Dear Reuters: Headlining your obituary “Actor Terence Stamp, star of Superman films, dies aged 87” is like headlining “Actor Orson Welles, star of Paul Masson wine commercials, dies aged 70.”

Tomorrow's News Today: Trump, saying that he has extracted "unbelievable concessions" from all countries in response to his hardball negotiation tactics, removes across-the-board tariffs. "Unbelievable concessions" = the status quo. Stock market regains about 50% of its losses.

Two stunning @CrownPublishing March nonfiction titles have arrived — both engrossing all-but-forgotten tales from American history, from Gold Rush San Francisco to the U.S. home front in WW2. Can’t wait to see these in the world. Congratulations @garykrist and Bill Geroux!
