Tips for taking advantage of Samsung trade-in and financing offers
Most smartphone companies make you trade in a phone from their own brand to earn a trade-in credit, but Samsung’s trade-in program is different. When making a smartphone purchase from Samsung’s website, you can trade-in any eligible smartphone, tablet or smartwatch — from almost any brand. And Samsung will even accept devices with a cracked display (but it won’t be appraised at the same value as a fully operational and undamaged device).
Plus, even if you don’t have a device to trade in, you can finance your new smartphone either with four equal installments (with a payment made every two weeks), or with an equal monthly payment over 24 months. From the purchase screen for any Samsung phone, scroll down to the choose-your-purchase option heading and click on the “compare all options” link to review your options.

COVER STORY: The story of Handel’s “Messiah”
Since its premiere in 1742, George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah,” a 3.5-hour work for chorus, soloists and orchestra that includes the “Hallelujah Chorus,” has become one of the most-heard pieces of classical music on Earth. Correspondent David Pogue looks back on the creation of this masterwork with author Charles King and conductor-musicologist Jane Glover, and examines how Biblical passages assembled by a wealthy English landowner suffering from doom and despair would, in the hands of the German-British opera composer, become a timeless message of hope, and a Christmas tradition.

ARTS: In Asheville, N.C., gingerbread houses reflect community spirit
For more than three decades, Asheville, North Carolina, has hosted the National Gingerbread Contest, a celebration of Christmas, creativity and carbohydrates. The flooding brought by Hurricane Helene this past fall cancelled the contest, but what had been a destination event for bakers and spectators has become an ad hoc celebration of Asheville. Forty-one gingerbread creations have been placed around town to help bring holiday cheer (as well as attract donations and tourist dollars) to the struggling city. Correspondent Conor Knight reports.

MOVIES: Werner Herzog keeps working, predicts: “You have to carry me out from a set feet first”
Visionary director Werner Herzog has made more than 20 feature films and more than 30 documentaries. But it wasn’t movies that prompted the German-born filmmaker to move to Los Angeles; it was love. He talks with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about his recent memoir, “Every Man for Himself and God Against All”; about the epic making of his 1982 classic, “Fitzcarraldo”; and why he enjoys acting – when he gets to play the villain.

COMMENTARY: Bob Dylan’s enduring love affair with the movies
The iconic Bob Dylan has long been a silver screen presence – as an actor, a subject of documentaries, and as portrayed by Hollywood heavyweights, from Christian Bale to Timothée Chalamet (star of the new biopic “A Complete Unknown”). But as historian Douglas Brinkley points out, Dylan’s love of movies has been a recurring theme in his art, and his persona, all his life.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed a lawsuit Thursday against a former aide who alleged he sexually harassed her in 2020. His legal filing came just days after she withdrew her own lawsuit against him.
In the filing, Cuomo’s lawyers claimed Charlotte Bennett, a former executive assistant in his office, lied about him making sexual advances toward her.
“Governor Cuomo did not make any sexual advances toward Bennett and did not sexually harass her,” his lawyers wrote in a notice filed in New York state court on Thursday.
Bennett was the second woman to accuse the then-governor of sexual harassment, which she said included telling her he was “lonely” and asking her if she would be open to sex with an older man. She described Cuomo as “a textbook abuser” who made her “deeply uncomfortable.”
After Bennett went public with her allegations in March 2021, Cuomo held a press conference where he said he felt “embarrassed” and that he “never knew at the time I was making anyone feel uncomfortable.”
In Thursday’s filing, his lawyers wrote the former governor faced “a cascade of harm” as a result of Bennett’s allegations.
Cuomo resigned in August 2021 after New York’s attorney general released the results of an investigation that concluded he had sexually harassed at least 11 women, including Bennett.
When that investigation came out, Cuomo denied ever sexually harassing women. “The facts are much different than what has been portrayed,” Cuomo said at the time. “I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances.”
Last week, Bennett dropped a separate federal suit she had filed in 2022 accusing Cuomo of sexual harassment. In a statement posted by her attorney on X, Bennett cited “invasive discovery requests” made by Cuomo’s legal team that included her medical records from more than a decade ago.
In their filing today, Cuomo’s attorneys note that their discovery requests fell “under the rules that govern all federal lawsuits. They alleged Bennett dropped her suit to avoid being deposed and to “shield the overwhelming evidence of her false claims from ever becoming public.”
Cuomo’s notice said “Bennett’s claims were … exposed as a sham through the discovery process.”
As part of her statement last week, an attorney for Bennett said she would still be pursuing a case against the state of New York, her employer at the time of the alleged harassment. In a separate statement, Bennett called Cuomo’s legal filings “abusive.”
“Throughout this extraordinarily painful two-year case, I’ve many times believed that I’d be better off dead than endure more of his litigation abuse, which has caused extraordinary pain and expense to my family and friends,” Bennett said. “I desperately need to live my life.”
