** Good Evening,
------------------------------------------------------------
It's Wednesday, October 10th.

Note: The Evening will be “gone fishin’” on Thursday, October 11.

** Biggest Decline
------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. stocks suffered their biggest decline in more than seven months today, as investors accelerated their retreat from fast-growing technology stocks in favor of shares that have been overlooked. And as the
Wall Street Journal’s Corrie Driebusch reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/quickening-retreat-from-tech-sinks-market-1539199786?mod=article_inline&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4ce44463a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_10_07_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4ce44463a2-145367789) , one of the factors contributing to the market decline is that trade tensions between the U.S. and China appear to be worsening.

Plus, as CNBC reports (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/10/trade-tensions-could-trigger-another-global-financial-crisis-imf.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4ce44463a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_10_07_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4ce44463a2-145367789) , the IMF warns that risks are building up in the global financial system, and a further escalation in trade tensions could push the situation over the edge.

** Chinese Official Arrested
------------------------------------------------------------
A Chinese intelligence official was arrested in Belgium and brought to the United States to face espionage charges, Justice Department officials said today, in a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on Chinese spying, as the
New York Times’ Katie Benner reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/10/us/politics/china-spy-espionage-arrest.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4ce44463a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_10_07_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4ce44463a2-145367789) .

** Inter-Korean Pact
------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has expressed “discontent” with an inter-Korean military pact reached during last month’s summit, South Korea’s foreign minister said today, in a rare disclosure of signs of disagreement with its U.S. ally, as Reuters’ Hyonhee Shin reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa-southkorea/south-korea-says-pompeo-complained-about-inter-korean-military-pact-idUSKCN1MK21Q?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4ce44463a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_10_07_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4ce44463a2-145367789) .

** New Treasury Rules on Foreign Deals Involving U.S. Tech
------------------------------------------------------------
Treasury officials today issued new rules requiring all foreign investors in certain deals involving critical U.S. technology to submit to national-security reviews or face fines as high as the value of their proposed transactions, as the WSJ’s Kate O’Keeffe reports (https://www.wsj.com/articles/treasury-spells-out-new-rules-on-foreign-deals-involving-u-s-technology-1539172876?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4ce44463a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_10_07_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4ce44463a2-145367789) .

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
I can’t get the Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga remake of “A Star is Born” out of my head. I saw it the other night and it had the kind of impact on me that pictures in the ‘70s and ‘80s did—when movies like “Saturday Night Fever” captured the cultural zeitgeist. And I think that people are talking about “A Star is Born” in the way that they used to in the era when movies were on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Most people I know have seen “A Star is Born” or can’t wait to see it.

Lady Gaga’s performance in this film is mesmerizing. And her already iconic music has never sounded better. The country-rock that Gaga first ventured into with her record “Joanne” goes into overdrive on the “A Star is Born” soundtrack. Willie Nelson’s son Lukas Nelson produced or co-wrote nine songs on the soundtrack and appears on-screen with his backing band Promise of the Real.

Natalie Hemby, Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna, three of country music’s best writers, co-wrote “Always Remember Us This Way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voo86mlxZvA&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=4ce44463a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_10_07_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-4ce44463a2-145367789) ” and sang backup on it for Gaga. To me this song stands out in a movie soundtrack that should prove to stand the test of time.
