The new PBS Masterpiece series Marble Hall Murders is a sumptuously filmed “cozy” with an unthreatening structural complexity. The Viking Cruises crowd will eat it up with a Christofle spoon.

Dogs bark, ducks quack, and populists offer free stuff. Enrique Pena Nieto dispensed around 10 million TV sets to low-income Mexican households. Hugo Chavez gave Venezuelans steeply discounted refrigerators, air conditioning units, and, again, TV sets.

During Donald Trump’s first run for the presidency, China, the economic behemoth that was gutting America’s manufacturing base and flexing its muscles in East Asia, was his favorite punching bag.

When a Democratic-run city surrenders to crime, you end up with many bleak situations, such as the mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, boasting about falling asleep to a “lullaby of bullets.” Perhaps no city is a bleaker representation of a crime collapse than Baltimore, Maryland.
Freshly inaugurated Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says Chicago is a welcoming place for illegal immigrants, but he also says that helping illegal immigrants reach his sanctuary city is cruel and evil.
A spokesperson for Prince Harry says that he and his wife Meghan suffered a "near catastrophic car chase" in New York City on Tuesday evening. The spokesperson said that the chase was provoked by paparazzi who followed the couple and Meghan's mother without regard for traffic laws.
