Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Be sure to do something nice for yourself this weekend instead of doom scrolling. Read a good book. Play board games with a loved one. Scream into a cave. Sort your doomsday seeds by season. Whisper the names of your enemies into the wicked ear of Crzthlach, the First God. Make a sourdough starter.
