The current president of the United States has decided to continue to do the job of president of the United States until he's not the president of the United States any more. This week, he let that be known in a very big way. The deal by which Nippon Steel would buy U.S. Steel for $14.9 billion has been an under-the-radar controversy for some time now. The president lined up against it in March, and the United Steelworkers are vigorously opposed. |

It's hard to mention the U.S. Open tennis tournament without talking about the event's signature cocktail. The Honey Deuce has been an essential part of the U.S. Open experience since 2007. And the man who created it, former Grey Goose ambassador and restauranteur Nick Mautone, was inspired by the light and refreshing taste of honeydew melons for the iconic drink—and it didn't hurt that, when scooped, the fruit resembled the bright green tennis balls that fly up and down the court. Frances Tiafoe, who heads into the semifinals at the U.S. Open this week, likes to enjoy a Honey Deuce on his down time. "The list of legends who have their name on the cup is also one of my favorite things about a Honey Deuce," Tiafoe tells Esquire. |

Edelman's drive to be as big and thoughtful and strange as possible led him to what has become his career-shifting success, the show Just for Us. It builds around Edelman's Orthodox Jewish upbringing—his full name, as he rattles off during the show is "Dovid Yosef Shimon ben Elazer Reuven Alexander Halevi Edelman"—and his very Alex-like decision to covertly crash a meeting of white nationalists in Queens. He performed the show over and over again in the UK and in small New York theaters, fine-tuning it with his late friend Adam Brace. Slowly and painstakingly, they turned it from a machine-gun-like barrage of punchlines into a nuanced but still joke-filled exploration of faith and empathy and those things that bind us. "That show took fucking years," he says. And in the end, Just for Us became an unlikely and massive hit on Broadway, won Edelman a special Tony Award, and was filmed for HBO. |
