A push for stricter gun laws in Maine

A MASS SHOOTING THAT LEFT 18 people dead at a bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Oct. 25 is putting a spotlight on the state's legal laxity on gun safety. Specifically, Maine doesn't have some measures that have been shown to reduce gun deaths or homicides, such as laws that require gun permits which some research found was associated with a 60% reduced risk of mass shootings-or universal background checks for handgun sales.

Only murders at the billionaire's retreat

A MURDER AT THE END OF THE World is a tricky title. It might refer to a murder in a remote location or a murder amid the literal end times. In the case of FX's smart, stylish new drama, it's a true double entendre. The plot works on multiple levels too. Set up as a classic cozy mystery, the detective story grounds an investigation of technology and enterprise in the age of climate apocalypse. Are the world's wealthiest innovators saving humanity or hastening our demise?

Nathan Fielder's Hitchcockian head trip

IN THE THIRD EPISODE OF SHOWTIME'S strange, riveting, and often hilarious new series The Curse, the married co-hosts of an in-development reality show watch a focus group respond to the pilot. \"I like the lady,\" says one woman. \"I do wish that he had a sense of humor or a personality.\" \"There's zero sexual tension,\" another participant complains. The final verdict: \"There was just something off about him. Like I said, either be hot or funny. He wasn't either to me.\"

ACROSS 75 YEARS, ISRAEL HAS BUILT itself around a military so formidable in battle that the country qualifies as a warrior state. But for the 2,000 years before that, the story of the Jews was one of perseverance through persecution, flight, and the kind of intimate, house-to-house slaughter Israelis awoke to on the morning of Oct. 7.

Seeing Gaza

SAHER ALGHORRA HAS LONG LOVED TO DOCUMENT both the beauty and challenges of life in Gaza. That's what first drove the 27-year-old Gaza native to become a photojournalist. But even Alghorra-who has already lived through the devastating 2008 and 2014 Gaza-Israel conflicts was not prepared for what has transpired this month. \"The humanitarian situation here is extremely catastrophic,\" Alghorra tells TIME.

A boost for Poland's democracy, and the E.U.

IN POLAND, AN UNEXpected surge of voters ready for change has ousted a populist coalition government in favor of a pro-E.U., more moderate group of leaders. The Law and Justice Party, in power since 2015, won the most parliamentary seats. But its coalition partners didn't perform well enough to allow current Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski to form another government.

THE CASE FOR ANXIETY

Anxiety. The very word evokes discomfort. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, half of young American adults deal with it, so it's no wonder that this epidemic is causing us so much concern. But, as a clinician and researcher, I see a much bigger problem: in our society's quest to be anxiety-free, we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this normal human emotion.
