A Great Man in Moscow

When the Trump administration obtained an indictment of Edward Snowden for violation of the Espionage Act of 1917, many of us who believe that the Fourth Amendment means what it says were deeply critical of the government, and we remain so today.

Terms For A Ceasefire

By JOSH HAMMER Just as the Israel Defense Forces encircle the Hamas stronghold of Gaza City, calls for a “ceasefire” are accelerating.

He sprinkles the crushed, colorful glass onto a template of his own design before baking the powder-coated pane at nearly 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit for almost an entire day. Once cooled, a translucent, stained-glass image emerges. “The light, with the glass, moves you to the core,” said Quagliata, an 81-year-old master of his craft, on a recent day at his studio in Valle de Bravo, near Mexico City. “It’s profound.” Over the last five decades, Quagliata has created these stained-glass ...
