  43. <p>Music mogul Sean &lsquo;Diddy&rsquo; Combs, has admitted to assaulting his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, born Casandra Ventura. The video statement, shared via his Instagram account, comes two days after <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/17/entertainment/sean-combs-cassie-ventura"  target="_blank">CNN published CCTV footage of the assault</a> that took place in a Los Angeles hallway in March, 2016. </p>

  49. <p>In a video shared with his 20 million Instagram followers, Combs, 54, said: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you gotta do that. I was f-cked up. I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I&rsquo;m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, and I&rsquo;m disgusted now.&rdquo;</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>He continued: &ldquo;I went and I sought out professional help. I had to go into therapy, rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I&rsquo;m so sorry. But I&rsquo;m committed to be a better man each and every day. I&rsquo;m not asking for forgiveness. I&rsquo;m truly sorry.&rdquo;</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <p>Echoing his verbal statement, the post was captioned &ldquo;I&rsquo;m truly sorry.&rdquo;</p>
  58.

  60.  
  61. <p>The footage shows Combs running down a hotel corridor wearing only a white towel, and assaulting Ventura, who is waiting for an elevator, seemingly trying to leave. He can be seen throwing her to the floor and kicking her. </p>

  69. <p>Combs&rsquo; homes in Los Angeles and Miami were <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/diddy-raided-house-federal-homeland-security-b2520795.html"  target="_blank">raided by Homeland Security</a> in March, as the music mogul faces allegations of physical and sexual violence.&nbsp;</p>

  72.  
  73. <p>In November 2023, <a href="https://time.com/6336583/sean-combs-cassie-rape-abuse-lawsuit/" >Ventura, 37, filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court in Manhattan</a>, alleging that Combs had physically and sexually abused her for years during their relationship. Ventura filed the lawsuit under New York&rsquo;s Adult Survivors Act, which at that point allowed accusers to file lawsuits after the statute of limitations had passed.</p>
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77. <p>Per court documents, the abuse began shortly after Combs and Ventura met in 2005, when she was 19 and he was 37. The two were involved in an on-off relationship from 2007 until about 2018.&nbsp;</p>
  78.  
  79.  
  80.  
  81. <p>The CCTV footage since released by CNN closely resembles the description of an incident at a hotel in Los Angeles described in Ventura&rsquo;s lawsuit.</p>

  91. <p>Ventura and Combs reached a settlement one day after she filed the lawsuit. In a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/sean-diddy-combs-singer-cassie-settle-lawsuit-alleging-104997830#:~:text=In%20her%20statement%2C%20Ventura%20said,her%20family%20all%20the%20best."  target="_blank">statement distributed by her attorney</a> Douglas Wigdor, singer Ventura said at the time: &#8220;I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.&#8221;</p>
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. <p>Combs&mdash;who has adopted numerous monikers during his career, including Puff Daddy, Puffy, Diddy and, most recently, Love&mdash;also confirmed the settlement in a statement. &ldquo;We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love,&#8221; he said.</p>
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. <p>In an additional statement emailed to TIME, Combs&#8217; team shared a message from his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman.</p>
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. <p>&#8220;Just so we&rsquo;re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,&#8221; Brafman said. &#8220;Mr. Combs&#8217; decision to settle the lawsuit does not, in any way, undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.&#8221;</p>

  130.  
  131.  
  132. <p>ATLANTA &mdash; President Joe Biden on Sunday told the graduating class at Morehouse College that he heard their voices of protest over the Israel-Hamas war, and that scenes from the conflict in Gaza have been heartbreaking.</p>
  133.  
  134.  
  135.  
  136. <p>&ldquo;I support peaceful nonviolent protest,&#8221; he told students, some who wore keffiyeh scarves around their shoulders on top of their black graduation robes. &#8220;Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them.&rdquo;</p>
  137. [time-brightcove not-tgx=&#8221;true&#8221;]
  138.  
  139.  
  140.  
  141.  
  142. <p>The president told the crowd that it was a &ldquo;humanitarian crisis in Gaza, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve called for an immediate cease-fire to stop the fighting&#8221; and bring home the hostages taken when Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7. The comments, toward the end of his address that also reflected on American democracy and his role in safeguarding it, were the most direct recognition to U.S. students about the campus protests that have swept across the country.</p>
  143.  
  144.  
  145.  
  146. <p>Morehouse&rsquo;s announcement that Biden would be the commencement speaker drew some backlash among the school&rsquo;s faculty and supporters who oppose Biden&rsquo;s handling of the war. Some Morehouse alumni circulated an online letter condemning school administrators for inviting Biden and soliciting signatures to pressure Morehouse President David Thomas to rescind it.</p>
  147.  
  148.  
  149.  
  150. <p>The letter claimed that Biden&rsquo;s approach to Israel amounted to support of genocide in Gaza and was out of step with the pacifism expressed by Martin Luther King Jr., Morehouse&rsquo;s most famous graduate.</p>

  157.  
  158.  
  159.  
  160. <p>The Hamas attack on southern Israel killed 1,200 people. Israel&rsquo;s offensive has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to local health officials.</p>
  161.  
  162.  
  163.  
  164. <p>Some members of the graduating class showed support for Palestinians in Gaza by tying keffiyeh scarves around their shoulders on top of their black graduation robes. One student draped himself in a Palestinian flag. On the stage behind the president, academics unfurled a Democratic Republic of Congo flag. The country has been mired in an ongoing civil war that has plunged the nation into violence and displaced millions of people. Many racial justice advocates have called for greater attention to the conflict and for greater attention in the US to the conflict as well as American aid in ending the violence.</p>
  165.  
  166.  
  167.  
  168. <p>&ldquo;Thank you God for this &lsquo;woke&rsquo; class of 2024 that is in tune with the zeitgeist, the spirit of the times,&ldquo; the Rev. Claybon Lea Jr. said during a prayer at the start of the commencement.</p>
  169.  
  170.  
  171.  
  172. <p>The class valedictorian, DeAngelo Jeremiah Fletcher, said at the close of his speech that it was his duty to speak on the war in Gaza and that it was important to recognize that both Palestinians and Israelis have suffered.</p>
  173.  
  174.  
  175.  
  176. <p>&ldquo;From the comfort of our homes, we watch an unprecedented number of civilians mourn the loss of men, women and children, while calling for the release of all hostages he said. &ldquo;It is my stance as a Morehouse man, nay as a human being, to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.&rdquo;</p>
  177.  
  178.  
  179.  
  180. <p>Biden stook and shook his hand after Fletcher finished.</p>
  181.  
  182.  
  183.  
  184. <p>The speech, and a separate one Biden is giving later Sunday in the Midwest, is part of a burst of outreach to Black constituents by the president, who has watched his support among these voters soften since their strong backing helped put him in the Oval Office in 2020.</p>
  185.  
  186.  
  187.  
  188. <p>After speaking at Morehouse in Atlanta, Biden will travel to Detroit to address an NAACP dinner.</p>
  189.  
  190.  
  191.  
  192. <p>Georgia and Michigan are among a handful of states that will help decide November&#8217;s expected rematch between Biden and Republican former President Donald Trump. Biden narrowly won Georgia and Michigan in 2020 and needs to repeat &mdash; with a boost from strong Black voter turnout in both cities.</p>
  193.  
  194.  
  195.  
  196. <p>Biden spent the back end of the past week reaching out to Black constituents. He met with plaintiffs and relatives of those involved in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that outlawed racial segregation in public schools. He also met with members of the &ldquo;Divine Nine&rdquo; Black fraternities and sororities and spoke with members of the Little Rock Nine, who helped integrate a public school in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957.</p>
  197.  
  198.  
  199.  
  200. <p>In Detroit, Biden was set to visit a Black-owned small business before delivering the keynote address at the NAACP&rsquo;s Freedom Fund dinner, which traditionally draws thousands of attendees. The speech gives Biden a chance to reach thousands of people in Wayne County, an area that has historically voted overwhelmingly Democratic but has shown signs of resistance to his reelection bid.</p>
  201.  
  202.  
  203.  
  204. <p>Wayne County also holds one of the largest Arab American populations in the nation, predominantly in the city of Dearborn. Leaders there were at the forefront of an &ldquo;uncommitted&rdquo; effort that received over 100,000 votes in the state&rsquo;s Democratic primary and spread across the country.</p>
  205.  
  206.  
  207.  
  208. <p>A protest rally and march against Biden&rsquo;s visit are planned for Sunday afternoon in Dearborn. Another protest rally is expected later that evening outside Huntington Place, the dinner venue.</p>

