ALBANY, N.Y: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo disclosed Monday that he was paid a $3.1 million advance to write his COVID-19 leadership book last year and under his publishing contract will make another $2 million on the memoir over the next two years. That total windfall of more than $5.1 million further inflamed critics who have said it was inappropriate for Cuomo to personally enrich himself with a self-congratulatory book, published just as the state was seeing a deadly resurgence in infections last October.

The 91-year-old is considered Germany s most eminent contemporary philosopher.
BERLIN: The prominent German philosopher Juergen Habermas said Sunday he will not accept a high-priced literary award from the United Arab Emirates, reversing an earlier decision. The 91-year-old, who is considered Germany s most eminent contemporary philosopher, told the German news site Spiegel Online that I declared my willingness to accept this year s Sheikh Zayed Book Award. That was a wrong decision, which I correct hereby. In the statement, which his publisher Suhrkamp Verlag passed on to Spiegel Online, Habermas added I didn t sufficiently make clear to myself the very close connection of the institution, which awards these prizes in Abu Dhabi, with the existing political system there.
