The birth of the American mall in the 1950s ushered in a new era of shopping. But have you ever wondered why malls don’t have windows? It’s all part of a carefully constructed strategy to get people to stay longer and spend more. Here’s what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart. • Millions of people across the US are still trudging through a record-setting heat wave that is shifting to the Mid-Atlantic, while many Americans – including in New Mexico, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota – contend with “catastrophic” flash flooding this weekend.• The Supreme Court upheld a federal law that bars guns for domestic abusers, rejecting an argument pressed by gun rights groups that the prohibition violated the Second Amendment. The 8-1 decision limited the scope of a blockbuster ruling the justices handed down just two years ago.• A fourth victim died following a shooting at a grocery store in Arkansas, authorities said, as police continued to investigate the attack. A man opened fire at the Mad Butcher in Fordyce, killing four people and wounding nine others.• Detained American Paul Whelan marked another grim milestone this week as he surpassed 2,000 days in Russian custody and urged the Biden administration to take “decisive action” to bring him and American journalist Evan Gershkovich home.• The Washington Post said that Robert Winnett, the British journalist who had been slated to take over as the newspaper’s top editor, will no longer join the publication that has been ensnared in a weekslong crisis over ethics questions. MondayJune 24 marks two years since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion and setting off a fierce fight for reproductive rights at the state level. Here’s what has happened since then. TuesdayFour states will hold nonpresidential primaries: Colorado, New York, South Carolina (runoff) and Utah. In Colorado, there will also be a special election to fill the seat of Republican Rep. Ken Buck, who resigned from Congress in March. Buck, a hardline conservative who clashed with his own party at times, told CNN at the time that Congress “has just devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people.” The candidates in the special election will not be running for a full term, however, and will instead complete Buck’s unexpired term. WednesdayGershkovich will stand trial behind closed doors in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg, the state-run news agency TASS reported last week, citing the court’s press service. Gershkovich, 32, has been imprisoned since he was arrested on a reporting trip in March 2023 by Russia’s federal security service, which accused him of trying to obtain state secrets. Gershkovich, the US government and his employer, the Wall Street Journal, have vehemently denied the charges against him. If convicted, Gershkovich faces up to 20 years in prison.
