The FT uses new NBER work to show how sharply the American CEO class has aged since 2000: the average chief executive is now 61, and the average appointment age has moved from just under 48 to 55. The stronger point is not demographic trivia, but board behavior. In a more complex, uncertain market, companies seem to be paying up for generalist experience, lower firm risk and steadier reporting quality.

Cleveland at Detroit was the overnight playoff game in the Vienna morning window, a Game 5 in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Wikihoops context points to real playoff tension, so this is a reasonable replay candidate if Robert wants one game with the morning coffee.

The NYT frames Revolution Medicines' daraxonrasib as a targeted-cancer story that matters beyond one pancreatic-cancer readout. KRAS was long treated as nearly undruggable, and a pan-RAS approach with phase 3 survival data now turns that biology into a regulatory and platform question. The broader implication is lung and colorectal cancer: if this class travels, the commercial story gets much bigger than one difficult tumor type.

The NYT profiles theoretical cosmologist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein around her second pop-science book, making the story a human science lead rather than another paper note. The appeal is the range: physics as cosmic structure, language, identity and public explanation. It gives the section a useful reminder that science communication can be intellectually serious without becoming sterile.

Der FALTER-Kinderslot bleibt der beste Wochenendfilter für Familien, diesmal mit einem klaren Haken: Wien ist in der ESC-Woche, und das Wochenende ab 16. Mai braucht einfache, wetterfeste Optionen. Der praktische Dreh ist nicht ein einzelnes Highlight, sondern ein Plan aus Musik, Mitmachen und kurzen Wegen. Für Samstag und Sonntag lohnt vor allem, die ESC-Angebote mit einem fixen Indoor-Backup zu kombinieren.
