A grandiose bully’s perfect farewell song

‘Autocrat’ doesn’t quite say it
We were reading from Masha Gessen’s Surviving Autocracy, a book that has appeared at exactly the right time: If politicians, journalists, and even kitchen-table debaters adopted the habit of defining their terms, we would understand each other better — and … Continue reading
Out with the old knave, in with the new