  230.  
  231.  
  232.  
  233. <p>DUBAI, United Arab Emirates &mdash; A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country&#8217;s foreign minister and other officials apparently crashed in the mountainous northwest reaches of Iran on Sunday, sparking a massive rescue operation in a fog-shrouded forest as the public was urged to pray.</p>
  234. [time-brightcove not-tgx=&#8221;true&#8221;]
  235.  
  236.  
  237.  
  238.  
  239. <p>The likely crash came as Iran under Raisi and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched an unprecedented drone-and-missile attack on Israel last month and has enriched uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.</p>
  240.  
  241.  
  242.  
  243. <p>Iran has also faced years of mass protests against its Shiite theocracy over an ailing economy and women&rsquo;s rights &mdash; making the moment that much more sensitive for Tehran and the future of the country as the Israel-Hamas war inflames the wider Middle East.</p>
  244.  
  245.  
  246.  
  247. <p>Raisi was traveling in Iran&rsquo;s East Azerbaijan province. State TV said what it called a &ldquo;hard landing&rdquo; happened near Jolfa, a city on the border with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran. Later, state TV put it farther east near the village of Uzi, but details remained contradictory.</p>
  248.  
  249.  
  250.  
  251. <p>Traveling with Raisi were Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran&#8217;s East Azerbaijan province and other officials and bodyguards, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. One local government official used the word &ldquo;crash,&#8221; but others referred to either a &ldquo;hard landing&rdquo; or an &ldquo;incident.&rdquo;</p>
  252.  
  253.  
  254.  
  255. <p>Neither IRNA nor state TV offered any information on Raisi&rsquo;s condition in the hours afterward. However, hard-liners urged the public to pray for him. State TV aired images of hundreds of the faithful, some with their hands outstretched in supplication, praying at Imam Reza Shrine in the city of Mashhad, one of Shiite Islam&#8217;s holiest sites, as well as in Qom and other locations across the country. State television&#8217;s main channel aired the prayers nonstop.</p>
  256.  
  257.  
  258.  
  259. <p>&ldquo;The esteemed president and company were on their way back aboard some helicopters and one of the helicopters was forced to make a hard landing due to the bad weather and fog,&#8221; Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi said in comments aired on state TV. &#8220;Various rescue teams are on their way to the region but because of the poor weather and fogginess it might take time for them to reach the helicopter.&rdquo;</p>
  260.  
  261.  
  262.  
  263. <p>IRNA called the area a &ldquo;forest&rdquo; and the region is known to be mountainous as well. State TV aired images of SUVs racing through a wooded area and said they were being hampered by poor weather conditions, including heavy rain and wind. Rescuers could be seen walking in the fog and mist.</p>
  264.  
  265.  
  266.  
  267. <p>A rescue helicopter tried to reach the area where authorities believe Raisi&#8217;s helicopter was, but it couldn&#8217;t land due to heavy mist, emergency services spokesman Babak Yektaparast told IRNA. Late in the evening, Turkey&#8217;s defense ministry announced that it had sent an unmanned arial vehicle and was preparing to send a helicopter with night vision capabilities to join the search-and-rescue efforts.</p>
  268.  
  269.  
  270.  
  271. <p>Long after the sun set, Iranian government spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi acknowledged that &ldquo;we are experiencing difficult and complicated conditions&rdquo; in the search.</p>
  272.  
  273.  
  274.  
  275. <p>&ldquo;It is the right of the people and the media to be aware of the latest news about the president&rsquo;s helicopter accident, but considering the coordinates of the incident site and the weather conditions, there is &lsquo;no&rsquo; new news whatsoever until now,&rdquo; he wrote on the social platform X. &ldquo;In these moments, patience, prayer and trust in relief groups are the way forward.&rdquo;</p>
  276.  
  277.  
  278.  
  279. <p>Khamenei himself also urged the public to pray.</p>
  280.  
  281.  
  282.  
  283. <p>&ldquo;We hope that God the Almighty returns the dear president and his colleagues in full health to the arms of the nation,&#8221; Khamenei said, drawing an &ldquo;amen&rdquo; from the audience he was addressing.</p>
  284.  
  285.  
  286.  
  287. <p>Raisi, 63, a hard-liner who formerly led the country&rsquo;s judiciary, is viewed as a prot&eacute;g&eacute; of Khamenei and some analysts have suggested he could replace the 85-year-old leader after Khamenei&#8217;s death or resignation from the role.</p>
  288.  
  289.  
  290.  
  291. <p>Raisi had been on the border with Azerbaijan early Sunday to inaugurate a dam with Azerbaijan&rsquo;s President Ilham Aliyev. The dam is the third one that the two nations built on the Aras River. The visit came despite chilly relations between the two nations, including over a gun attack on Azerbaijan&#8217;s Embassy in Tehran in 2023, and Azerbaijan&#8217;s diplomatic relations with Israel, which Iran&#8217;s Shiite theocracy views as its main enemy in the region.</p>
  292.  
  293.  
  294.  
  295. <p>Iran flies a variety of helicopters in the country, but international sanctions make it difficult to obtain parts for them. Its military air fleet also largely dates back to before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. IRNA published images it described as Raisi taking off in what resembled a Bell helicopter, with a blue-and-white paint scheme previously seen in published photographs.</p>
  296.  
  297.  
  298.  
  299. <p>Raisi won Iran&#8217;s 2021 presidential election, a vote that saw the lowest turnout in the Islamic Republic&rsquo;s history. Raisi is sanctioned by the U.S. in part over his involvement in the mass execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988 at the end of the bloody Iran-Iraq war.</p>
  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. <p>Under Raisi, Iran now enriches uranium at nearly weapons-grade levels and hampers international inspections. Iran has armed Russia in its war on Ukraine, as well as launched a massive drone-and-missile attack on Israel amid its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It also has continued arming proxy groups in the Mideast, like Yemen&#8217;s Houthi rebels and Lebanon&#8217;s Hezbollah.</p>
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. <p>Meanwhile, mass protests in the country have raged for years. The most recent involved the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, a woman who had been earlier detained over allegedly not wearing a hijab, or headscarf, to the liking of authorities. The monthslong security crackdown that followed the demonstrations killed more than 500 people and saw over 22,000 detained.</p>
  308.  
  309.  
  310.  
  311. <p>In March, a United Nations investigative panel found that Iran was responsible for the &ldquo;physical violence&rdquo; that led to Amini&rsquo;s death.</p>
  312.  
  313.  
  314.  
  315. <p>President Joe Biden was briefed by aides on the Iran crash, but administration officials have not learned much more than what is being reported publicly by Iran state media, said a senior administration official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.</p>

