Germany's Alexander Zverev defeated America's Ben Shelton in four sets Sunday to win the U.S. Open, extending a two-decade drought since an American man last hoisted the trophy in Queens. Zverev, 29, dismantled Shelton 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, collecting $5.5 million in prize money and a Tiffany & Co. trophy presented by American tennis great Jimmy Connors. The win gave Zverev his second Grand Slam title, following his French Open victory in June, and capped a dominant run through the draw in which he did not drop a set after the second round. For Shelton, 23 and appearing in his first Grand Slam final, the loss stung, but the University of Florida product handled it with uncommon grace. No American man has…Open

The assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University triggered a months-long doxing campaign that turned friends, co-workers, and neighbors against one another, and the divide it opened shows no sign of closing.

Chimpanzees nursing wounds, ants performing amputations on nestmates, a growing body of research into animal self-medication suggests the natural world has been practicing medicine far longer than we have, and researchers believe it could reshape how humans discover new treatments. NPR's Short Wave podcast devoted a recent episode to the phenomenon, bringing on freelance science journalist Mandy Nguyen to walk through what scientists have learned since Western researchers first started documenting the behavior in the late 1980s. The episode, published September 11, traces a line from early observations of chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania to more recent discoveries, including ants that appear to amputate the injured…Open

Actress Gillian Anderson sat down with NPR's Rachel Martin to discuss her pivot from playing cool, cerebral women on screen to publishing books that ask real women to bare their deepest desires, a shift she says one particular role made unavoidable. The episode of Wild Card with Rachel Martin, released September 10 , runs just over 45 minutes and centers on Anderson's acting career and her two books exploring female sexual fantasy.

The follow-up, More: Sexual Fantasies by Anonymous, continued the project. Martin framed the interview around a contradiction in Anderson's…Open
