csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2022/0406/Biden-administration-to-extend-freeze-on-student-loan-payments
Quick Glance: The Biden administration will prolong the moratorium on student loan payments.
- After being halted since the beginning of the pandemic, student loan payments were set to resume on May 1.

- The Trump administration prolonged the halt twice, and Mr. Biden extended it twice more.
- It's unclear whether Mr. Biden will pursue widespread debt forgiveness in order to cut the nation's student debt.

Quick Glance: Rachel Zegler Is Clearly in Need of an Oscar Outfit
- Last weekend, actress Rachel Zegler took to Instagram to reveal that she had been denied an invitation to the Academy Awards, despite the fact that West Side Story, in which Zegler stars, was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture.
- Now, the Academy appears to have corrected its error and invited Zegler to be an Oscar presenter.
- She and West Side Story co-stars Ariana DeBose and Mike Faist attended the BAFTAs and the Critics Choice Awards earlier this month.
- Of course, not every cast member of an Oscar-nominated film is invited, but not inviting Zegler was a particularly bizarre decision.
