Doris Day, the freckle-facedmovie actress whose irrepressiblepersonality and golden voicemade her America’s top box-officestar in the early 1960s, died onMonday at her home in CarmelValley, Calif. She was 97.

The Doris Day Animal Founda-tion announced her death.

Ms. Day began her career as abig-band vocalist, and she wassuccessful almost from the start:One of her first records, “Senti-mental Journey,” released in 1945,sold more than a million copies,and she went on to have numerousother hits. The bandleader LesBrown, with whom she sang forseveral years, once said, “As asinger Doris belongs in the com-pany of Bing Crosby and Frank Si-natra.”

But it was the movies that madeher a star.

Between “Romance on the HighSeas” in 1948 and “With Six YouGet Eggroll” in 1968, she starredin nearly 40 movies. On the screen

she turned from the perky girlnext door in the 1950s to the wom-an next door in a series of 1960ssex comedies that brought herfour first-place rankings in the

yearly popularity poll of theaterowners, an accomplishmentequaled by no other actress ex-cept Shirley Temple.

In the 1950s she starred, and

most often sang, in comedies(“Teacher’s Pet,” “The Tunnel ofLove”), musicals (“CalamityJane,” “April in Paris,” “The Paja-ma Game”) and melodramas(“Young Man With a Horn,” theAlfred Hitchcock thriller “TheMan Who Knew Too Much,” “LoveMe or Leave Me”).

James Cagney, her co-star in“Love Me or Leave Me,” said Ms.Day had “the ability to project thesimple, direct statement of a sim-ple, direct idea without clutteringit.” He compared her performanceto Laurette Taylor’s in “The GlassMenagerie” on Broadway in 1945,widely hailed as one of the great-est performances ever given byan American actor.

She went on to appear in “Pil-low Talk” (1959), “Lover ComeBack” (1961) and “That Touch ofMink” (1962), fast-paced com-edies in which she fended off theadvances of Rock Hudson (in thefirst two films) and Cary Grant (inthe third). Those movies, often de-rided today as examples of the re-pressed sexuality of the ’50s, were

Investors are dealing with apainful new reality: The trade warbetween the United States andChina could last indefinitely.

That anxiety spread across thestock markets on Monday, as in-vestors around the world tried todivine the potential fallout to eco-nomic growth and corporate prof-its. Bonds and commodities, too,flashed warnings of a slowdown.

The stock losses have broughtan end to a recent calm that hadsettled over Wall Street. Formonths, investors had assumedthat the trade war, a major hazardfor the global economy, would endsoon. Just weeks ago, the S&P 500reached a record high.

That illusion has been shat-tered, as concerns mount aboutslowing growth and rising costs.China said on Monday that itwould increase tariffs on nearly$60 billion of goods, in response toa similar move last week by theTrump administration.

The S&P 500 fell 2.4 percent onMonday. It was the Americanstock benchmark’s worst daysince early January. In all, theS&P 500 is down 4.6 percent inMay.

The drop continued early Tues-day as the trading day began inAsia, with stocks opening mostlylower. But futures markets sug-gested Wall Street would openhigher.

Companies in trade-sensitivesectors like agriculture and semi-conductor manufacturing wereparticularly hard hit. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite indexfell 3.4 percent, its worst decline in2019.

The selling has come even asthe American economy continuesto show significant momentum: Itexpanded at a robust 3.2 percentannual rate in the first threemonths of the year. In April, un-

ALSTON, England — It was notuntil Trevor Robinson received aletter notifying him of a missedappointment at the hospital thathe realized he had not spoken toanother human being in morethan six weeks.

Mr. Robinson, a 77-year-old re-tired landscape gardener, hadspent most of that time alone, sit-ting in his favorite frayed leatherrecliner looking out the window atthe moorland surrounding his cot-tage in the northwestern Englishcounty of Cumbria.

“When you spend every secondby yourself, you lose track oftime,” he said as tears trickleddown his face. “I feel lonely, verylonely, and bored.”

Mr. Robinson’s isolation, sharedby thousands of older people inBritain, is the result of a chain ofcause-and-effect that stretchesfrom rural Cumbria to the halls ofpower in London. He used to ride asubsidized bus to town until the lo-cal council discontinued the route.The council was responding to

steep budget cutbacks stemmingfrom the Conservative-led gov-ernment’s decade-long austerityprogram.

Even as austerity has slicedthrough nearly every aspect ofBritish life, the government hasprotected high-profile benefits forolder people, and it has raised thestate pension on a more generousbasis than previous administra-tions.

