Thank you. Some ideas for your summer: For the long view, see the Big History Project, the writings of Jeffrey Sachs (at Columbia), Yuval Harari's "Sapiens," and Will and Ariel Durant's "The Lessons of History." For a point of view that may be a little different than yours, subscribe to Heather Cox Richardson's daily letter (fashioned on "Letters from an American Farmer"). If you can get to George Will (he might be behind a WaPo firewall), he's a long-time conservative on the warpath right now. (He spoke at Gettsyburg last fall and, behind the scenes, he just wants to talk baseball. His "Men at Work" is a classic!) And when your brain gets tired, try Jill Lepore's new podcast, The Last Archive, which focuses on the history of evidence but gets to questions about how we know what is true and what is not. And keep writing!</p>
