WHAT IF -- WAIT, HEAR ME OUT -- DEMOCRATS AREN'T DOOMED?
John Harris -- the founding editor of Politico and a one-time Mark Halperin collaborator -- believes, shockingly, that Democrats who are arguing in favor of bold progressive ideas might have found a formula for success: Put a bunch of Democrats on the stage and they can’t help but go off the rails: They compete with each other to win the favor of liberal activists, and saddle themselves with unrealistic positions that could leave a nominee vulnerable in the general election. That was a prevailing Washington media and political class narrative after the first round of Democratic deba...more »

Trying (and Failing) to Put Kaiser Wilhelm II on Trial
PDF version. A review of William A. Schabas, “The Trial of the Kaiser” (Oxford UP, 2018) *** It was a getaway to be made in style. On armistice eve, at last resigned to Germany’s defeat in World War I, Kaiser Wilhelm II fled his headquarters in Belgium on a blue-and-gold imperial train. In search of refuge, he was Netherlands-bound, courtiers and imperial trappings in tow. The pomp and circumstance did not last the journey, however. A few kilometers on, fear of mutinous troops spooked the kaiser into relocating to an unmarked automobile. He made it to neutral Dutch soil before th... more »
