There will be 83 candles on the cake and much to celebrate. Woodward has had a long, productive, and admirable life as a newspaperman and author. For more than half a century, he has worked at the Washington Post, so it is understandable that he is “crushed” by recent developments at the paper. More than 300 journalists employed there have been laid off in recent days, including reporters in India and the Middle East. Its weekly book section is also getting the ol’ heave-ho.

UK Special Coverage Britain’s Two-Tier Justice Problem Native-born Brits are at the bottom of the UK’s legal privilege hierarchy. UK Special Coverage One of the most urgent and wounding criticisms of the British regime to emerge in recent years is that the justice system we live under is “two-tier.” Today, it seems increasingly obvious to much of the public that minorities and those on the left are treated far more favorably by the law than those who are white or on the right. Readers may be familiar with the case of Northamptonshire childminder Lucy Connolly , which has emerged as the paradigmatic example of this unfair treatment.  Distraught on the night of the Southport murders in July 2024, when a second-generation Rwandan…Open
