Bush’s aides are praying for a miracle, but so far all they’ve got is Ross Perot. The Texas billionaire’s latest flirtation with presidential politics has the Bush campaign hoping, wishfully perhaps, that he can scramble the race. “Maybe it will be like we’re starting from scratch,” says a senior official. The Bush campaign is on its knees begging for Perot’s supporters. On Monday, when Perotistas from around the country gather in Dallas to await word from the leader, they will be wooed by a Bush delegation worthy of greeting a head of state....

Crossing the border between the U.S. and Canada has been limited to essential travelers only during the pandemic, potentially posing a significant problem since teams are located in both countries.

A few years ago, during one of my visits home, I noticed the photo was gone. At least the trailer was still parked out front. For more than 25 years it commanded the driveway of my parents’ home.

But it’s the trilogy’s longest act that will hit home most forcefully. ‘America and the Holocaust: Deceit and Indifference" (April 6) indicts the administration of Franklin Roosevelt as an accomplice in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of European Jews. The 90-minute documentary, part of PBS’s “The American Experience” series, makes a convincing case that the State Department gleaned Hitler’s plans for the Jews as early as 1938. Yet as the stream of likely victims seeking U....

In reality, these protests are nothing like the Tiananmen protests of thirty years ago. Instead, they reflect growing political discontent in Hong Kong, but not necessarily across China. At the same time, however, Xi cannot view them with equanimity. The recent protests broke out because the bill raised the specter of arbitrary extradition of citizens to the PRC.
