The creators of the western drama based on the life of a Black deputy U.S. marshal were inspired by the challenge of filling in the lost history of the famous lawman.

Congrats to Sweden & Finland & NATO. Now for my own personal tragedy: Russia so disgusts me I know I won't ever embrace some of my favorite books the way I once did. The New Criticism train has jumped the rails and run over me.
