| Good morning. |
| Here's what you need to know: |
| • Democrats clash over jobs. |
| Bernie Sanders confronted Hillary Clinton over trade, welfare reform and Wall Street in a Sunday night debate in Flint, Mich., in the hopes of hurting her chances among Rust Belt Democrats, who vote in primaries this week and next. |
| Who won? | Highlights | Takeaways | Transcript | Video |
| Mr. Sanders, who is facing intense pressure to slow Mrs. Clinton's momentum and cut into her large delegate advantage, added Maine to wins on Saturday in Kansas and Nebraska, while Mrs. Clinton won in Louisiana. |
| • Republicans' civil war. |
| Money is pouring in as establishment Republicans do all they can to halt Donald J. Trump's march to the nomination. |
| They're emboldened by Ted Cruz's two decisive victories in Maine and Kansas on Saturday. Marco Rubio won in Puerto Rico. |
| But Mr. Trump triumphed in Kentucky and Louisiana, maintaining his lead in the delegate count. |
| • The migrant crisis. |
| European Union leaders meet today in Brussels for a conference aimed at persuading Turkey to slow the uncontrolled flow of migrants making perilous journeys across the Aegean Sea. |
| At the same time, NATO is expanding its efforts to stop the smugglers who make many of those journeys possible. |
| • Nancy Reagan dies at 94. |
| As a trusted adviser to Ronald Reagan, she was a fierce guardian of her husband's image and supported efforts to fight drug abuse and Alzheimer's disease. Mrs. Reagan will be buried next to her husband at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. |
| We also remember the best-selling novelist Pat Conroy; the face of tennis, Bud Collins; and the eminent conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt. |

| South Korea and the U.S. have begun their joint military exercises, which involve 17,000 American and 300,000 South Korean troops. |

| • News versus privacy. |
| A jury trial opens today in St. Petersburg, Fla., between Hulk Hogan, the wrestler and reality TV star, and Gawker, a popular news website that he is suing for $100 million for publishing a video of him having sex with the wife of a friend. |
| Legal scholars say the case raises important and largely unresolved questions about the line between privacy and free expression in the Internet era. |

Back Story
|
| A year ago this week a jury found that Robin Thicke's 2013 song "Blurred Lines" had copied from Marvin Gaye's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up." |
| While he and Pharrell Williams, his co-writer, were ordered to pay millions to Gaye's family, the effect on the music industry remains unclear. |
| What's clearer is the lasting effect of a copyright case decided on this day in 1994, when the Supreme Court handed a unanimous victory to the rap group 2 Live Crew. |
| The ruling established that parody can qualify as fair use, protected under federal copyright law. |
| The rappers, known for their bawdy lyrics, had created a version of the 1964 Roy Orbison hit "Oh, Pretty Woman." |
| The songs' similarities were clear, but there was a big difference: Orbison's song recounted a man admiring a woman; the rap version disparaged her. |
| The company that owned Orbison's song sued for copyright infringement, noting that the rappers gained financially from the song. |
| Writing for the court, Justice David H. Souter said the song's commercial nature was not enough by itself to render the imitation unfair. |
| He also noted, "We might not assign a high rank to the parodic element here," but that it could reasonably be viewed as parody. And for the art form to work, it requires some borrowing. |
