2024 China is in a funk. Many people lack the confidence to spend or invest, and do not quite understand what has gone wrong. Senior officials cannot acknowledge this, because power is so centralised in one man.

歷史對克倫威爾並不友善。五個世紀以來，他一直被描繪成一個陰險狡詐的自我吹捧者——毫不誇張地說，他的肖像畫是所有肖像畫中最醜陋的。歷史研究者中那些比較陰險的人嘲笑曼特爾對克倫威爾的解讀是“修正主義”，但考慮到歷史是由勝利者書寫的，而克倫威爾最終被埋葬在了籃子裡，曼特爾的解讀就和其他版本一樣合理了。

Brazil, a Nation Left in Despair
By JERÉ LONGMAN
Playing without Neymar and Thiago Silva, Brazil collapsed against a rampaging Germany in Tuesday’s World Cup semifinal, sending the entire country into a funk.
MADISON, a liberal college town that doubles as the capital of a politically complicated state, pulls its disparate elements together into a spirited reality all its own, a funky amalgam of hard-partying students, socially conscious activists, sports fans, outdoor warriors, politicos from both sides of the aisle, artists, foodies and more.
