Trump putting Iran war on hold until after midterm elections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s not unusual for a war to affect an American election. But it’s highly unusual for an American election to affect a war. Yet that’s apparently the remarkable phenomenon at play while the war between Iran and the United States remains in a quiet phase even as the U.S. midterm-election campaign enters its most contested period. Last week, President Donald Trump said he didn’t expect a peace agreement until after the elections, scheduled for Nov. 3. Over the weekend there were fresh indications
Trump uses UN address to threaten and deride foes and allies alike, as usual (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The appearance of the American President before world leaders at the United Nations is one of the set-piece rituals of every autumn. John F. Kennedy used the forum to urge further “peaceful co-operation” with the Soviet Union after the 1963 treaty banning nuclear tests in Earth’s atmosphere, under water and in space. In 1990, George H.W.

It was the kind of silence that had eloquence, the civic equivalent of the John Cage composition when a full orchestra sits in a symphony hall for 4 minutes and 33 seconds without playing their instruments. It was the kind of silence that came after the gasps of horror as the second jetliner, on live television, hit the south tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, 25 years ago. It was the kind of silence that cam
First-ever GOP midterm convention this week could magnify the party’s perils (opens the original)
Read excerpt
U.S. President Donald Trump loves nothing more than a rally, and he’s holding an unusual two-day revival meeting this week as the campaign for the midterm congressional elections enters its final, decisive phase. To the list of things that the Republican Party has never done before, add this one: They are gathering Wednesday and Thursday in the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the GOP’s first-ever midterm political convention. A generation ago, the Democrats – meeting in Kansas City (1974)
