The SpeechwriterOne summer morning, seven months after he had turned 80, my husband, Dick Goodwin, came down the stairs, clumps of shaving cream on his earlobes, singing, “The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye,” from the musical Oklahoma!“Why so chipper?” I asked.“I had a flash,” he said, looking over the headlines of the three newspapers I had laid out for him on the breakfast table in our home in Concord, Massachusetts. Putting them aside, he started writing down numbers. “Three times eight is 24. Three times 80 is 240.”“Is that your revelation?” I asked.“Look, my 80-year life span occupies more than a third of our republic’s history. That means that our democracy is merely three ‘Goodwins’ long.”I tried to suppress a smile.“Doris, one Goodwin ago, when I was born, we were in the midst of the Great Depression. Pearl Harbor happened on December 7, 1941, my 10th birthday….

2024 Triumph Daytona 660 Review | First RideThe 2024 Triumph Daytona 660 sportbike is powered by a 660cc inline-Triple that makes 95 hp and 51 lb-ft of torque. (Photos courtesy Triumph) In the mid-1990s, when I cut my teeth as a motorcyclist, the Big Four Japanese manufacturers were engaged in a middleweight sportbike arms race. Every other year, each brand unveiled an updated platform, squeezing a few more ponies out of their 599cc inline-Four engine and tweaking frame geometry, suspension systems, and brakes. As a result of this one-upmanship, middleweight sportbikes went from entry-level all-arounders to racebikes with lights and license plates. Which is great, except for the fact that only a small percentage of riders spend weekends wearing down knee pucks at the track. Add to this that a tricked-out middleweight now costs nearly what a liter-class machine does, and we arrive at something of an evolutionary dead end….

A New Police Force Chased a 17-Year-Old Boy to His Death. Then It Vanished.Cruising south down a two-lane highway in Montana, Braven Glenn looked out onto the open road, the evening sky chilly and dark. It was November 24, 2020—half a year into the pandemic and three months after his 17th birthday. He was a good student, on his way to pick up his girlfriend, a basketball player like him, at her house on the Crow Indian Reservation. Most days, Braven took his time while driving; his friends sometimes teased him for staying below the speed limit. But lately he hadn’t been feeling like himself—not since his grandma died from Covid weeks earlier. On this particular night, when a car ahead of him sat at around 60 mph in a 70 mph zone, he signaled and passed it, slowing again to the speed limit after crossing back over the dotted…

How the FISA Reauthorization Bill Could Force Maintenance Workers and Custodians To Become Governmen…Tech companies and First Amendment groups are calling attention to a provision in a domestic spying bill that they say would significantly expand the federal government’s power to snoop on Americans’ digital communications—potentially by forcing employees of private businesses to become informants. The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), a global trade group that represents major tech companies including Google and Microsoft, is calling for last-minute changes to the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), which could get a final vote in the Senate on Friday. The bill’s primary purpose is to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows U.S. intelligence agencies to scoop up communications between Americans and individuals abroad. But the bill also includes a provision that “vastly expands the U.S. government’s warrantless surveillance capabilities, damaging the competitiveness of U.S….

Judge Won’t Force Prosecutors to Give Advance Notice of Witnesses Because Trump Can’t Be Trusted…Judge Juan Merchan ruled that prosecutors will not have to give advance notice of the witness list to Donald Trump’s legal team, because the former president cannot be trusted not to post about them. Trump has spent the week in a Manhattan courtroom as he faces 34 felony counts for falsifying business records regarding alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election — a historic first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president. The jury selection process kicked off on Monday, and Trump has made headlines for reportedly falling asleep three days so far and repeatedly complaining that he does not think he’s getting a fair trial. The ex-president’s grumbling about the gag orders imposed by Merchan and his continued comments have been an ongoing issue during the proceedings thus…
