could be “doctoral.” Here’s where the magic happens: If we fill the clue’s missing letters into our entry squares, we get ORALS. And the oral defense of a dissertation can be a hurdle for a doctoral student. Another example, at 65-Across: The missing letters [Pitcher’s positio_ _ _ _ _e lineup, historically] should make this clue read “Pitcher’s position in the lineup, historically.” That position — at least before the introduction of designated hitters — is spelled out by the missing letters: NINTH.That [Chicken part high in fat], by the way, is a THIGH.Between identifying the letters of several words within the clue, writing the letters into an entry as a single word, and then making sure that the entry word actually solves the clue, I think I gave myself whiplash. (And the only prescription is more Crossword.)We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

Los dos han estado discutiendo sobre si los micrófonos serán silenciados cuando un candidato no está hablando durante el debate, que está programado para el 10 de septiembre.[Estamos en WhatsApp. Empieza a seguirnos ahora]Donald Trump anunció por segunda vez que participaría en un debate presidencial con la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris organizado por ABC News e insinuó que se había resuelto el tema de si los micrófonos se silenciarán cuando un candidato no esté hablando.Pero una persona informada sobre la postura de la campaña de Harris dijo que el tema de si los micrófonos serán silenciados —algo que el equipo de Trump favorece y el equipo de Harris no— sigue siendo una discusión abierta. Un portavoz de ABC declinó hacer comentarios.Trump escribió en su red social que las reglas del debate “serán las mismas que en el último debate de CNN, que pareció funcionar bien para todos excepto, quizás”, para el presidente Joe Biden.El debate organizado por CNN, que se celebró en Atlanta el 27 de junio, fue calamitoso para Biden, precipitando su decisión del 21 de julio cuando finalizó su campaña de reelección. Durante ese debate, los micrófonos de los candidatos se silenciaron cuando no estaban hablando, una medida impulsada por el equipo de Biden.En última instancia, los asesores de Trump lo consideraron beneficioso para él, ya que evitó que el expresidente tuviera el tipo de arrebatos frecuentes y dañinos a los que es propenso. En su lugar, la atención se centró en Biden y sus luchas para articular sus pensamientos.Politico informó el lunes que el equipo de Harris y Trump habían llegado a un punto muerto sobre si los micrófonos se silenciarán para el debate del 10 de septiembre, que tendrá lugar en Filadelfia.El equipo de Trump acusó al equipo de Harris de engaño. Sin embargo, el propio Trump, en una comparecencia el lunes en Virginia, dijo que personalmente no le importaba.“No me importa”, dijo. “Creo que preferiría tenerlo encendido. Pero el acuerdo era que sería igual que la última vez”.Ammar Moussa, vocero de Harris, dijo en un comunicado que “ambos candidatos han dejado clara su voluntad de debatir con micrófonos no silenciados durante todo el debate para permitir intercambios sustantivos entre los candidatos, pero parece que Donald Trump está dejando que sus manipuladores lo anulen. Es triste”.El debate del 10 de septiembre se acordó por primera vez cuando Biden aún estaba en la contienda. El equipo de Harris planeó mantenerlo, pero Trump vaciló, y luego anunció en una conferencia de prensa hace unas tres semanas que estaría allí. Luego, el domingo, planteó la posibilidad de no asistir después de todo, alegando que ABC estaba sesgada en su contra. El equipo de Harris insistió públicamente el lunes en el tema de los micrófonos.Maggie Haberman es corresponsal política sénior que cubre la campaña presidencial de 2024, desde las contiendas electorales en todo el país hasta las investigaciones sobre el expresidente Donald Trump.

A Bedouin Arab citizen of Israel was rescued after Israeli commandos found him alone in an underground warren, apparently abandoned by his captors.An elite Israeli military unit rescued a frail and gaunt hostage from a tunnel deep beneath the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the eighth living captive to be freed by Israeli troops in nearly 11 months of war and the first to be found alive in the subterranean labyrinth used by Hamas.The rescue came amid Israeli airstrikes across Gaza that Palestinian emergency services said killed at least 20 people. At one of the bombing sites in the southern city of Khan Younis, emergency crews frantically searched for survivors trapped under a collapsed building.The rescued hostage, Farhan al-Qadi, 52, a member of Israel’s Bedouin Arab minority, was freed by commandos without a fight after being discovered in a room roughly 25 yards underground, Israeli officials said. More than 100 hostages remain in Gaza, at least 30 of whom are now presumed dead by the Israeli authorities.The Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, portrayed the operation to rescue Mr. al-Qadi, as “complex and brave.” He said the soldiers reached him after “precise intelligence” was collected by Israel’s security services.But that account was at odds with details provided by two senior Israeli officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss a sensitive matter.Mr. al-Qadi, the Israeli officials said, was found by chance during an operation to capture a Hamas tunnel network. A team led by Flotilla 13, Israel’s equivalent to the U.S. Navy SEALs, were combing the tunnels for signs of Hamas when, to the forces’ surprise, they found Mr. al-Qadi on his own, without guards, the officials said.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
