The world was denied the opportunity to hear President Donald Trump’s address to the White House Correspondents’ Association in April, after an armed man attempted to breach the event’s security.

He didn’t celebrate those things much at all, as VF’s White House correspondent Aidan McLaughlin reports.
Fueled by the righteous indignation Aidan’s story will surely bring, maybe you’ll decide to get something done in the yard? It’s Saturday, after all! Before you grab the weed wacker, take a look at Elise Taylor’s investigation into Hamptons landscaping, which will either inspire or distract you enough to think twice about going out in this heat.
Also hot? Charli XCX’s new album, as examined by Maxwell Adler, and comedian Cat Cohen, who spoke with VF’s Kase Wickman about the stroke she experienced at age 31. More tomorrow!

It was her haven until April 2006, when three masked intruders held Bass and her artist companion, Julian Lethbridge, captive for one terrifying night. VF’s Michael Shnayerson investigates.
