WSJ What’s News - Why Tariff Bills Are Catching Online Shoppers by Surprise
P.M. Edition for Sept. 16. Last month, the Trump administration changed a rule that meant that packages worth $800 or less were subject to tariffs.

Consider This from NPR - Robert Redford was his own kind of Hollywood icon
Robert Redford died early Tuesday morning, according to his publicist. He was 89 years old.
Redford was a golden child of Hollywood, starring in dozens of movies. But he was never content just being an all-American matinee idol.
He became an Oscar-winning director, founded the Sundance Institute and grew the Sundance Film Festival, and advocated for environmental causes before activism became a Hollywood cliche.
Linda Holmes, host of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast, and film critic Bob Mondello look back on Robert Redford’s work and legacy.
