TOP STORY

Capitol Breach-The Imagery: It’s potential evidence for police. It’s a memento of an I-was-at-Woodstock moment for a particular subset of American. It’s potent propaganda for people who want to recruit the likeminded, and it’s real-life cinema verite that evokes generations of political thrillers. The body of imagery — video and photos, most from phone cameras — captured by intruders at the U.S. Capitol offered a fascinating glimpse into a chaotic public event, and a study in subjectivity by participants who were in the midst of breaking the law. UPCOMING Monday: 1,000 words and photos. By Jake Coyle.

FOOD

TV-Food-Wolfgang Puck: Usually TV cameras are trained on the celebrities at such shindigs as the Screen Actors Guild awards but with the new HBO Max series “The Event,” they capture the cooks and servers toiling behind the scenes. By Entertainment Writer Mark Kennedy. UPCOMING Wednesday: 750 words, photos.

PETS

Ben & Jerry’s-Doggie Dessert: Ben & Jerry’s isn’t just for people anymore. The venerable Vermont ice cream company said Monday it’s introducing a line of frozen dog treats, its first foray into the lucrative pet food market. SENT Monday, photos.

TRAVEL

Virus Outbreak-India Goa: The sun’s golden rays fall on Goa’s smooth, sandy beaches every evening, magical as ever but strangely quiet and lonely. This holiday season in this Indian party hotspot, few visitors are enjoying its celebrated sunsets. The unspoken fear of the coronavirus is sapping Goa’s vibrant beach shacks and noisy bars of their lifeblood. The coastal state usually comes alive in December and January, its tourism-led economy booming with foreign travelers and chartered flights bringing in hordes of vacationers.
