    Delighted to contribute to this magazine that I admire, with a piece that moves between 1900 & the ‘60s. & exolores intersections between the lives of Pearl Buck & Lao She (drawing on letters each wrote to the same New York literary agent) cc

    The August issue—Nikki Haley's racial opportunism; the struggle for education inside a juvenile detention home; the BJP and the Shiv Sena's dharmayudh in Maharashtra; the story of China’s first almost Nobel literature laureate; and more.

    "Listening to Trump, it was as if Franklin Roosevelt had announced after Pearl Harbor: 'Hey, both sides are to blame. Our battleships in Hawaii were a little provocative to Japan — and, by the way, I had nothing to do with the causes for their attack.'”

    I keep thinking of my interview with nationalist Wang Xiaodong last July in Beijing. He said: “My position has basically been realized… We won. Maybe I didn’t win personally, but our ideas won.”

    After everything I’ve read about immigrant children separated from their parents, this paragraph in today’s piece is still shocking. The children in some facilities are “heavily dosed with psychiatric drugs” in order to treat their depression and anxiety?

    Scott Pruitt repeatedly asked his 25-year-old staffers to put hotel reservations on their personal credit cards rather than his -- then refused to pay them back. Breathtaking.

    In Charlottesville, plans for a white nationalist rally MAY be thwarted by a petting-zoo party called "Festival of the Schmestival," which asked for a permit for the same park on the same day.

    This is the literal definition of losing global leadership. The International Organization for Migration has been led by an American for almost all of 67-year history. The agency just rejected Trump's nominee for chief, because of his anti-Muslim tweets.

    Extending the pattern I’ve heard in a lot of agencies: appointees are delibaretely seeking to avoid disclosure by 1) muddying records requests or 2) avoiding email. No idea which this is, but probably both.

    According to Scott Pruitt’s official accounts, he’s only written ONE email to anyone outside the EPA during his first 10 months in office. Where are his emails? Is he trying to conceal something from the public record?

    “Staffers leaving the White House grounds semi-regularly catch passersby flipping them the bird.” On dates, young Trump appointees hide their employment. “I’ll just say I work for the federal government,” says a White House aide.
