NESTLED IN THE rolling hills of South West England, among picturesque towns with country cottages that sell for millions of pounds, there's a 16th-century private estate known as Longleat House. The country seat of the Marquess of Bath, it is also, for a few days in late summer 2023, the filming location for a sex-and-drug-addled TV show about misbehaving investment bankers. Bedecked with antique furniture and genealogical tapestries, the home is a significant change of place for a clique of self-destructive 20-something co-workers more often surrounded by the glass-and-fluorescent despair of their highly competitive London offices. Don't worry: They still find a way to do coke there.
At the end of Industry's third season-a level up for the series in terms of scale, writing, and general shenanigans-a few of its characters end up at this monument to old money for a dinner party. There are two familiar faces present in this scene, both wearing black tie: Harry Lawtey, who plays Industry's woebegone working-class striver, Robert, whose boys'-club looks fine cheekbones, a winning curl of hair Industry's makeup designer, Mirna Curak, tells me she is personally very protective of-allow him to fit into the banking world, and Marisa Abela, who plays Yasmin KaraHanani, a British Lebanese heiress who is as good at social manipulation as she is bad at her actual job.

A Wonk in Full- Ezra Klein, glowed-up and post-coup, was almost a celebrity at the convention.
Ezra Klein, glowed-up and post-coup, was almost a celebrity at the convention. Ezra Klein, who is known to keep his passions in check, did not have the right credentials to get into the arena. The Secret Service didn't recognize the New York Times' star "Opinion" writer and podcaster, but eventually he was able to figure out how to get in to where he belonged. This was, after all, as much his convention as any journalist's, since its high-energy optimism turned on the fact that President Joe Biden was no longer leading the ticket and, starting early this year, Klein had led the coup drumbeat.
The Afterlife of Donald Trump - The presidential hopeful contemplates his campaign, his formidable new opponent, and the miracle of his continued existence.
Donald Trump raised his right hand and grabbed hold of it. He bent it backward and forward. I asked if I could take a closer look. These days, the former president and current triple threat-convicted felon, Republican presidential nominee, and recent survivor of an assassination attempt-comes from a place of yes. He waved me over to where he sat on this August afternoon, in a low-to-the-ground chair upholstered in cream brocade fabric in the grand living room at Mar-a-Lago.
