He’s been in Pointe à la Hache, Louisiana, interviewing Isaac (the reliably superb Rob Morgan), a crab fisherman whose modest (giản dị) home contains a photograph — the photograph — he took of his lost love, Christina (the brilliant and heart-stopping Chanté Adams), a photographer who left him to pursue a career in the Big Apple. As the long arm of coincidence would have it, the recently deceased Christina is being honored by an art show in New York curated by none other than Mae, who has secrets of her own.

During this year's Festival, the long arm of coincidence stretched (duỗi ra) further than the aesthetics of dismemberment (chia cắt) commended by both Dali and Magritte. The artists' works were on a temporary exhibition in the National Gallery, as if Judit specifically ordered it for the eyes of her guests. 

People found themselves drawing a comparison between the 1992 World Cup and the current World Cup, as the green team was ready to take on the undefeatable (bất bại) New Zealand. In the 1992 Cup, Pakistan faced the formidable (ghê gớm) opponent New Zealand with an all but similar situation, with the Kiwis on a winning streak. The Kiwis lost to Pakistan and the match was played on Wednesday. Call it the long arm of coincidence or term it the repeating of history, Pakistan secured the victory in 2019 by 6 wickets after 27 years, thereby repeating history.

The long arm of coincidence. It’s just another one of those amazing coincidences and a harbinger (báo hiệu) of things to come in the United States. It was the news that Democracy’s greatest champion in Europe, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a Trump wannabe (muốn trở thành ai đó), was presiding (chủ tọa) over a parliament last June that was drafting anti-immigrant legislation.