  337.  
  338.  
  339. <p>On May 19, 1994, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, one of the most famous First Ladies, died at age 64 in her New York City apartment from non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer.&nbsp;</p>
  340.  
  341.  
  342.  
  343. <p>She was buried beside her first husband, former President John F. Kennedy, widely referred to as JFK, <a href="https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about-jfk/jfk-in-history/november-22-1963-death-of-the-president"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">whose assassination</a> she witnessed in Dallas in 1963. Even before the tragedy, the First Lady was already in the global spotlight, revered for her style and intellectualism. </p>

  345.  
  346.  
  347.  
  348.  
  349. <p>To mark the 30-year anniversary of Kennedy Onassis&rsquo; passing, here are 10 surprising facts you may not have known about her.&nbsp;</p>
  350.  
  351.  
  352.  
  353. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a &ldquo;superior&rdquo; student with &ldquo;an incredibly wicked wit&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>
  354.  
  355.  
  356.  
  357. <p>The future First Lady was born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on July 28, 1929 in Southampton, N.Y.&nbsp;</p>
  358.  
  359.  
  360.  
  361. <p>She had one younger sister. Her parents separated in 1936, with the years following the &ldquo;most acrimonious&rdquo; period, as the estranged couple fought bitterly before their divorce in 1940, Carl Sferrazza Anthony, author of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Girl-Coming-Bouvier-Kennedy/dp/1982141875"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><em>Camera Girl: The Coming of Age of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy</em></a> and other works, tells TIME. Anthony <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1997/07/14/jackie-o-by-word-of-mouth/9c8c9fbc-b2eb-41c0-a6e5-7f5fd48af6a3/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">met Kennedy Onassis</a> in 1975 and corresponded with her for years after. </p>
  362.  
  363.  
  364.  
  365. <p>Her mother remarried, and Kennedy Onassis <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2023/05/18/camera-girl-jackie-bouvier-kennedy-carl-sferrazza-anthony/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">grew up</a> between her stepfather&rsquo;s estates in Fairfax, Va. and Newport, R.I., her father&rsquo;s apartment in New York City, and the family home in East Hampton. </p>
  366.  
  367.  
  368.  
  369. <p>She <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/books/2023/05/18/camera-girl-jackie-bouvier-kennedy-carl-sferrazza-anthony/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">was a talented child</a> who rode horses, wrote poetry, and made art. She was &ldquo;superior&rdquo; in academics starting in grade school, Anthony says, although she struggled at her boarding high school. </p>
  370.  
  371.  
  372.  
  373. <p>&ldquo;She was in trouble a lot for defying authority, and yet she still got very good grades,&rdquo; he says.&nbsp;</p>
  374.  
  375.  
  376.  
  377. <p>She first attended Vassar College, and managed to make the honor roll, but &ldquo;hated Vassar&rdquo; because of its confining rules about women and strict curfews. According to Anthony, Kennedy Onassis was reportedly expelled from Vassar for staying out too late with a date and getting back to campus after curfew. He says she was reinstated after her mother and stepfather intervened, but transferred to George Washington University, where she graduated.&nbsp;</p>
  378.  
  379.  
  380.  
  381. <p>Her bold streak continued into adulthood. Katherine Jellison, professor of U.S. gender and women&rsquo;s history at Ohio University, tells TIME that because of the quiet demeanor Kennedy Onassis put forth as First Lady, most people don&rsquo;t know &ldquo;she had an incredibly wicked wit.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
  382.  
  383.  
  384.  
  385. <p>&ldquo;She was very intelligent, she had this great sense of humor,&rdquo; Jellison says. &ldquo;When she was on stage, she apparently could make the most funny and biting comments about situations or other people. With her inner circle, they just thought she was hilarious.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
  386.  
  387.  
  388.  
  389. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>She studied abroad in Paris and was briefly detained in Vienna </strong></h2>
  390.  
  391.  
  392.  
  393. <p>While studying in college, Kennedy Onassis spent a year abroad in Paris. She started by taking intensive French language classes at the University of Grenoble in September 1949, then traveled to Capri, Italy before enrolling at the Sorbonne in October, Anthony says.&nbsp;</p>
  394.  
  395.  
  396.  
  397. <p>Over Christmas break she visited Vienna, which had been<a href="https://www.wien.gv.at/english/history/overview/reconstruction.html"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"> divided between occupying powers</a> post World War II. There, she was detained by Soviet troops after being warned not to take photographs of their headquarters. Anthony says the former First Lady recounted, through letters, being held and questioned for at least three hours and threatened with being brought back to Siberia.</p>
  398.  
  399.  
  400.  
  401. <p>During her time in Europe, she also journeyed to Spain, England, Ireland, Scotland, and took a road trip through rural southern France.&nbsp;</p>
  402.  
  403.

  405. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a journalist before getting married </strong></h2>
  406.  
  407.  
  408.  
  409. <p>Kennedy Onassis was always interested in writing, Anthony says. She won a &ldquo;very prestigious literary award in high school&rdquo; and was active in her school newspaper.&nbsp;</p>
  410.  
  411.  
  412.  
  413. <p>In her senior year of college, she beat out almost 3,000 female college seniors to win a seven-month essay writing competition for <em>Vogue</em> magazine. The prize was a job as a junior editor with <em>Vogue</em>&mdash;six months in Paris and six months in New York City. </p>
  414.  
  415.  
  416.  
  417. <p>However, her mother, who was &ldquo;bewildered by her desire to work,&rdquo; did not want her to take the job and move to New York, where she would live with her father, Anthony says. Kennedy Onassis did start working at Vogue, but didn&rsquo;t last long after her mother called her constantly and badgered her into quitting, he adds.&nbsp;</p>
  418.  
  419.  
  420.  
  421. <p>After that, Kennedy Onassis&rsquo; stepfather helped her get a job through connections at the now-defunct <em>Washington Times-Herald</em> newspaper as an office clerk, according to Anthony. But she wanted to be a reporter, and after pitching a story about interviews reacting to a visit from then-Princess Elizabeth, later to be queen, her editor gave her a chance.&nbsp;</p>
  422.  
  423.  
  424.  
  425. <p>From 1951 to 1953, she was the newspaper&rsquo;s &ldquo;Inquiring Camera Girl,&rdquo; taking pictures and conducting interviews. In 1953, she traveled to London to cover the <a href="https://time.com/6277790/the-visual-parallels-between-elizabeth-ii-and-charles-iiis-coronations/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.  </a></p>

