Harris’s Hope: Getting Right-Leaning Voters to Shift to the Left

Democrats see a narrow opening to peel away center-right voters bothered by abortion bans and by the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Letter from Washington Why McConnell Dumped Trump After the Capitol assault—and after losing his perch as Majority Leader—the senator finally denounced the outgoing President. Was it a moral reckoning or yet another act of political self-interest? By Jane Mayer

Bodies age. Bodies die. Sculptures, sometimes, endure. A decade ago in Venice, before “Boy With Frog” was removed, the Pinault team installed guards and motion detectors around the nude child with the dangling amphibian, and even plopped a Plexiglas box on him at night to keep away vandals. Back then, the sculpture had to remain pristine in order to be perfect.

“Autumn Leaves”

Plop the live lobster into boiling water and let it scream.
You both turn red.
Of course you have to eat it dead.
There can be unfertilized roe
That will turn red also, maliciously delicious, called coral.
The colder the ocean waters the lobster came from, the sweeter
The meat boiled in the brain of heat.

The lobster at the end is as incontinent as falling leaves and doesn’t know.
