My new book, "Broken Engagement," with interviews of top China policy makers is like a conversation across administrations about engaging with China, competing with China and, more recently, defending against China.

Heartbroken, Israeli author David Grossman, who has written movingly of the pain inflicted on Israelis by war, calls Gaza war a 'genocide.’ He says reoccupying Gaza would be madness that would lead to deaths among the settlers and their defenders.

A lovely exit column by a fine journalist. So lucky to have been able to make a comfortable living by stringing sentences together. Me too.
