Toxic Politics
Yanzhong Huang
Read @wrmead’s excellent review of the important new book “Toxic Politics” by @YanzhongHuang of @CFR_org. Better yet, read the book, which connects China’s environmental policy & the country’s health, its economy, and its politics. https://t.co/22TxzyQdxY

The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam
Barbara W. Tuchman
Good discussion on Saudi Arabia on @Morning_Joe. The Kingdom acting contrary to its self-interest consistent w the theme of Barbara Tuchman’s The March of Folly. US-Saudi ties will come to resemble US ties with Turkey & become coldly transactional https://t.co/hzsNuikYEV

The Great Experiment: Why Diverse Democracies Fall Apart and How They Can Endure
Yascha Mounk
First time in the 101 years of @CFR_org that the question asked whether a hot dog is a sandwich. I say not, as sandwich requires horizontal, parallel bread. But points to @Yascha_Mounk for raising it while launching his new book "The Great Experiment". https://t.co/4dor2gDQi1

Who by Fire: War, Atonement, and the Resurrection of Leonard Cohen
Matti Friedman
It has been a Leonard Cohen weekend (other than the heat & golf). Saw the powerful film "Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song," & listened to @bariweiss fascinating convo w Matti Friedman, author of "Who By Fire," on @thehonestlypod. Authentic is what comes to mind.

The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens
Richard Haass
Mother’s Day just a week away. Few better ways to say “I Love You Mom” (or to say “I love you” to the mother of your children) than to give her a copy of “The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens”: https://t.co/28JuwS2dYp
