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.

POLITICAL TURMOIL

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. SENT Monday: 1,000 words and photos. By Jake Coyle.
