Steven Mnuchin's wife strikes a pose with a sheet of money

Louise Linton, the wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, looks thrilled that her husband's signature made it onto the dollar bill.

Linton and Mnuchin posed with sheets of new $1 bills on Wednesday at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C. The notes are the first to feature Mnuchin's signature, along with that of U.S. Treasurer Jovita Carranza, and are expected to enter circulation in December.
Linton was widely criticized earlier this year when she posted a photo on Instagram that showed her stepping off a government plane. She flaunted her designer wardrobe by tagging the designers she was wearing, then argued with a commenter who criticized her "getaway."
The photo kicked off an investigation into Mnuchin's use of government planes.
The Treasury Department's inspector general ultimately found no evidence of wrongdoing, but said the Trump administration had cut corners during the approval process for Mnuchin's trips.
 On Wednesday, social media lit up with jokes about the wealthy couple's photo shoot. Before he joined the Trump team, Mnuchin worked in finance, with stints as a Goldman Sachs banker and Hollywood movie producer. Linton is an actress.
The couple married over the summer, and they live in a D.C. mansion.

But the tensions in the Middle East have raised the prospect of disruptions of crude oil supply, though the price of Brent was steady yesterday at $63 per barrel, close to its two-year high. Speaking yesterday at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition Conference (ADIPEC), al-Mazroui said his prediction was that OPEC would continue to do what it would take to rebalance the market. He added that while he had not heard a...

Why Russia produces (and quashes) so much radical art

By
Why Russia produces (and quashes) so much radical art tists have always held a special place in Russian society. My father, the playwright Alexander Guelman, was well known in the 1970s and was once lauded by Mikhail Gorbachev as the father of perestroika , the movement for reform within the Communist Party. At that time, theater was changing the perceptions of an entire generation. During the period of glasnost ("openness") in the mid-1980s, restrictions on forbidden books were relaxed . This newly available literature allowed people to evaluate society in ways that had previously been suppressed by communist propaganda. The return of the great writer  Alexander Solzhenitsyn  from exile in 1994 became symbolic of a new era. But by this time, rock music had taken over the roles previously held by theater and literature. The creativity of acts like Mashina Vremeni, Boris Grebenshikov and DDT led the charge for a new, open world. The whole country knew the lyrics by K...
