For the past 15 years, as the country has frayed at its patriotic seams, the photographer Jeremiah Murphy spent hours capturing the beauty of a deeply American sport: rodeo. See more of his photographs: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/PvHkwX

Remembering Dick Kneip this morning, the 92nd anniversary of his birthday. Dick was a good man and a good governor. As George Cunningham said, ″He pulled state government, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century. Instead of just bringing in political hacks, he brought in professionalism.″
