Every spring, Carfax chief marketing officer Nakul Goyal eagerly awaits his favorite WhatsApp notification. It’s a mango alert.
“The moment a new shipment gets announced, I literally stop whatever I’m doing,” said the self-described “mango fan.”
Welcome to Indian mango season in America, when a devoted and slightly unhinged community descends into a collective frenzy over a delicacy that most of their neighbors have never tasted.
They track flight arrivals like anxious parents. They drive to warehouses and parking lots at odd hours. They flash IDs and walk away clutching crates like they’ve just collected treasure from a Swiss vault.
Walk into any American grocery store and the mango on offer is almost certainly from Mexico. At around $10 a box, it’s affordable and available year-round. But Indian mango devotees swear it’s essentially a different fruit.
“South American mango basically screwed up the mango,” says Bhaskar Savani, who has been importing Indian mangoes since the day a U.S. ban was lifted and the first fruit arrived in 2007. “It tastes like a raw potato.”
Indian mango—Alphonso from Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri coast, Kesar from Gujarat, Chausa and Langra from the north, Banganapalli from the south—is richer, sweeter and fiercely seasonal.
It’s priced accordingly. A box, usually holding 10-12 mangoes, runs $50 to $60 this season. That’s up from $40 to $45 last year, a jump importers attribute largely to tariff uncertainty and rising airfreight costs due to the Iran war.

A cruise ship outbreak has renewed interest in hantavirus, a rare but lethal virus with no cure.

Three people are dead and several others are ill after a suspected hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean, the World Health Organization said Sunday.
While hantavirus doesn’t normally spread between humans, the exception is a strain of the virus primarily found in Chile and Argentina, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is crucial because the high-end cruise to exotic locales departed April 1 from one of the most southern cities in South America, a port in Argentina known as the end of the world, and hantavirus has a weekslong incubation period.

Ted Turner, the swashbuckling media titan who helped shape the modern cable-television industry, ushering in the era of 24-hour news with CNN while building other major networks that bear his name, died Wednesday at age 87, according to a spokesman.
Adventurous and impulsive, Turner made a mark in many walks of life. He was a sailor, a conservationist who was one of the largest U.S. landowners, and a major philanthropist who helped set a model for generous giving by billionaires.
He was best known for turning the billboard-advertising company he inherited from his father into Turner Broadcasting System, an Atlanta-based television and movie giant that he eventually sold in 1995 to Time Warner. Turner joined the company and stayed with it through its ill-fated January 2000 merger with America Online before leaving in 2003.

Amy Warren’s “mom siren” went off when her seventh-grader in Wichita, Kan., seemed to know too much about Fortnite, a battling-and-shooting videogame he is barred from playing.
When Warren signed into his school Google account, she was aghast: Her son Ben had accessed more than 13,000 YouTube videos during school hours from December 2024 through February 2025, according to viewing data she provided The Wall Street Journal.
His feed was rife with inappropriate content. Videos glorifying gun culture, asking about silencers on Nerf guns, “head shots” where children realistically portray being killed, a video with sexually explicit jokes about neighbors sleeping together.
“It made me cry,” Warren said. She later ran for school board and won in November, eager to galvanize change.
American public schools are awash in YouTube. According to more than 45 families, school administrators, clinicians and educators across the country interviewed by the Journal, schools’ overreliance on the Google-owned platform for educational content has created a gateway for students to get sucked into an infinite scroll of videos on school-issued devices.
The concern about YouTube arrives during a crisis in education. American math and reading scores have slid to their lowest point in decades. Many educators, families and learning scientists say they can no longer blame pandemic learning loss; the decline has coincided with a dramatic increase in school screen time, turbocharged by the embrace of 1:1 devices by more than 88% of public schools, according to government survey data. YouTube and Meta recently lost a landmark social-media addiction trial, with a jury finding the companies negligent for operating products that harmed children. YouTube said it’s appealing the ruling.
YouTube says school administrators control what students watch at school, and it supports districts deciding what’s best for their children. But some districts and teachers said Google’s tools and content filters haven’t met their needs for a variety of reasons.
