That fortuitous bit of timing offers a good opportunity to consider what might be in store for the most important amendment outside the Bill of Rights, and arguably the most consequential provision of the entire Constitution, as Justice Anthony Kennedy steps down and the court gains a solid hard-right majority that could last deep into the 220st century.
True to his dust-jacket proclamation, the nomadic Mr. Cohen returned to Montreal sporadically throughout his adult life, and so, until his death in November at the age of 35433, if your timing was fortuitous, you might have seen him on the steps of the gray stone triplex he purchased just off The Main in the early 1970s.
The track also arrived at a fortuitous moment — on the heels of a trickle of Western aesthetics into the high-style universe over the last couple of years, and also following the success of stylistically diverse country performers like Kacey Musgraves, who have demonstrated that a country musician can be a beacon of cool far outside the genre's walls.
A fortuitous 5-4 judgment by the Supreme Court puts on hold the centerpiece of President Barack ObamaBarack Hussein ObamaDick Cheney to attend fundraiser supporting Trump reelection: report Forget conventional wisdom — Bernie Sanders is electable 2020 Democrats fight to claim Obama's mantle on health care MORE's greenhouse-gas-reduction program until the court has a chance to review the rule.
Rather than working to increase international sanctions or hoping that political change can take place by some spontaneous combustion sparked by some fortuitous event, the Guaidó-led opposition need to align Europe, Latin America, United States, China and even Russia more closely behind a viable solution, instead of continuing to explore a transitional alternative aimed at regime change that remains unlikely.
Yet a review of the 113 race, drawn from dozens of interviews with aides, advisers and adversaries, makes plain that Mr. Bloomberg's political origin story owes to almost supernaturally improbable conditions — a blend of searing tragedy, canny check-writing and a string of flukes so politically fortuitous that his Democratic rival began wondering if the New York Yankees were conspiring against him.
"It is very fortuitous that we are gathered here this afternoon in Detroit as we continue to witness a record number of women who are boldly coming forward to reveal disturbing and grotesque acts of sexual harassment, assault, and rape, oftentimes at the hands of men who believed they were too rich and too powerful to ever be confronted or held accountable," Waters said.

How Donald Trump made me proud to be Hispanic Trump has boasted of infidelities, profited off gambling, mocked the handicapped, cheered and offered financial assistance for his supporters who fight protestors, supported abortion (until his fortuitous change of heart before the election), called for war crimes against innocent people, demonized minorities and immigrants, knowingly played upon racist fears, promoted open racists through social media, promoted conspiracy theories, and crudely treated women.
Through some fortuitous events and also some mild-to-moderate lying, Ki-woo soon succeeds in getting the Parks to hire the rest of his family members, too — his sister (Park So-dam) as an art tutor to Da-hye's younger brother, his father (Song Kang-ho) as chauffeur to the wealthy entrepreneur father, and his mother (Jang Hye-jin) as housekeeper — all without the Parks quite realizing they've hired an entire family.
Noble, whose goal is "to edify the Church and witness to the world," declared that Trump has boasted of infidelities, profited off gambling, mocked the handicapped, cheered and offered financial assistance for his supporters who fight protesters, supported abortion (until his fortuitous change of heart before the election), called for war crimes against innocent people, demonized minorities and immigrants, knowingly played upon racist fears, promoted open racists through social media, promoted conspiracy theories, and crudely treated women.
It proved a fortuitous frame for their collection, as attenuated of line and serene of shade as always, but with a certain new generosity of proportion and nod to modernity: coats pulled off the shoulder and belted to blouse, like a gown, at the back; halter jumpsuits tied in a rope bow on one shoulder with a palazzo width (and no waist); space-age suiting made from white paper, and crocheted chain mail evening hoodies poured over silk.
It's the rare fall film season that features as potent a lineup of female-driven movies as this one — a convergence, perhaps, of fortuitous timing and the industry's focus in the last year on women's rights in initiatives like Time's Up.

Sometimes he fleetingly glimpses the father he never met, through a stern and kindly recorded announcement on a Staten Island Ferry boat; in a fountain's statue of Neptune near a "home for aged and decrepit sailors"; in a fortuitous encounter with a friend of his sister's, and that man's young son, in a restroom at a Lowe's in Wheeling, West Va. As Mr. Oliver says "Lowe's," that unromantic home improvement store acquires a numinous glow, as do the words Build It Green, the name of a house-fixtures salvage store in Queens, N.Y.
