ONCE AGAIN, Turkey faces political turmoil. Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), was detained on March 19 and then formally arrested on March 23.

Turkey's declining democracy

He stands accused of a host of poorly evidenced charges: “establishing and managing a criminal organization, taking bribes, extortion, unlawfully recording personal data and rigging a tender.” Imamoglu, who called the charges a “black stain on our democracy,” has also been suspended from his position as mayor. If convicted, as is expected, he will not be allowed to run for President.

Despite this, the CHP, which says the arrest is politically motivated, held its previously scheduled primary and named Imamoglu as its presidential candidate for the 2028 election. Meanwhile, protests continue to rock Turkey.

Police have moved quickly to contain them in Istanbul, the largest city; Ankara, the capital; Izmir; and other cities around the country.

Caroline Fraser The Pulitzer Prize-winning author on her new book about serial killers, the Pacific Northwest, and toxic chemicals

Your last book was a biography of Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder. How do you go from that to serial killers? I was born and raised in Seattle and remember growing up with the presence of Ted Bundy. Even though I wasn’t touched by the case directly, having it happen so close was a big deal. Bundy kidnapped and killed two women on the same Sunday afternoon from Lake Sammamish— just six miles from me. It was all anybody could talk about. And then there were so many others...

Moving forward from anguishwith laughs

AT THEIR BEST, MOVIES CAN BE SUBTLE EX-pressions of feelings we’ve had but can’t fully articulate. Besides, when it comes to feelings, articulation might be overrated: one of the functions of art is to explore the undefinable, and sometimes it’s a relief to let a movie do some of the emotional heavy lifting for us.

When religion was forced on Americans

BEFORE THE AMERICAN REVOLU-tion, many colonies had established churches supported with tax dollars or imposed religious restrictions on voting or holding office. There was no separation of church and state. In Virginia, the most populous colony, everyone paid a tax to support the Anglican Church, which controlled marriage, poor relief, and care of orphans, and enforced laws regarding profanity and church attendance. If religious dissenters died leaving young children, Anglican officials would often place them in an Anglican home. Dissenters who failed to attend Anglican services regularly were often fined.

The Risk Report

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN Poland delivered the latest anti-incumbent surprise in what has been a tough period for establishment candidates the world over. The right-wing populist Karol Nawrocki, a historian with no political experience, won a narrow victory in a June 1 runoff vote over a candidate aligned with the centrist Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his plans for closer European integration. Nawrocki will take office on Aug. 6. Tusk must now buckle up for a bumpy ride.