  432.  
  433. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>She was engaged to another man before JFK  </strong></h2>
  434.  
  435.  
  436.  
  437. <p>Around the time she got her newspaper job, Kennedy Onassis was briefly engaged to a man named John Husted.&nbsp;</p>
  438.  
  439.  
  440.  
  441. <p>&ldquo;John Husted really loved her, it was clear that she liked him, but wasn&rsquo;t in love with him,&rdquo; Anthony says. &ldquo;He was very nice to her and they got along well, they seemed to be good friends. He had dared her&mdash;why don&rsquo;t we get married, and if you decide you want to, then show up at this place and this time, and we&rsquo;ll (get engaged)&rdquo;&mdash;and they did. </p>
  442.  
  443.  
  444.  
  445. <p>However, &ldquo;Husted was a little bit more superficial than she realized&mdash;as she said, it was over when she realized that the most exciting thing for him was making a great martini,&rdquo; Anthony says. </p>
  446.  
  447.  
  448.  
  449. <p>At the time, she was also meeting for the second time up-and-coming Congressman Jack Kennedy. She was first introduced to her future husband in May 1951 at a dinner hosted by newspaperman Charles Bartlett and his wife, Martha, who wanted to set them up. But it wasn&rsquo;t until she met JFK again in December, just after she got engaged to Husted, that she became more interested in the future President, according to Anthony.&nbsp;</p>
  450.  
  451.  
  452.  
  453. <p>&ldquo;She started seeing him as a friend and she clearly liked him,&rdquo; the biographer says. They were both passionate readers of Lord Byron&rsquo;s poetry and shared feelings about Vietnam&rsquo;s independence.</p>
  454.  
  455.  
  456.  
  457. <p>&ldquo;There was a lot of substance that Jackie had with JFK that excited her intellectually,&rdquo; Anthony says. &ldquo;Whereas there was nothing at all like that with John Husted, so she broke off the engagement.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
  458.  
  459.  
  460.  
  461. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jackie Kennedy Onassis wrote a report on Vietnam that JFK reportedly used in speeches </strong></h2>
  462.  
  463.  
  464.  
  465. <p>Kennedy Onassis used her linguistic and intellectual skills to support JFK&rsquo;s work even before they were married, according to Anthony.&nbsp;</p>
  466.  
  467.  
  468.  
  469. <p>The biographer says he found documentation that while the pair were dating, she wrote an 84-page report for the then-Senator on France&rsquo;s political, social, military, and economic control of Vietnam, later estimating that she translated about ten books from French. JFK used sections from the report in his first major foreign policy speech to the Senate in 1953. He <a href="https://www.jfklibrary.org/archives/other-resources/john-f-kennedy-speeches/united-states-senate-indochina-19540406#:~:text=In%20Indochina%2C%20as%20in%20Korea,as%20in%20the%20United%20States."  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">gave another speech</a>, also based on the report, in 1954 that earned him his first national press coverage as a potential presidential candidate, helping to pave his path to the White House. </p>

  475.

  477. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>She intended to keep working after marriage </strong></h2>
  478.  
  479.  
  480.  
  481. <p>Kennedy Onassis got engaged and married to JFK in 1953.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  482.  
  483.  
  484.  
  485. <p>She had written in her 1947 high school yearbook that her intention was &ldquo;not to be a housewife.&rdquo; But in that era, Jellison points out, &ldquo;if you were from a well-to-do family, you needed to marry someone who is well-to-do.&rdquo; Any job a young woman pursued was &ldquo;biding her time until she could make that well-placed marriage that her mother had urged her to do,&rdquo; the historian adds.&nbsp;</p>
  486.  
  487.  
  488.  
  489. <p>The dichotomy that had been set up for her was that she could either work or be married&mdash;not both, Anthony says. Yet despite the social norms, he says, &ldquo;she had made it clear that she intended to go back to work at the newspaper after her honeymoon&mdash;so she had originally planned to be a working wife.&rdquo; </p>
  490.  
  491.  
  492.  
  493. <p>However, a PR firm working for her fianc&eacute;&rsquo;s family put out a press release announcing their engagement that said she formerly worked for the newspaper, essentially forcing her to give up her job, and &ldquo;so she was outmaneuvered in that,&rdquo; Anthony says.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  494.  
  495.  
  496.  
  497. <p>&ldquo;She was shocked,&rdquo; he says, according to an interview she gave to a reporter reacting to the press release. According to an excerpt from his book, she said: &ldquo;Things are a little confusing right now. To tell you the truth I didn&rsquo;t expect the wedding announcement to be made public until Friday of this week. But, now, having read the morning newspapers I find it difficult to add anything to the story.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
  498.  
  499.  
  500.  
  501. <p>Kennedy Onassis apparently harbored other professional ambitions beyond journalism as well: &ldquo;At one point she seriously thought about becoming an actress,&rdquo; Jellison says. The young woman verbalized this dream after she married JFK, but said she didn&rsquo;t think her father-in-law would probably look favorably on it, according to Jellison.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  502.  
  503.  
  504.  
  505. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jackie Kennedy Onassis was aware of her husband&rsquo;s indiscretions, according to some historians</strong></h2>
  506.  
  507.  
  508.  
  509. <p>JFK&rsquo;s affairs, which came to light publicly after his death, <a href="https://time.com/4586033/jackie-kennedy-jfk-cheating-people-cover/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">were known to his wife</a>, Jellison and other historians say. </p>
  510.  
  511.  
  512.  
  513. <p>In a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/13/politics/jackie-kennedy-letters/index.html"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">1952 letter to an Irish priest the year</a> before she got married, Kennedy wrote about her future husband: &ldquo;He&rsquo;s like my father in a way&mdash;loves the chase and is bored with the conquest&mdash;and once married needs proof he&rsquo;s still attractive, so flirts with other women and resents you. I saw how that nearly killed Mummy.&rdquo; </p>
  514.  
  515.  
  516.  
  517. <p>Womanizing upper-class males were not uncommon during that time period, Jellison explains.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
  518.  
  519.  
  520.  
  521. <p>&ldquo;It was just assumed that part of a wealthy man&rsquo;s privilege is that he would have sexual experiences outside of marriage, that was just a given, and that the women&rsquo;s role was to accept it, to look the other way,&rdquo; and focus on her children and other causes, Jellison explains.&nbsp;</p>
  522.  
  523.  
  524.  
  525. <p>Jellison compares the infidelity and elite social norms to that of another former President&mdash;<a href="https://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1908008_1908007_1907977,00.html"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Franklin D. Roosevelt</a>. When the wives of both found out their husbands cheated on them, their parents convinced them to stay married to not destroy the men&rsquo;s political careers, as &ldquo;divorce would be the ultimate wrecking ball&rdquo; for presidential aspirations in those time periods. </p>

  532.  
  533. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>She gave birth to four children&mdash;two who preceded her in death </strong></h2>
  534.  
  535.  
  536.  
  537. <p>Kennedy Onassis, who was 31 when her husband became President, was the<a href="https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about-jfk/jfk-in-history/jacqueline-kennedy-in-the-white-house#:~:text=Celebration%20of%20a%20Kennedy%20election,the%20turn%20of%20the%20century."  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"> third youngest</a> First Lady in U.S. history. She was also the first since the 19th century to occupy the White House during her child-bearing years, Jellison says.  </p>
  538.  
  539.  
  540.  
  541. <p>Before her husband was elected president, Kennedy Onassis had a miscarriage in 1955 and <a href="http://archive.firstladies.org/blog/the-children-of-jacqueline-kennedy/"  target="_blank">gave birth to a stillborn baby girl</a> in 1956. The couple&rsquo;s daughter Caroline&mdash;who is<a href="https://au.usembassy.gov/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"> currently the U.S. ambassador </a>to Australia&mdash;was born in 1957. </p>
  542.  
  543.  
  544.  
  545. <p>Kennedy Onassis was pregnant during JFK&rsquo;s presidential campaign in 1960, but because of her previous difficult pregnancies, cut short public appearances and went on full bed rest before giving birth. Their son John Jr. was born a couple weeks after the election. He <a href="https://time.com/2988210/jfk-jr-death-plane-crash-anniversary/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">died in a plane crash</a> in 1999 at age 38, alongside his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette.</p>
  546.  
  547.  
  548.  
  549. <p>The couple&rsquo;s youngest son, Patrick, was born prematurely and died a couple days later in 1963. &ldquo;The loss of Patrick, from all accounts, was devastating to the whole Kennedy family&mdash;to the President, to Mrs. Kennedy and to the two children she already had, they&rsquo;d been really looking forward to this baby,&rdquo; Jellison says. </p>
  550.  
  551.  
  552.  
  553. <p>&ldquo;Everyone said this brought them closer together,&rdquo; Jellison says of the presidential couple. &ldquo;For the first time they would be affectionate in public and be photographed together holding hands.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
  554.  
  555.  
  556.  
  557. <p>The baby&rsquo;s death occurred in August, before JFK was killed in November. The couple&rsquo;s fateful outing to Dallas was Kennedy Onassis&rsquo; first extended public appearance after the loss of their child, as she was just coming out of her mourning period, Jellison says.&nbsp;</p>
  558.  
  559.  
  560.  
  561. <p>Jellison says the First Lady was a chain-smoker who also smoked while pregnant, before medical wisdom advised against it.</p>
  562.  
  563.  
  564.  
  565. <p>At the time, smoking was viewed as glamorous in the sophisticated debutante world, but a wide swath of the American public still thought it was &ldquo;vulgar&rdquo; for women to smoke.&nbsp;</p>
  566.  
  567.  
  568.  
  569. <p>&ldquo;There was a rule that the official photographer of the Kennedy White House was never supposed to take pictures of Mrs. Kennedy with a cigarette,&rdquo; Jellison says. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu79rf4PLFl/?hl=en"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Photos of the First Lady smoking</a> have since come out. </p>

