Turkey and Israel: Is a Collision Becoming Inevitable?

The farther the story of Israel’s strikes in Syria unfolds, the less it looks like a conventional contest for influence. Israel has, in effect, drawn a line for Turkey: This is as far as Ankara can go. The latest strike on the Abu Duhur air base in northern Syria, coming hours after a Turkish delegation […]

The Backwards Clock

The first thing I did in Tokyo was get lost. The labyrinth of Shinjuku Station swallowed me whole, the moment the train doors slid open with a soft, quiet sigh of sympathy. A massive river of people lifts you up and carries you through subterranean passageways, illuminated by endless billboards. You dissolve into this current […]

Who’s Raking it in as the National Debt Explodes?

What the wealthy and powerful — and Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent — don’t want you to know. The U.S. national debt has officially surpassed $40 trillion, months earlier than forecasters had expected — because of billions of dollars in lost revenue from Trump’s invalidated tariffs, Trump’s tax cuts (mostly to big corporations and the very […]

Is it possible to be loyal to Trump and preserve one’s integrity? There’s been a lot of discussion this past week about the meaning of integrity. You didn’t hear the word used directly; it was alluded to indirectly — in wondering whether Lindsey Graham was an immoral opportunist or clever pragmatist; in suspecting Todd Blanche […]

A Childhood Filled with Ancient Mysteries

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, but when I was nine years old, my life changed dramatically. Up on the top shelf of a closet, I discovered a mysterious old book. Its pages were loose and worn, and its black-and-white illustrations beckoned me toward distant, enigmatic lands. It was King […]

Modern Relevance of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky sets the events of his Brothers Karamazov in the style of Greek Tragedy. At least the events concerning Fyodor Karamazov, the father of all Karamazov’s brothers. Throughout the novel, Fyodor is on the collision course. All he does is challenging invisible hand of justice, pushing further and further into moral black hole. He rapes […]

Madama Butterfly and the Japan of the Western Imagination

It is fascinating that Madama Butterfly, or Cio-Cio-San, has long been regarded as one of the most “Japanese” of European operas. Yet, in reality, it tells us far more about Western perceptions of Japan at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries than about Japan itself. The same can be said, in a different […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance.
