The police in New York on Thursday said they were looking into claims that Russell Simmons, the co-founder of the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam, had a history of violent sexual misconduct after mounting reports accusing him of rape.

A law enforcement official said that the Police Department was conducting a preliminary investigation into the allegations and was eager to hear from victims. But it was unclear whether any suspected conduct could be prosecuted because it was said to have occurred so long ago and was outside the statute of limitations, the source said. (As of 2006, New York State no longer has a statute of limitations on rape in the first degree and several other serious sexual offenses.)

“The N.Y.P.D. has received information regarding allegations involving Russell Simmons in the N.Y.C. area and our detectives are in the process of reviewing that information,” J. Peter Donald, assistant commissioner in the department’s public relations office, said in a statement.

A power failure at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday disrupted operations at the busiest airport in the world, forcing the cancellation of more than 1,150 departing or arriving flights and stranding travelers on planes on the tarmac for hours, the authorities and passengers said.

The power failure at the airport, a major hub for domestic and international flights, sent a ripple of disruptions across the country, affecting flights in Chicago, Los Angeles and elsewhere. There were signs the problems would linger into Monday, as Delta Air Lines announced Sunday evening that it planned to cancel 300 flights the next day.

Many flights in the air were diverted when the power went out, and the United States Customs and Border Protection said on Twitter that international flights destined for Atlanta were rerouted to other airports.

Most of the half-million or more vehicles damaged after Harvey and Irma will be headed to the scrapheap — but thousands more could wind up on the used car market, often in states far away, where buyers may not suspect they’d been damaged until it’s too late.

Vehicles that have been submerged, especially in salt water, can experience serious problems, though not always immediately. But there are ways to protect yourself if you’ll be in the market for a previously owned vehicle.

Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for Cox Automotive, has estimated up to 500,000 were damaged by Hurricane Harvey, most by flood waters. That would be nearly twice as many as were destroyed following Superstorm Sandy, and about 2.5 times more than the number of vehicles wrecked by Hurricane Katrina, according to Louisiana State Police.

This woman plays the theremin — an instrument that is played without being touched.

The theremin was one of the first electric instruments and it was invented in 1919. How do you play it? The upright antenna controls the pitch, and the closer your hand gets, the higher the pitch.