  578.  
  579.  
  580.  
  581. <p>After JFK&rsquo;s assassination, Kennedy Onassis was left with &ldquo;the rug pulled out from under her,&rdquo; Jellison says. Her next natural move was to marry rich&mdash;&rdquo;something she had been taught by her mother from the cradle, just keep marrying up the scale&rdquo;&mdash;Jellison explains. </p>
  582.  
  583.  
  584.  
  585. <p>In 1968, she <a href="https://time.com/5427682/jacqueline-kennedy-wedding-jackie-o/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">married Aristotle Onassis,</a> a Greek shipping magnate 23 years her senior, who was one of the richest men in the world. </p>
  586.  
  587.  
  588.  
  589. <p>&ldquo;She married Aristotle Onassis in part because he was so wealthy that she felt she wouldn&rsquo;t have to worry about money and the physical security of her children,&rdquo; Jellison says. &ldquo;There was a fondness and I think respect between Jackie and Aristotle Onassis. It was not a great love story.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
  590.  
  591.  
  592.  
  593. <p>&ldquo;In many ways he was a father-protector figure as well as a husband,&rdquo; the historian adds.&nbsp;</p>
  594.  
  595.  
  596.  
  597. <p>After a few years, the couple were largely living separate lives, with Kennedy Onassis staying with her children in New York City and Onassis in Europe. When he died in 1975, she <a href="https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/sorting-myth-and-history-in-jackie-kennedys-marria"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">released a statement</a> that read: &ldquo;Aristotle Onassis rescued me at a moment when my life was engulfed with shadows&hellip;We lived through many beautiful experiences together&hellip;for which I will be eternally grateful.&rdquo;</p>

  605. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>She became a book editor for nearly two decades before her death </strong></h2>
  606.  
  607.  
  608.  
  609. <p>After her second husband&rsquo;s death, Kennedy Onassis <a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/a10334726/jackie-kennedy-publishing-career/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">went to work</a> as a book editor for Viking Press and then Doubleday publishers. Over the course of 19 years, she acquired nearly 100 fiction and nonfiction books. </p>
  610.  
  611.  
  612.  
  613. <p>For the last few years of her life, she was also in a relationship with <a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a27243432/jackie-kennedy-onassis-maurice-tempelsman-relationship/"  target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Belgian-American businessman Maurice Tempelsman</a>. Jellison says this was probably Kennedy Onassis&rsquo; relationship of greatest equality, as he was her age and shared similar interests in the arts. </p>
  614.  
  615.  
  616.  
  617. <p>&ldquo;He was much more a soul mate in terms of mutual interests than had been either of her husbands,&rdquo; Jellison says. The historian concludes that Kennedy Onassis &ldquo;was living a very satisfactory life in those last years, and working with books, which she loved.&rdquo;</p>

  642.  
  643. <p>DALLAS &mdash; Former President Donald Trump urged gun owners to vote in the 2024 election as he addressed thousands of members of the National Rifle Association, which officially endorsed him just before Trump took the stage at their annual meeting in Texas on Saturday.</p>
  644.  
  645.  
  646.  
  647. <p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got to get gun owners to vote,&#8221; Trump said. &ldquo;I think you&rsquo;re a rebellious bunch. But let&rsquo;s be rebellious and vote this time.&#8221;</p>

  649.  
  650.  
  651.  
  652.  
  653. <p>Trump, in his speech, said the Second Amendment &ldquo;is very much on the ballot&#8221; in November, alleging that, if Democratic President Joe Biden &ldquo;gets four more years they are coming for your guns, 100% certain. Crooked Joe has a 40-year-record of trying to rip firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.&rdquo;</p>
  654.  
  655.  
  656.  
  657. <p>The Biden administration has taken a number of steps to try to combat gun violence, including a new rule that aims to close a loophole that has allowed tens of thousands of guns to be sold every year by unlicensed dealers who do not perform background checks.</p>
  658.  
  659.  
  660.  
  661. <p>Trump has pledged to continue to defend the Second Amendment, which he claims is &ldquo;under siege,&#8221; and has called himself &ldquo;the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House&rdquo; as the United States faces record numbers of deaths due to mass shootings. Last year ended with 42 mass killings and 217 deaths, making it one of the deadliest years on record.</p>

  668.  
  669.  
  670.  
  671. <p>The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been criticized by Biden, specifically for remarks that Trump made this year after a school shooting in Iowa. Trump called the incident &ldquo;very terrible&rdquo; only to later say that &ldquo;we have to get over it. We have to move forward.&rdquo;</p>
  672.  
  673.  
  674.  
  675. <p>Trump, during his speech, also laced into independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling him &ldquo;radical left&#8221; and &ldquo;a disaster,&rdquo; and noting that Kennedy had once called the NRA a &rdquo;terror group.&#8221;</p>
  676.  
  677.  
  678.  
  679. <p>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t think about it. Don&rsquo;t waste your vote,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;He calls you a terrorist group, and I call you the backbone of America.&rdquo; (Kennedy later said in a Fox News interview that he didn&rsquo;t remember his 2018 tweet. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t consider them a terror group, and I support the Second Amendment,&#8221; he said.)</p>
  680.  
  681.  
  682.  
  683. <p>Trump noted he will be speaking next week at the Libertarian Party&#8217;s convention and said he will urge its members to vote for him.</p>
  684.  
  685.  
  686.  
  687. <p>&ldquo;We have to join with them,&#8221; he said. &ldquo;We have to get that 3% because we can&rsquo;t take a chance on Joe Biden winning.&#8221;</p>
  688.  
  689.  
  690.  
  691. <p>Earlier Saturday, Trump&rsquo;s campaign and the Republican National Committee announced the creation of a new &ldquo;Gun Owners for Trump&#8221; coalition that includes gun rights activists and those who work in the firearms industry.</p>
  692.  
  693.  
  694.  
  695. <p>Biden has made curtailing gun violence a major part of his administration and reelection campaign, creating the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention overseen by Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden also has urged Congress to ban so-called assault weapons &mdash; something Democrats shied from even just a few years ago.</p>
  696.  
  697.  
  698.  
  699. <p>&ldquo;Tonight, Donald Trump confirmed that he will do exactly what the NRA tells him to do &mdash; even if it means more death, more shootings, and more suffering,&#8221; said Biden spokesman Ammar Moussa.</p>
  700.  
  701.  
  702.  
  703. <p>When Trump was president, there were moments when he pledged to strengthen gun laws. After a high school mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17 people and wounded 17 others, Trump told survivors and family members that he would be &ldquo;very strong on background checks.&rdquo; He claimed he would stand up to the NRA but later he backpedaled, saying there was &ldquo;not much political support.&rdquo;</p>
  704.  
  705.  
  706.  
  707. <p>On Saturday, Trump also brought up the criminal cases against him as his hush money trial heads into the final stretch next week and accused Democrats of being behind these cases because he is Biden&#8217;s opponent.</p>
  708.  
  709.  
  710.  
  711. <p>&ldquo;Never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom,&rdquo; he said.</p>
  712.  
  713.  
  714.  
  715. <p>Trump criticized Biden&#8217;s border policies, repeating his pledge that he will order the largest domestic deportation operation. He spoke about abortion and warned Republicans not to be so extreme on abortion to remain electable.</p>
  716.  
  717.  
  718.  
  719. <p>&ldquo;In my opinion, Republicans have not been talking about it intelligently. They haven&rsquo;t been talking about it with knowledge,&#8221; he said. &ldquo;Remember, speak from your heart. But you also have to get elected again.&rdquo;</p>

