The Sunday Read: ?My Goldendoodle Spent a Week at Some Luxury Dog ?Hotels.? I Tagged Along.?

By the time Sam Apple pulled up with his goldendoodle, Steve, to their resting place, he was tired from the long drive and already second-guessing his plan. He felt a little better when they stepped inside the Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat. The lobby, with its elegant tiled entrance, might have passed for the lobby of any small countryside hotel, at least one that strongly favored dog-themed decor. But this illusion was broken when the receptionist reviewed their reservation ? which, in addition to their luxury suite, included cuddle time, group play, a nature walk and a ?belly rub tuck-in.?

Venues like this one, on Kent Island in Maryland?s Chesapeake Bay, didn?t exist when Apple was growing up in the 1980s. If you needed a place to board your dog back then, you went to a kennel, where your dog spent virtually the entire day in a small ? and probably not very clean ? cage. There were no tuck-ins, no bedtime stories, no dog-bone-shaped swimming pools. There was certainly nothing like today?s most upscale canine resorts, where the dogs sleep on queen-size beds and the spa offerings include mud baths and blueberry facials; one pet-hotel franchise on the West Coast will even pick up your dog in a Lamborghini. Apple knew Dogwood Acres wouldn?t be quite as luxurious as that, but the accommodations still sounded pretty nice. So he decided to check his dog in, and to tag along for the journey.

The Sunday Read: ?Sure, It Won an Oscar. But Is It Criterion??

In October 2022, amid a flurry of media appearances promoting their film ?Tàr,? the director Todd Field and the star Cate Blanchett made time to visit a cramped closet in Manhattan. This closet, which has become a sacred space for movie buffs, was once a disused bathroom at the headquarters of the Criterion Collection, a 40-year-old company dedicated to ?gathering the greatest films from around the world? and making high-quality editions available to the public on DVD and Blu-ray and, more recently, through its streaming service, the Criterion Channel. Today Criterion uses the closet as its stockroom, housing films by some 600 directors from more than 50 countries ? a catalog so synonymous with cinematic achievement that it has come to function as a kind of film Hall of Fame. Through a combination of luck, obsession and good taste, this 55-person company has become the arbiter of what makes a great movie, more so than any Hollywood studio or awards ceremony.

The Sunday Read: ?Can Humans Endure the Psychological Torment of Mars??

That people will travel to Mars, and soon, is a widely accepted conviction within NASA. Rachel McCauley, until recently the acting deputy director of NASA?s Mars campaign, had, as of July, a punch list of 800 problems that must be solved before the first human mission launches. Many of these concern the mechanical difficulties of transporting people to a planet that is never closer than 33.9 million miles away; keeping them alive on poisonous soil in unbreathable air, bombarded by solar radiation and galactic cosmic rays, without access to immediate communication; and returning them safely to Earth, more than a year and half later. But McCauley does not doubt that NASA will overcome these challenges. What NASA does not yet know ? what nobody can know ? is whether humanity can overcome the psychological torment of Martian life.

A mission known as CHAPEA, an experiment in which four ordinary people would enact, as closely as possible, the lives of Martian colonists for 378 days, sets out to answer that question.

The Sunday Read: ?How Tom Sandoval Became the Most Hated Man in America?

At the end of a quiet, leafy street in the Valley in Los Angeles, the reality TV star Tom Sandoval has outfitted his home with landscaping lights that rotate in a spectrum of colors, mimicking the dance floor of a nightclub. The property is both his private residence and an occasional TV set for the Bravo reality show ?Vanderpump Rules.? After a series of events that came to be known as ?Scandoval,? paparazzi had been camped outside, but by the new year it was just one or two guys, and now they have mostly gone, too.

?Scandoval? is the nickname for Sandoval?s affair with another cast member, which he had behind the backs of the show?s producers and his girlfriend of nine years. This wouldn?t be interesting or noteworthy except that in 2023, after being on the air for 10 seasons, ?Vanderpump? was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding unstructured reality program, an honor that has never been bestowed on any of the network?s ?Housewives? shows. It also became, by a key metric, the most-watched cable series in the advertiser-beloved demographic of 18- to 49-year-olds and brought in over 12.2 million viewers. This happened last spring, when Hollywood?s TV writers went on strike and cable TV was declared dead and our culture had already become so fractured that it was rare for anything ? let alone an episode of television ? to become a national event. And yet you probably heard about ?Scandoval? even if you couldn?t care less about who these people are, exactly.

