Today, as in the past, California sees itself seen as a beacon of hope, as the last Promised Land in the United States. That’s how it’s been since 1849, when the world rushed in for gold. The state’s rulers welcomed the so-called Argonauts, as well as subsequent generations of other Americans: Midwesterners lured by our warm climate, suburbanites who bought up tract housing and joined the defense industry, sports franchises who wanted to leave the cold East, tech giants in Silicon Valley, and others.

In October 2016, Vanity Fair made a video of four of its cartoonists—Edward Sorel, Steve Brodner, Philip Burke, and Robert Risko—drawing Donald Trump. They were clearly enjoying themselves, exploring every aspect of his physique: his “girth,” the fact that “there’s so much of him” (Burke); the hair that is “essentially a beret that is flipped forward on his head” (Risko); the eyes that show “greed, disdain” (Burke); the “marvelously ratlike” nose (Brodner); the mouth...

I could not be prouder of the students around the nation who organized a peaceful march and articulate rally.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A crowd of students and adult supporters rallied in front of the Alaska Capitol Wednesday to draw attention to school safety. Bianca Eagan, a senior at Juneau-Douglas High School, says students want to know if they are safe in their classrooms. It's a discussion she says students haven't had yet with school administrators.

BERLIN — Angela Merkel is embarking on her fourth term as German chancellor in stormy times, facing pressure to bolster a fractious European Union and prove that liberal democracy can succeed as she faces a trade standoff with an increasingly protectionist U.S. and a confident China and Russia. Merkel, chancellor since 2005 and the EU’s longest-serving leader, was sworn in Wednesday at the head of a “grand coalition” of Germany’s biggest parties. That put an end to nearly six months of drift after September’s election... Читать дальше...
