I've worked with many actors who couldn't memorize well, or, in one case, at all. In fact, I stopped writing lyrical language for theatre because it seemed futile; it would just be paraphrased anyway. Mostly it was frustrating, but occasionally poignant, as here. www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/j...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed
to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient.
If the standard for airing a story becomes
"the government must agree to be
interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
These men risked their lives to speak with us.
We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.
CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch
it be dismantled without a fight.
Sharyn

In solidarity with Chicago educators navigating these horrors instead of focusing on learning.
K Hurley Wales is with Craig Wales in Lincoln Square. • Follow
21h • C
Yesterday started like many others. Craig made us coffee. My neighbor offered us some freshly baked scones. The girls ate their breakfast, excited for a three day weekend and their daddy's birthday.
At 8:15 AM, we learned that an elderly man had been tackled by border control in a nearby alley.
At 8:30 AM, ICE detained two landscapers near Foster and Lincoln, a few blocks away. The entire neighborhood came out to help by recording and protesting, one of whom happened to be a WGN producer. She was violently abducted.
ICE slammed into a neighbor's parked car during their rapid getaway and kept right on driving.
At 9 AM, our school principal initiated our rapid response network and hundreds of parent, staff, and communities mobilized to patrol our school in support of our at-risk families and to allow our children to safely play and learn outdoors.
At 10 AM, ICE arrived fully alarmed near Ravenswood Elementary, a local public school where many of our friends go and teach. I spoke directly with my dear friend who teaches there immediately after it happened and, as you can imagine, she was terrified and traumatized.
At 10:15, ICE was reported outside a local daycare, where many of our neighborhood kiddos go.

As the day unfolded, at least 8 of our neighbors were detained, and there were dozens of confirmed ICE sightings outside local schools and businesses. Craig and I spent a collective 10 hours patrolling our daughters' school. Several schools went into lockdown, following the same protocol response we'd follow for an active shooter.
Elsewhere in the city, in the last 2-3 weeks ICE has:
-killed a young father after he dropped his son off at school, the agent sustained minor injuries
-shot a woman 5 times and tried to blame her for provocation (body cam footage proves otherwise)
-shot a priest in the head with a pepper bullet while he prayed at a protest
-teargassed dozens of Chicago police
-teargassed reporters and non-violent protestors
-stormed a building with helicopters, arresting (among criminals) US citizens who had done nothing wrong, including zip tying 4 children, torn from their beds in the middle of the night barely clothed and not allowed to dress
-detained a family while their children played in the fountains at Millennium Park
-handcuffed an alderperson inside a hospital
-Stormed through suburban parks to try and catch nannies walking babies
-they are masked, wear no names, 'arrest' with no warrants, and will kill you if you try to fight back
-71 percent of the people taken have no criminal history, most are just trying to work through the slow process of naturalization
As I write this, l'm seeing live footage of them raiding Home Depot and receiving reports of them detaining 18 Uber drivers at O'Hare.
If you're outside of Chicago and weren't aware of what's happening here, now you know. This is not okay. Nobody should be pretending this is okay.

Chicago is my favorite place in the whole world. I have lived here for 28 years and I have never felt so profoundly unsafe until this week. And it's not because of gangs or crime or unhoused people or drug users or migrants.
I feel unsafe because there are militarized units with loaded guns in the school parking lots of my district, kidnapping my neighbors.
Now please enjoy my family photo, taken last night while trying to salvage Craig's birthday and preserve normalcy for our children at one of this city's incredible restaurants.
I made this post public so that it can be shared.
I will also post footage and media links in my comments.