  744. <p>Alice Stewart, a CNN political commentator and veteran political adviser who worked on a number of GOP presidential campaigns, has died at age 58, the news network reported Saturday.</p>
  745.  
  746.  
  747.  
  748. <p>Police in northern Virginia told CNN that Stewart&#8217;s body was found outdoors in the Bellevue neighborhood early Saturday morning and that no foul play was suspected. Officials believe Stewart suffered a medical episode, according to CNN.</p>

  753.  
  754. <p>In an email to staff, the network&#8217;s CEO Mark Thompson called Stewart &ldquo;a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN.&rdquo;</p>
  755.  
  756.  
  757.  
  758. <p>&ldquo;A political veteran and an Emmy Award-winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN&rsquo;s coverage, known across our bureaus not only for her political savvy, but for her unwavering kindness,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Our hearts are heavy as we mourn such an extraordinary loss.&rdquo;</p>
  759.  
  760.

  762. <p>No further information about the cause of death or survivors was available Saturday.</p>

  765.  
  766. <p>Stewart was born on March 11, 1966, in Atlanta, and began her career as a local reporter in Georgia before moving to Little Rock, Arkansas to be a news anchor. She went on to serve as the communications director in then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee&#8217;s office. She assumed similar roles during Huckabee&#8217;s presidential run in 2008 and served as communications director for the 2012 presidential bids of Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and then former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. Most recently, Stewart was the communications director for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz&#8217;s 2016 campaign.</p>

  788. <p>&ldquo;My position at CNN is to be a conservative voice yet an independent thinker,&rdquo; Stewart said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a Kool-Aid drinker; I&rsquo;m not a never-Trumper, and I didn&rsquo;t check my common sense and decency at the door when I voted for (Trump).&rdquo;</p>
  789.

  861.  
  862.  
  863. <p>PHILADELPHIA &mdash; A half-dozen University of Pennsylvania students were among 19 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested during an attempt to occupy a school building, university police said Saturday.</p>
  864.  
  865.  
  866.  
  867. <p>Their arrests came a week after authorities broke up a protest encampment on campus and arrested nine students &mdash; and as other colleges across the country, anxious to prepare for commencement season, have either negotiated agreements with students or called in police to dismantle protest camps.</p>
  868. [time-brightcove not-tgx=&#8221;true&#8221;]
  869.  
  870.  
  871.  
  872.  
  873. <p>Members of Penn Students Against the Occupation of Palestine announced the action Friday at the school&rsquo;s Fisher-Bennett Hall, urging supporters to bring &ldquo;flags, pots, pans, noise-makers, megaphones&rdquo; and other items, the University of Pennsylvania Division of Public Safety said in a news release.</p>
  874.  
  875.  
  876.  
  877. <p>Officers could be seen closing in &ldquo;within the hour,&rdquo; The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. University police supported by city police then escorted the protesters out and secured the building, news outlets reported.</p>
  878.  
  879.  
  880.  
  881. <p>Police said after clearing the building that they recovered &ldquo;lock-picking tools and homemade metal shields fashioned from oil drums.&rdquo;</p>
  882.  
  883.  
  884.  
  885. <p>Exit doors had been secured with zip ties and barbed wire and barricaded with metal chairs and desks, while windows were covered by newspaper and cardboard, and bike racks and metal chairs blocked entrances, police said.</p>
  886.  
  887.  
  888.  
  889. <p>Seven of the students arrested on Friday remained in custody Saturday awaiting felony charges, including one person who assaulted an officer, campus police said. A dozen were issued citations for failing to disperse and follow police commands. They have been released from custody.</p>
  890.  
  891.  
  892.  
  893. <p>The attempted occupation of Fisher-Bennett Hall came a week after city and campus police broke up a two-week encampment on the campus, arresting 33 people, nine of whom were students and two dozen of whom had &ldquo;no Penn affiliation,&rdquo; according to university officials.</p>
  894.  
  895.  
  896.  
  897. <p>Meanwhile, a group protesting the war in Gaza and demanding that the University of Chicago divest from companies doing business with Israel temporarily took over a building on the school&rsquo;s campus Friday afternoon.</p>
  898.  
  899.  
  900.  
  901. <p>Members of the group surrounded the Institute of Politics building around 5 p.m. while others made their way inside, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.</p>
  902.  
  903.  
  904.  
  905. <p>The Chicago protest follows the May 7 clearing of a pro-Palestinian tent encampment at the school by police. University of Chicago administrators had initially adopted a permissive approach, but said earlier this month that the protest had crossed a line and caused growing concerns about safety.</p>
  906.  
  907.  
  908.  
  909. <p>On Friday, campus police officers using riot shields gained access to the Institute of Politics building and scuffled with protesters. Some protesters climbed from a second-floor window, according to the Sun-Times.</p>
  910.  
  911.  
  912.  
  913. <p>The school said protesters attempted to bar the entrance, damaged university property and ignored directives to clear the way, and that those inside the building left when campus police officers entered.</p>
  914.  
  915.  
  916.  
  917. <p>&ldquo;The University of Chicago is fundamentally committed to upholding the rights of protesters to express a wide range of views,&rdquo; school spokesperson Gerald McSwiggan said in a statement. &ldquo;At the same time, university policies make it clear that protests cannot jeopardize public safety, disrupt the university&rsquo;s operations or involve the destruction of property.&rdquo;</p>
  918.  
  919.  
  920.  
  921. <p>No arrests or injuries were reported.</p>
  922.  
  923.  
  924.  
  925. <p>Students and others have set up tent encampments on campuses around the country to protest the Israel-Hamas war, pressing colleges to cut financial ties with Israel. Tensions over the war have been high on campuses since the fall but the pro-Palestinian demonstrations spread quickly following an April 18 police crackdown on an encampment at Columbia University.</p>
  926.  
  927.  
  928.  
  929. <p>The demonstrations reached all corners of the United States, becoming its largest campus protest movement in decades, and spread to other countries, including many in Europe.</p>
  930.  
  931.  
  932.  
  933. <p>Lately, some protesters have taken down their tents, as at Harvard, where student activists this week said the encampment had &ldquo;outlasted its utility with respect to our demands.&rdquo; Others packed up after striking deals with college administrators who offered amnesty for protesters, discussions around their investments, and other concessions. On many other campuses, colleges have called in police to clear demonstrations.</p>
  934.  
  935.  
  936.  
  937. <p>Nearly 3,000 people have been arrested on U.S. campuses over the past month. As summer break approaches, there have been fewer new arrests and campuses have been calmer. Still, colleges have been vigilant for disruptions to commencement ceremonies.</p>
  938.  
  939.  
  940.  
  941. <p>The latest Israel-Hamas war began when Hamas and other militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing around 1,200 people and taking an additional 250 hostage. Palestinian militants still hold about 100 captives, and Israel&rsquo;s military has killed more than 35,000 people in Gaza, according to Gaza&rsquo;s Health Ministry, which doesn&rsquo;t distinguish between civilians and combatants.</p>
  942.  
  943.  
  944.  
  945. <p>On Thursday, police began dismantling a pro-Palestinian encampment at DePaul University in Chicago, hours after the school&rsquo;s president told students to leave the area or face arrest.</p>

