Lorde was involved with both the black liberation and feminist movements, and her work transcends gender and race,…

Alex Trebek’s contract expires in 2016, and rumor has it he’ll step down as host of Jeopardy! He’s been running that shop for so long it’s hard to imagine someone else treating geniuses like morons. Rumors are circulating that ABC is thinking of Matt Lauer from the Today Show, but…

New York City has long been the mecca of contemporary American art.
