He’s Crafty: How George Downing Kept His Head
Today, Sir George Downing is remembered, if at all, for the street and row of brick houses in London that bear his name. This happens to be the address of Britain’s prime ministers, the place where the cabinet meets and where the organs of the British state are meant to be held accountable to the will of the people. It is a great irony then, and perhaps mildly appropriate, that Downing the man was as cynical and traitorous a figure as the 17th century ever produced. Winston Churchill, while residing in his edificial legacy nearly three centuries later, would remember him unflatteringly as “a profiteering contractor.” All but forgotten however are the elaborate contours of Downing’s career: spy, diplomat, financier, parliamentarian, early New Englander, and member of Harvard’s first graduating class.

Guests of the Nation
For evidence of a so-called cultural vibe shift, the pendulum swing away from the extreme sensitivity and irrational wokeness of the preceding decade, look no further than Lionel Shriver’s new novel, A Better Life, a blunt but layered—and entertaining—depiction of America’s once-lax immigration policies.

No One Is Alone, Except Maybe Stephen Sondheim
Despite favoring sometimes-ghastly subjects, overly calculated lyrics, and eminently unhummable music, composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim was something of a conservative when it came to acknowledging his forebears. In Sondheim’s case, that chiefly meant lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, who gladly accepted the role of substitute father to the boy then known as Stevie—a comprehensively unhappy child of divorce—and even more eagerly agreed to school him in musical-making. That he wanted to make musicals in the first place is a testament to the outsized influence of Hammerstein, who, with composer Richard Rodgers, created such masterpieces as Oklahoma! and South Pacific.

How to Handle Your Out-of-Control Ivy
That video of congresswoman Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York, grilling college presidents about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated their university policies—and the college presidents responding that it depended on the context—has been viewed more than a billion times, making it what the jacket copy of her new book calls “the most-watched congressional hearing in history.”
