As a U.S. Open Hall of Fame ballboy (LOOK ME UP) who shared the court with so many hothead male tennis players -- including scrubs screaming and shouting and cursing about bad calls on like court 19 -- I have never seen a game deduction. Never.

Author of The Italian Job: A Memoir of an American Reporter in Rome, coming Oct 6, 2026. Pre-order at link in bio:
- This story! During her confirmation hearing Ms. Chao did not discuss her family’s extensive ties to the Chinese maritime industry, and she did not disclose the Chinese accolades she had received as required by the Senate. “An oversight,” the Transportation Department said.Exclusive: Reporting by The New York Times shows how the family of Elaine Chao, transportation secretary and wife of Senator Mitch McConnell, prospered as the family’s shipping company developed deep ties to China’s political and economic elite. nyti.ms/2HQfEez
- Plagiarism used to be a never-work-again offense but it's become the sort of thing people weakly apologize for
- I had to cover Italy’s coronavirus outbreak. All I had was a ski mask. On my last day of quarantine I look back at what it was like to report on the front lines of Italy's epidemic and then from a bedroom with a balcony.
- Extraordinary photography and voices from Bergamo, the bleak heart of Italy's coronavirus epidemic. Our look, close up, at the terrible toll of the virus, and what may await so many corners of the world.
- Silvio Berlusconi has been dominant for so long in Italy that I wrote his obit for both the @nytimes and the @washingtonpost
- Great LA Times pic of actors looking legit stunned. Michelle Williams gets it! But I have found some suspects!
- First the virus exploded in Bergamo. Then came the shell shock. The province that first gave the West a preview of the horrors to come now serves as a disturbing postcard from the post-traumatic aftermath of the first wave.
- Italy's tragic experience with the coronavirus provides a searing, and seemingly unheeded, lesson for the world. Italy looked at China as a “science fiction movie" the deputy minister said, and then Europe “looked at us the same way we looked at China.”
- I asked Trump if he'd serve if elected or just drop mic. “I’ll let you know how I feel about it after it happens”
- Giuseppe Conte, potentially Italy’s next leader, wrote that he “perfected and updated his studies” at NYU, which, when asked, said “A person by this name does not show up in any of our records as either a student or faculty member.”
- The town of Floridia had a few claims to fame. The 2nd wife of a Bourbon king was its duchess. The snails that are a Sicilian delicacy are raised here. Its mayor is among Italy’s youngest. And now it’s perhaps the hottest town in Europe’s recorded history.
- This kid is very ready to see the pope. Not messing around. “He has the vocation,” his mother told me.
- The Sicilian mother had prepared everything for the baptism. A mini satin suit with top hat, photographers, lunch at the Copacabana. But as the priest said the liturgy, something was missing: The Godfather. In Catania, a fed-up church has rubbed them out.