But a free bus pass is of little useif buses no longer reach you, andmany retired people have discov-ered that apparently minor cuts —the elimination of a bus route, orthe closing of a tiny health carecenter, community center or postoffice — can profoundly upendtheir lives.

The effects are especially pro-nounced in rural areas. The isola-tion of older residents there hasemerged as one of the greatest,and largely hidden, costs of localcouncils’ straitened budgets, with

WASHINGTON — At a meet-ing of President Trump’s top na-tional security aides last Thurs-day, Acting Defense SecretaryPatrick Shanahan presented anupdated military plan that envi-sions sending as many as 120,000troops to the Middle East shouldIran attack American forces or ac-celerate work on nuclear weap-ons, administration officials said.

The revisions were ordered byhard-liners led by John R. Bolton,Mr. Trump’s national security ad-viser. They do not call for a land in-vasion of Iran, which would re-quire vastly more troops, officialssaid.

The development reflects theinfluence of Mr. Bolton, one of theadministration’s most virulentIran hawks, whose push for con-frontation with Tehran was ig-nored more than a decade ago byPresident George W. Bush.

It is highly uncertain whetherMr. Trump, who has sought to dis-entangle the United States fromAfghanistan and Syria, ultimatelywould send so many Americanforces back to the Middle East.

It is also unclear whether thepresident has been briefed on thenumber of troops or other detailsin the plans. On Monday, askedabout if he was seeking regimechange in Iran, Mr. Trump said:“We’ll see what happens withIran. If they do anything, it wouldbe a very bad mistake.”

There are sharp divisions in theadministration over how to re-spond to Iran at a time when ten-sions are rising about Iran’s nucle-ar policy and its intentions in theMiddle East.

Some senior American officialssaid the plans, even at a very pre-liminary stage, show how danger-ous the threat from Iran has be-come. Others, who are urging adiplomatic resolution to the cur-rent tensions, said it amounts to ascare tactic to warn Iran againstnew aggressions.

WASHINGTON — The UnitedStates and China intensified theirtrade dispute on Monday, as Bei-jing said it would increase tariffson nearly $60 billion worth ofAmerican goods and the Trumpadministration detailed plans totax nearly every sneaker, comput-er, dress and handbag that Chinaexports to the United States.

The escalation thrust theworld’s two largest economiesback into confrontation. WhilePresident Trump said on Mondaythat he would meet with China’spresident, Xi Jinping, next monthin Japan, the stakes are only in-creasing as the president contin-ues to taunt and threaten China,causing it to retaliate on Americanbusinesses.

Financial markets fell on Mon-day after China detailed plans toincrease tariffs, with the S&P 500index down more than 2.4 percentfor the day and more than 4 per-cent this month. Shares of compa-nies particularly dependent ontrade with China, including Appleand Boeing, fared poorly, andyields on three-month Treasurysecurities exceeded those on 10-year bonds, a sign that investorsmay be souring on the outlook forshort-term economic growth.

China’s Finance Ministry an-nounced Monday that it was rais-ing tariffs on a wide range ofAmerican goods to 20 percent or25 percent from 10 percent. The in-crease will affect the roughly $60billion in American imports al-ready being taxed as retaliationfor Mr. Trump’s previous round oftariffs, including beer, wine, swim-suits, shirts and liquefied naturalgas exported to China.

The move came after Mr.Trump increased tariffs on $200billion of Chinese goods to asmuch as 25 percent on Friday andthreatened to move ahead withtaxing the remainder of goodsthat the United States importsfrom China. The Office of the

An Unproven Therapy

WASHINGTON — The Su-preme Court on Monday allowedan enormous antitrust class ac-tion against Apple to move for-ward, saying consumers shouldbe allowed to try to prove that thetechnology giant had used mo-nopoly power to raise the prices ofiPhone apps.

The lawsuit is in its earlystages, and it must overcomeother legal hurdles. But the casebrings the most direct legal chal-lenge in the United States to theclout that Apple has built up

through its App Store. And itraises questions about how thecompany has wielded that power,amid a wave of anti-tech senti-ment that has also prompted con-cerns about the dominance ofother tech behemoths such asFacebook and Amazon.

The court’s 5-to-4 vote featuredan unusual alignment of justices,with President Trump’s two ap-pointees on opposite sides. JusticeBrett M. Kavanaugh, who joinedthe court in October, wrote the ma-