As ?Vanderpump? airs its 11th season, Tom Sandoval reflects on his new public persona.

The Sunday Read: ?How Do You Make a Weed Empire? Sell It Like Streetwear.?

The closest thing to a bat signal for stoners is the blue lettering of the Cookies logo. When a new storefront comes to a strip mall or a downtown shopping district, fans flock to grand-opening parties, drawn by a love of the brand ? one based on more than its reputation for selling extremely potent weed.

People often compare Cookies to the streetwear brand Supreme. That?s accurate in one very literal sense ? they each sell a lot of hats ? and in other, more subjective ones. They share a penchant for collaboration-based marketing; their appeal to mainstream audiences is tied up with their implied connections to illicit subcultures; and they?ve each been expanding rapidly in recent years.

All of it is inextricable from Berner, the stage name of Gilbert Milam, 40, Cookies? co-founder and chief executive, who spent two decades as a rapper with a sideline as a dealer ? or as a dealer with a sideline as a rapper. With the company?s success, he is estimated to be one of the wealthiest rappers in the world, without having ever released a hit record.

Sunday Special: Un-Marry Me!

Today we?re sharing the latest episode of Modern Love, a podcast about the complicated love lives of real people, from The New York Times.

Anna Martin, host of the show, spoke to David Finch, who wrote three Modern Love essays about how hard he had worked to be a good husband to his wife, Kristen. As a man with autism who married a neurotypical woman, Dave found it challenging to navigate being a partner and a father. Eventually, he started keeping a list of ?best practices? to cover every situation that might come up in daily life ? a method that worked so well he wrote a best-selling book on it.

But almost 11 years into his marriage, Kristen said she wanted to be ?unmarried.? Dave was totally thrown off. He didn?t know what that meant, or if he could do it. But he wasn?t going to lose Kristen, so he had to give it a try.

The Sunday Read: ?The Unthinkable Mental Health Crisis That Shook a New England College?

The first death happened before the academic year began. In July 2021, an undergraduate student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute was reported dead. The administration sent a notice out over email, with the familiar, thoroughly vetted phrasing and appended resources. Katherine Foo, an assistant professor in the department of integrative and global studies, felt especially crushed by the news. She taught this student. He was Chinese, and she felt connected to the particular set of pressures he faced. She read through old, anonymous course evaluations, looking for any sign she might have missed. But she was unsure where to put her personal feelings about a loss suffered in this professional context.

The week before the academic year began, a second student died. A rising senior in the computer-science department who loved horticulture took his own life. This brought an intimation of disaster. One student suicide is a tragedy; two might be the beginning of a cluster. Some faculty members began to feel a tinge of dread when they stepped onto campus.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts is a tidy New England college campus with the high-saturation landscaping typical of well-funded institutions. The hedges are beautifully trimmed, the pathways are swept clean. Red-brick buildings from the 19th century fraternize with high glass facades and renovated interiors. But over a six-month period, the school was turned upside down by a spate of suicides.

The Sunday Read: ?The Great Freight-Train Heists of the 21st Century?

Of all the dozens of suspected thieves questioned by the detectives of the Train Burglary Task Force at the Los Angeles Police Department during the months they spent investigating the rise in theft from the city?s freight trains, one man stood out. What made him memorable wasn?t his criminality so much as his giddy enthusiasm for trespassing. That man, Victor Llamas, was a self-taught expert of the supply chain, a connoisseur of shipping containers. Even in custody, as the detectives interrogated him numerous times, after multiple arrests, in a windowless room in a police station in spring 2022, a kind of nostalgia would sweep over the man. ?He said that was the best feeling he?d ever had, jumping on the train while it was moving,? Joe Chavez, who supervised the task force?s detectives, said. ?It was euphoric for him.?

Some 20 million containers move through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach every year, including about 35 percent of all the imports into the United States from Asia. Once these steel boxes leave the relative security of a ship at port, they are loaded onto trains and trucks ? and then things start disappearing. The Los Angeles basin is the country?s undisputed capital of cargo theft, the region with the most reported incidents of stuff stolen from trains and trucks and those interstitial spaces in the supply chain, like rail yards, warehouses, truck stops and parking lots.

In the era of e-commerce, freight train robberies are going through a strange revival.
