How Rosty Could Beat The Rap

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: The case you will hear has taken years to come to trial. But if 1994 seems like ancient history, consider that much of the government’s case dates to the early 1970s, almost a quarter century ago. How could the statutes of limitations not have expired on charges about someone cutting grass in 1976 or photographing a wedding in 1977?

How The U.S. Israel Partnership Is Tackling China Opinion

One issue that Biden didn’t appear to discuss with Israeli officials, however, was China. Yet that topic is enormously consequential to the health of the long-standing strategic partnership between the two countries. That’s because recent years have seen Jerusalem’s ties to Beijing blossom—and in ways that have become a bone of contention in its relationship with Washington. The issue emerged as a major item on the bilateral agenda during the tenure of President Donald Trump, as American views on China changed and policymakers in Washington became convinced of the need to pursue “great power competition” with Beijing....
