In Rosenstein's personal saga, signs of the course of Russia investigationThis week Rod Rosenstein may finally face the grim prospect of a face-to-face meeting with President Trump to explain something many Trump supporters consider wholly inexplicable. According to a recent New York Times report, in May of 2017, Mr. Rosenstein, the newly installed deputy attorney general, allegedly suggested to senior FBI and Justice Department officials that he might wear a concealed recording device to gather evidence against the president. Rosenstein has said the New York Times report was inaccurate, and his defenders said his comments about wearing a wire were made in jest.

A trade accord that can mend North American tiesA great cloud of uncertainty has been lifted over the massive North American economy.

Positive views of the US in Mexico and Canada have plummeted, jeopardizing relations on a host of security and other noneconomic issues.

If so, we've just seen a dramatic retreat from so-called American exceptionalism: the belief that the idea is special, and that America's democratic experiment has given it a role to inspire others around the world. While the speech was entirely consistent with his "America First" credo, the wider shift of which it's a part could have real-world consequences.


In Iran, artist ‘survivors’ navigate obstacles, foreign and domestic

In Iran, artist 'survivors' navigate obstacles, foreign and domesticInside her downtown studio, Iranian artist Rene Saheb is surrounded by the tools of her craft: a multicolored riot of art supplies, and a number of large, unfinished canvases upon which she explores her psyche – and the state of Iran's. One painting, still unfinished after years of work, reflects how the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s continues to effect everyday lives of Iranians, from the ubiquitous presence of "martyrs" to daily vocabulary. Iran's legions of creative artists have served as a window into the state of the country's deeply simmering cultural scene since long before the 1979 Islamic revolution.
