The industry mushroomed as prescription drug spending grew about 200-fold between 1967 and 2021. In addition to negotiating discounts with manufacturers, the PBMs set payment terms for the pharmacies that buy and dispense the drugs to patients. In effect, the...

Throughout his career in opera, baritone Efraín Solís has sung a long list of works steeped in anguish. But he admits that his latest assignment, singing the role of Laurentino in “Cruzar la Cara de la Luna,” moves him in a uniquely personal way.“I feel the responsibility of this character,” Solís explained in a recent interview. “I really want to respect his history, who he represents.
