For New York's latest cover story, ­Rebecca Traister chronicled America's oldest sitting senator's five ­decades in public office. Stephen A. Rhodes called it 'an outstanding piece of journalism. It both details Feinstein's ­unpredictable rise to power — and helps to explain the current dysfunction of the ­Senate.' David Roberts of Volts newsletter wrote, 'There's so much compassion in @­rtraister's elegiac piece on Feinstein that it dulled my rage at the senescent senator & the broken system that props her up.

If you're like us, you've probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair but the hair spray and the electric toothbrush. We asked the musician Rob Thomas about his grown-up peanut butter, the candle he converted his tough-guy friend to, and the bar soap he and his wife can't get enough of. Justin's Classic Peanut Butter I'm a grazer. I like to grab a spoon and just get a little bit of peanut butter. It's like pouring cereal into your hand.

The pandemic's second winter is about to arrive. And though indoor venues are more open than ever before, many of us are still most comfortable when gathering outside. If the thought of doing so in 36-degree weather makes you nervous, it may be wise to consider buying an outdoor heater, and to do so as soon as possible. Last winter saw a sales spike for many of our favorite patio and portable heaters, leading to supply-chain issues. There are a couple things to consider when choosing an outdoor heater, says David Heiman, the senior director of training at Phoenix's the Refrigeration School Inc.

Combining the most predictable dad accessory (tie) with the most predictable dad hobby (golf), novelty golf-print neckwear might be the most predictable Father's Day gift of all time. In fact, back in the 1930s, Father's Day was literally invented to sell neckties. To avoid gifting dad something that will end up stuffed in the back of a drawer, we asked eight golf-loving dads what they actually want, combed through expert-recommended golf gear, and threw in some cool-looking finds of our own. Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors Two golf dads we spoke with were excited about the high-tech Arccos system for tracking their performance.
