How the British decoded Enigma messages during WWII is not really the point of my column today, but for those who are interested, War of Shadows, by Gershom Gorenberg, is a great read and, among other things, an accessible account of that achievement. https://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/gershom-gorenberg/war-of-shadows/9781549186400/

Just finished "Tightrope" by Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Such a good book: Both sweeping and intimate in its portrait of all that has gone wrong for lower-income Americans. I guess I'm a year late, but it's really good. https://t.co/AOzKY1hUYY
