When we talk about changing the world, we usually think of all of humanity. But I was thinking that sometimes changing the world means changing the world of a group of people or one person, just their world. We transform their lives in a positive way.

The author, Jeff Weiss, ably plumbs the spirit in the late Dr. Thompson's monumental valediction to the 1972 presidential election, which remains the finest passage in the history of modern American political journalism: This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay ba...

Weekend reading: I wrote about the MAGA government siding with the German Neo-Nazi party. They share the same enemy: liberal democracy.
What a moment in U.S. history.