  971. <p>WASHINGTON &mdash; Thousands of protesters are expected to turn out for a rally in the nation&#8217;s capital Saturday in support of Palestinian rights and an immediate end to Israeli military operations in Gaza.</p>
  972.  
  973.  
  974.  
  975. <p>The event commemorates the 76th anniversary of what is called the Nakba, the Arabic word for catastrophe, and refers to the exodus of some 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were forced from what is now Israel when the state was created in 1948.</p>
  976. [time-brightcove not-tgx=&#8221;true&#8221;]
  977.  
  978.  
  979.  
  980.  
  981. <p>Rally organizers, in an unusual step, did not apply for any permits from the National Park Service, which oversees the National Mall. These permits, which include estimates on attendance, are a traditional step for large rallies or protests.</p>
  982.  
  983.  
  984.  
  985. <p>&ldquo;Permits are required for any organized activity in order to provide for public and participant safety, protection of park resources, and maintaining a commemorative mood where appropriate,&rdquo; said Mike Litterst, the agency&#8217;s chief of communications for the National Mall. &ldquo;However, in the event no permit application was submitted, we make every effort to support the First Amendment rights of all visitors to the areas we protect with the priority being placed on safety and protection of park resources.&rdquo;</p>
  986.  
  987.  
  988.  
  989. <p>In the absence of permit applications, there were no estimates as to the size of the protest, and the Park Service no longer provides official crowd estimates for gatherings on the National Mall.</p>
  990.  
  991.  
  992.  
  993. <p>In January, thousands of pro-Palestinian activists flooded the National Mall in one of the larger protests in recent memory in the District of Columbia.</p>
  994.  
  995.  
  996.  
  997. <p>This year&rsquo;s event is fueled by anger over the ongoing siege of Gaza. The latest Israel-Hamas war began when Hamas and other militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking an additional 250 hostage. Palestinian militants still hold about 100 captives, and Israel&rsquo;s military has killed more than 35,000 people in Gaza, according to Gaza&rsquo;s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.</p>
  998.  
  999.  
  1000.  
  1001. <p>The rally is also being fueled by anger over the violent crackdown on multiple pro-Palestinian protest camps at universities across the country. In recent weeks, long-term encampments have been broken up by police at more than 60 schools, including George Washington University not far from the White House.</p>
  1002.  
  1003.  
  1004.  
  1005. <p>In addition to pressing Israel and the Biden administration for an immediate end to hostilities in Gaza, the protestors are expected to push for the right of return for Palestinian refugees &mdash; a longstanding Israeli red line in decades of start-and-stop negotiations.</p>
  1006.  
  1007.  
  1008.  
  1009. <p>After the Arab-Israeli war that followed Israel&#8217;s establishment, Israel refused to allow them to return because it would have resulted in a Palestinian majority within Israel&#8217;s borders. Instead, they became a seemingly permanent refugee community that now numbers some 6 million, with most living in slum-like urban refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank. In Gaza, the refugees and their descendants make up around three-quarters of the population.</p>

  1033. <p>After much anticipation, the <em><a href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/exhibitions/royal-portraits-a-century-of-photography/the-kings-gallery-buckingham-palace"  target="_blank">Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography</a> </em>exhibition opened at the King&rsquo;s Gallery in Buckingham Palace on Friday, May 17. The curated collection features previously unseen portraits of the royal family, alongside celebrated images that fans may be more familiar with. </p>

  1039. <p>Exhibition curator Alessandro Nasini has selected portraits by esteemed artists including Cecil Beaton, David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, and Andy Warhol.</p>
  1040.  
  1041.  
  1042.  
  1043. <p>The exhibition features a poignant portrait of Kate Middleton, captured by Paolo Roversi and originally shared ahead of the royal&rsquo;s 40th birthday in 2022. The ethereal black-and-white image sees Middleton displaying her side profile in a white, off-the-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown. The accessories are kept to a minimum, with pearl-drop earrings and her blue sapphire, diamond encrusted engagement ring that famously once belonged to Princess Diana. Middleton adopts a royal-favorite pose, remaining seated and staring into the distance. </p>
  1044.  
  1045.  
  1046.  
  1047. <p>When the image was initially released in 2022, alongside two other portraits in honor of Middleton&rsquo;s birthday, it entered a collection belonging to London&#8217;s National Portrait Gallery, of which she is a patron. </p>

  1059.  
  1060.  
  1061. <p>The portrait of Middleton has often been compared to one painted over 150 years ago of Queen Alexandra, then the Princess of Wales. Captured by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, the painting shows Alexandra of Denmark in a billowing white gown with crystal blue adornments. Wearing a floral headdress, the royal is standing, but turned to the side ever so slightly. </p>
  1062.  
  1063.  
  1064.  
  1065. <p>The exhibition featuring Middleton comes as she continues to take time away from public-facing duties <a href="https://time.com/6959819/kate-middleton-cancer-diagnosis/" >following her cancer diagnosis</a>. In a video shared on March 22, the mum-of-three revealed she had started a course of &ldquo;<a href="https://time.com/6959909/kate-middleton-preventive-chemotherapy/" >preventative chemotherapy</a>&rdquo; after being diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer following a planned abdominal surgery in January. During a recent royal engagement, Prince William said that his wife is &ldquo;<a href="https://time.com/6977179/kate-middleton-cancer-diagnosis-update-prince-william-comments/" >doing well</a>&rdquo; when asked by a concerned member of the public.</p>

  1071.

  1073. <p>As for the royal exhibition, which is set to remain open on select days until Oct. 6, other notable images include a vibrant portrait, featuring bleached out details, of <a href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/exhibitions/royal-portraits-a-century-of-photography/the-kings-gallery-buckingham-palace/reigning-queens-royal-edition-queen-elizabeth-ii-of-the-united-kingdom"  target="_blank">Queen Elizabeth II by Warhol</a>. There is also a striking photograph of King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales, taken at Birkhall, his private residence in Scotland.

