In November 2014, 13 members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past 40 years; it was the one constant in what had become a hectic, scrutinized, and overscheduled life. The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold.

It's been 50 years since JFK’s assassination and nearly 20 since Ronald Reagan disappeared from public life. While they never ran head-to-head, they developed their legacies in competing ways and those legacies battle each other even today. The story of one illuminates the other, and explains our expectations for the presidency and whom we elect. Even though one is the model Democrat and the other the model Republican, their appeal is now bipartisan.

O dia em que conheci Brilhante Ustra, de Alexandre Solnik, relata a prisão do autor, no dia 4 de setembro de 1973, seu encarceramento por 45 dias e sua soltura, sem nenhuma explicação, depois desse período em que viveu os horrores de testemunhar violências e torturas contra presos políticos.

Kakay não tem vários andares em um prédio, com salas entupidas com 100 ou 200 advogados.

Bismarck’s use of statesmanship to fight for the interests of his country was legendary.
