President Biden is holding his first state dinner Thursday night at the White House, to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron. But more than a time to wine and dine, the visit will be an opportunity for the two presidents to discuss a number of critical issues.

• Plus, promising results for a new Alzheimer’s drug.
• And, how Boomers are making inflation worse.
