AT THE MIDWAY point of the feverish eight-day stretch between the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the presidential race, Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, gave a speech to the Republican National Convention that in a less historically berserk period would have registered as one of the more remarkable events of the campaign. Vance began ordinarily enough, with a sycophantic preamble about Trump, before weaving the biographical story he told in his memoir Hillbilly Elegy into a broader narrative attacking corporations, foreign military entanglements, and trade deals that had undermined American manufacturing. “We need a leader who is not in the pocket of big business but answers to the working man, union and non-union alike,” he said. “We are done catering to Wall Street.”
The Fox News panelists in Milwaukee seemed at a loss. “This is a different pitch,” said Bret Baier. Dana Perino added, “There are going to be many Republicans who are like, ‘Ooh, I’m not sure if I’m okay with that.” CNBC had already been in meltdown since Trump announced Vance as his running mate, while an incredulous Wall Street Journal film critic encapsulated the agita on X, posting, “We’re done catering to Wall Street? WTF is the point of this party? We like Wall Street.”

Art Fall Preview - World in Motion - An Alvin Ailey retrospective sets the tone for an array of eclectic offerings from the art world this fall.
An Alvin Ailey retrospective sets the tone for an array of eclectic offerings from the art world this fall. A gust of fresh air is blowing through the art world. A brand-new outfit called Ruby/Dakota has opened on the supercool strip of East 2nd Street. A whole new scene has formed around 56 Henry's two gallery spaces in Chinatown, and solo shows there by Laurie Simmons and Richard Tinkler promise to scintillate. Just north of the Whitney, Fort Gansevoort Gallery regularly showcases undiscovered artists, including, in September, 84-year-old quilt-maker extraordinaire Yvonne Wells. A gaggle of established artists are also exhibiting-Kara Walker, Simone Leigh, Nick Cave, and the still under-known Denzil Forrester among them. And the museums will have their fair share of thrilling exhibitions, too: The Whitney will feature American national treasure Alvin Ailey, MoMA will peer deep into its own brilliant bellybutton in a show about the woman who helped make the museum, and the Brooklyn Museum will give us an enormous show of artists based in its borough.
