- “Skepticism Grows Over Israel’s Ability to Dismantle Hamas Israel has vowed time and again to eliminate the group responsible for the brutal Oct. 7 attack, but critics increasingly see that goal as unrealistic or even impossible.” NY Times
- “Faced with big and challenging problems — climate, immigration, inequality, guns, debt and deficits — government and politicians seem incapable of achieving consensus. On each of those issues, the public is split, often bitterly. But on each, there are also areas of agreement. What’s broken is the will of those in power to see past the divisions enough to reach compromise.” Washington Post [Ed. From 8/18/23 but republished as one of the Stories of the Year.]
