I WEAR A SLIGHT variation of the same thing every day: a dark-blue suit, a white shirt, and a dark-blue tie. Occasionally I go to the gray suit, and occasionally I go to a patterned tie. I got this from President Obama, who tended to wear something similar every day. When I asked him about it, he said, "It's another five minutes in my day that I get back, because I'm not spending time thinking about What am I going to wear today?"
MY SUIT BRAND is a state secret.
A LOT OF THE STORIES I heard at the dinner table were about America as that last beacon of hope. That wasn't mythology. It was a reality for so many of my family members. My paternal grandfather came here fleeing pogroms in Russia; my stepmother fled communists in Hungary, literally in the dead of night on the train as a young girl with her mother; and my stepfather was a Holocaust survivor.
MY FATHER WENT OFF TO THE ARMY AIR CORPS in World War II at the age of nineteen, left college after his freshman year. He was part of a generation that tended to speak less and do more. He didn't necessarily wear his emotions on his sleeve. What he tried to instill is, given the choice, he takes workhorse over show horse.

Now Trump is back on the ballot, and the pressure is mounting from all sides. Can he once again deliver a fair election?Brad Raffensperger is rattling off statistics while we wait. It's just after 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, May 21, and the Georgia secretary of state is standing outside a small conference room in an underground bunker on the east side of Atlanta, where he and his staff gather on election days. A couple dozen workers are spread around an open seating area, quietly fielding phone calls and staring at their computer monitors.
