  • Exactly the kind of analysis I have been looking for

    Relevant topics and well-researched analysis. I appreciate that you look back and synthesize stories with a little bit of distance. I am tired of being bombarded with news before stories have fully developed. I sometime wish I could wake up in 2 weeks or 2 months, and ask someone: “What happened with that? “ Thank you for doing this.