  1095.  
  1096.  
  1097.  
  1098. <p>NEW YORK &mdash; Dabney Coleman, the mustachioed character actor who specialized in smarmy villains like the chauvinist boss in &#8220;9 to 5&#8221; and the nasty TV director in &#8220;Tootsie,&#8221; has died. He was 92.</p>
  1099.  
  1100.  
  1101.  
  1102. <p>Coleman died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, his daughter, Quincy Coleman, said in a statement to The Associated Press. She said he &ldquo;took his last earthly breath peacefully and exquisitely.&rdquo;</p>
  1103. [time-brightcove not-tgx=&#8221;true&#8221;]
  1104.  
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107.  
  1108. <p>&ldquo;The great Dabney Coleman literally created, or defined, really &mdash; in a uniquely singular way &mdash; an archetype as a character actor. He was so good at what he did it&rsquo;s hard to imagine movies and television of the last 40 years without him,&rdquo; Ben Stiller wrote on X.</p>
  1109.  
  1110.  
  1111.  
  1112. <p>For two decades Coleman labored in movies and TV shows as a talented but largely unnoticed performer. That changed abruptly in 1976 when he was cast as the incorrigibly corrupt mayor of the hamlet of Fernwood in &#8220;Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,&#8221; a satirical soap opera that was so over the top no network would touch it.</p>
  1113.  
  1114.  
  1115.  
  1116. <p>Producer Norman Lear finally managed to syndicate the show, which starred Louise Lasser in the title role. It quickly became a cult favorite. Coleman&#8217;s character, Mayor Merle Jeeter, was especially popular and his masterful, comic deadpan delivery did not go overlooked by film and network executives.</p>
  1117.  
  1118.  
  1119.  
  1120. <p>A six-footer with an ample black mustache, Coleman went on to make his mark in numerous popular films, including as a stressed out computer scientist in &ldquo;War Games,&rdquo; Tom Hanks&#8217; father in &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve Got Mail&rdquo; and a fire fighting official in &ldquo;The Towering Inferno.&rdquo;</p>
  1121.  
  1122.  
  1123.  
  1124. <p>He won a Golden Globe for &ldquo;The Slap Maxwell Story&rdquo; and an Emmy Award for best supporting actor in Peter Levin&rsquo;s 1987 small screen legal drama &ldquo;Sworn to Silence.&rdquo; Some of his recent credits include &ldquo;Ray Donovan&rdquo; and a recurring role on &ldquo;Boardwalk Empire,&rdquo; for which he won two Screen Actors Guild Awards.</p>
  1125.  
  1126.  
  1127.  
  1128. <p>In the groundbreaking 1980 hit &#8220;9 to 5,&#8221; he was the &ldquo;sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot&rdquo; boss who tormented his unappreciated female underlings &mdash; Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton &mdash; until they turned the tables on him.</p>
  1129.  
  1130.  
  1131.  
  1132. <p>In 1981, he was Fonda&#8217;s caring, well-mannered boyfriend, who asks her father (played by her real-life father, Henry Fonda) if he can sleep with her during a visit to her parents&#8217; vacation home in &#8220;On Golden Pond.&#8221;</p>
  1133.  
  1134.  
  1135.  
  1136. <p>Opposite Dustin Hoffman in &#8220;Tootsie,&#8221; he was the obnoxious director of a daytime soap opera that Hoffman&#8217;s character joins by pretending to be a woman. Among Coleman&#8217;s other films were &#8220;North Dallas Forty,&#8221; &#8220;Cloak and Dagger,&#8221; &#8220;Dragnet,&#8221; &#8220;Meet the Applegates,&#8221; &#8220;Inspector Gadget&#8221; and &#8220;Stuart Little.&#8221; He reunited with Hoffman as a land developer in Brad Silberling&#8217;s &#8220;Moonlight Mile&#8221; with Jake Gyllenhaal.</p>
  1137.  
  1138.  
  1139.  
  1140. <p>Coleman&#8217;s obnoxious characters didn&#8217;t translate quite as well on television, where he starred in a handful of network comedies. Although some became cult favorites, only one lasted longer than two seasons, and some critics questioned whether a series starring a lead character with absolutely no redeeming qualities could attract a mass audience.</p>
  1141.  
  1142.  
  1143.  
  1144. <p>&#8220;Buffalo Bill&#8221; (1983-84) was a good example. It starred Coleman as &#8220;Buffalo Bill&#8221; Bittinger, the smarmy, arrogant, dimwitted daytime talk show host who, unhappy at being relegated to the small-time market of Buffalo, New York, takes it out on everyone around him. Although smartly written and featuring a fine ensemble cast, it lasted only two seasons.</p>
  1145.  
  1146.  
  1147.  
  1148. <p>Another was 1987&#8217;s &#8220;The Slap Maxwell Story,&#8221; in which Coleman was a failed small-town sportswriter trying to save a faltering marriage while wooing a beautiful young reporter on the side.</p>
  1149.  
  1150.  
  1151.  
  1152. <p>Other failed attempts to find a mass TV audience included &#8220;Apple Pie,&#8221; &#8220;Drexell&rsquo;s Class&#8221; (in which he played an inside trader) and &#8220;Madman of the People,&#8221; another newspaper show in which he clashed this time with his younger boss, who was also his daughter.</p>
  1153.  
  1154.  
  1155.  
  1156. <p>He fared better in a co-starring role in &#8220;The Guardian&#8221; (2001-2004), which had him playing the father of a crooked lawyer. And he enjoyed the voice role as Principal Prickly on the Disney animated series &#8220;Recess&#8221; from 1997-2003.</p>
  1157.  
  1158.  
  1159.  
  1160. <p>Underneath all that bravura was a reserved man. Coleman insisted he was really quite shy. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been shy all my life. Maybe it stems from being the last of four children, all of them very handsome, including a brother who was Tyrone Power-handsome. Maybe it&#8217;s because my father died when I was 4,&rdquo; he told The Associated Press in 1984. &ldquo;I was extremely small, just a little guy who was there, the kid who created no trouble. I was attracted to fantasy, and I created games for myself.&rdquo;</p>
  1161.  
  1162.  
  1163.  
  1164. <p>As he aged, he also began to put his mark on pompous authority figures, notably in 1998&#8217;s &#8220;My Date With the President&#8217;s Daughter,&#8221; in which he was not only an egotistical, self-absorbed president of the United States, but also a clueless father to a teenager girl.</p>
  1165.  
  1166.  
  1167.  
  1168. <p>Dabney Coleman &mdash; his real name &mdash; was born in 1932 in Austin, Texas After two years at the Virginia Military Academy, two at the University of Texas and two in the Army, he was a 26-year-old law student when he met another Austin native, Zachry Scott, who starred in &#8220;Mildred Pierce&#8221; and other films.</p>
  1169.  
  1170.  
  1171.  
  1172. <p>&#8220;He was the most dynamic person I&#8217;ve ever met. He convinced me I should become an actor, and I literally left the next day to study in New York. He didn&#8217;t think that was too wise, but I made my decision,&#8221; Coleman told The AP in 1984.</p>
  1173.  
  1174.  
  1175.  
  1176. <p>Early credits included such TV shows as &#8220;Ben Casey,&#8221; &#8220;Dr Kildare,&#8221; &#8220;The Outer Limits,&#8221; &#8220;Bonanza,&#8221; &#8220;The Mod Squad&#8221; and the film &#8220;The Towering Inferno.&#8221; He appeared on Broadway in 1961 in &ldquo;A Call on Kuprin.&rdquo; He played Kevin Costner&#8217;s father on &ldquo;Yellowstone.&rdquo;</p>
  1177.  
  1178.  
  1179.  
  1180. <p>Twice divorced, Coleman is survived by four children, Meghan, Kelly, Randy and Quincy, and the grandchildren Hale and Gabe Torrance, Luie Freundl and Kai and Coleman Biancaniello.</p>
  1181.  
  1182.  
  1183.  
  1184. <p>&ldquo;My father crafted his time here on earth with a curious mind, a generous heart, and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity,&rdquo; Quincy Coleman wrote in his honor.</p>
  1185.
