Trump's first trip: Can he offer leadership on both security and values? Posted: 19 May 2017 01:12 PM PDT For national security adviser H.R. McMaster, President Trump's first overseas trip is about proclaiming the return of America's global leadership. The president's nine-day, five-country trip to the Middle East and Europe, which begins Friday, will "reverse a trend of America's disengagement from the world and from the world's biggest problems," Lt. Gen. McMaster said recently. The challenge Mr. Trump faces, however, is that the leaders he will meet with and the publics he'll address in the two regions he'll visit are looking for different things from America and will have very different aspirations for US leadership.

Cassette comeback: For fans, 'a yearning for something you can hold' Posted: 19 May 2017 12:53 PM PDT Like the original, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is endearingly retro. The hero Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) cherishes a vintage Sony Walkman and his mixtape of 1970s pop gems such as "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" from the band Looking Glass. Cassette sales are up by 82 percent for the year, and even Top 40 hitmaker Justin Bieber is releasing albums on tape.

What path forward for the GOP agenda? Posted: 19 May 2017 10:49 AM PDT The window for Republicans in Congress to make significant progress on their agenda is closing fast, and a disorganized and crisis-riddled White House is not helping. At all.

Last show for Ringling: Why it’s not really the end of the circus Posted: 19 May 2017 10:02 AM PDT On May 21 the circus long promoted as "The Greatest Show on Earth" is closing down with a final performance in Uniondale, N.Y. – attended by no small dose of bittersweet nostalgia from fans and the media. Richard Bukowski can tell you. To many, the demise of Ringling – a circus that defined the word for a century and half – seems unfathomable.
