“Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
The question, popularized when Ronald Reagan asked it in a 1980 presidential debate against President Jimmy Carter, was crafted by David Gergen, the legendary political insider who died Thursday.

‘Are you better off?’ David Gergen’s famous question still shapes elections.
Gergen, who died this week, helped craft a key question Ronald Reagan asked during his 1980 campaign. Several candidates since have asked the same question.

During the First World War, Louis and Antoinette Thuillier created thousands of glass negatives containing photographs of soldiers. The digitized images are astonishingly clear: you can read the date of a newspaper folded on a lap.

I’m reading The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in ages. There’s such an earnest loveliness to the writing, of a kind you don’t really see anymore. It’s sad to say, but I think if someone wrote a book like this in 2025, it would be lambasted as overly sentimental and “cringe.”

You elect a sexual predator whose closest friend was a child rapist and you doubted he was in on the action? Now you’re surprised that he doesn’t want any new evidence of his involvement to get out? Really?
