I’ve been traveling in America, that poor beleaguered superpower, for the last week or so. This is a postcard for you from the war. I left Brooklyn, New York, a week ago. On January 10, 2024, James Madison High School, up the road from where we are staying, had been commandeered by New York City’s

Educating folks on government and politics has been the bulk of my life’s work, and it was such a joy teaching students, most of whom were eager to learn, contemplate, and discuss important issues.
