      <image:caption>Former longtime Washingtonian editor Jack Limpert informs me that this photo-illustration is from the July 1989 Washingtonian. Headline on the piece: "Style Unzipped." The deck: "Twenty Years of Romance, Profanity, Anarchy, and Bitter Profiles: The Inside Story of the Post's Style Section and How It Grew Up." One of the pull quotes: "Nicholas von Hoffman was the first Style columnist to build a following and generate lots of hate mail. 'On a good day,' Ben Bradlee once said, 'Nick could cancel 200 to 300 subscriptions."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Southern Maryland bureau was cute. It had a snack box, which is like a vending machine except that it wasn't a machine. It was a box of candy, and you put coins and dollars in a little cardboard slot. And every week this woman came and collected the money and restocked the box. Provincial!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - The Polaroids of the Cowboy Poet</image:title>
      <image:caption>Chris Earnshaw is an odd and brilliant and sloppy man who vibrates with great joy and grand melancholy. For decades he has ambled through bandstands, major motion pictures and demolition sites, searching for prestige and permanence, all while being ignored on the gray streets of a humdrum capital. “You know, I believe in the inevitability of the spirit,” he says. “I’ve heard about people gripping the rails of their deathbed, thinking the void awaits them. But that can’t be it, can it? There must be something next, something beyond, for all of us. I don’t want my life to end with people not knowing, or people saying, ‘He could’ve been something!’ ” So several years ago, he put rubber bands around some of his photographs.

And if they had been terrorists armed with explosives, intent on mass destruction? That nightmare scenario underlies the government’s response to the intrusion. This is the story of two competing worldviews, of conscience vs. court, of fantasy vs. reality, of history vs. the future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Projects - The war generation</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We are free, and this could not have happened without the U.S. But now we are fighting to grow,” said civil engineer Abdul Ghany, 27, a volunteer organizer. “Not many young people know what they want, exactly.” They do know what they feel. Their country was turned upside down by the American-led invasion in 2003, and now Iraq’s young — their worldview indelibly shaped by a U.S. military presence that ends next month — are preparing to inherit a nation that still struggles to right itself. Some young Iraqis say they are glad to be rid of Saddam Hussein but feel less safe — and therefore less free — than before 2003, a sentiment reflected in dozens of interviews in eight provinces. They view their government as a pseudo-regime that deprives them of basic rights, and they worry that their peers are being lured into the ethnic, sectarian and partisan traps of their elders. They think the world is fixating on revolutions in other Arab countries while ignoring a rotting democracy in Baghdad and their generation’s struggle to live the freedom that was promised to them 8.5 years ago. “Our generation has seen enough,” said Baghdad resident Mustafa Hamza el-Ebadi, 21, who will graduate this spring with a degree in communication and engineering and wants to move to the United States. “When we were kids, there were economic sanctions. When we were teenagers, there were bodies in the street. And now there is no space to live.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a journalist and senior editor at The Atlantic. Hello. For 20 years prior, I was a reporter and then editor at The Washington Post. For a little buffet of my reporting at The Post, scroll past this bio. I covered a variety of stories while on local, national and foreign assignments: from the Oscars to the UN climate conference, from Davos to Fallujah, from Anthony Fauci to Parker Posey. From Iowa during caucus season, to Alaska during a jungle primary, to Paris during the Summer Olympics. To capture what it feels like to be alive right now, I wrote a series of stories on climate change. I’ve also chronicled life in the Trump era, and life in the covid era. Edits at The Atlantic include Caitlin Dickerson’s chronicling of a family that self-deported, Shane Harris’s spy story “The Mystery of Mohammad Tajik,” Ashley Parker’s profile of Rahm Emanuel, Tom Nichols on presidential authority over nuclear weapons, and Alexandra Petri’s experiment in self-governance. My nonfiction book, titled “Almighty,” was based on this Post story, about anti-nuclear activists who broke into a weapons site nicknamed “the Fort Knox of Uranium.” The New York Times called it a “strangely captivating book — dark and utterly frightening.” It’s a great beach read.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>…why is Porter trailed by this cloud of “bad boss” insinuation — and should it matter at all? How can leadership be properly judged in a world built with double standards, and wired with infinite triggers and sensitivities? What is the price of surviving and thriving in politics?

      <image:title>Book - ‘Almighty: Courage, Resistance &amp; Existential Peril in the Nuclear Age’</image:title>
      <image:caption>A nonfiction book about nuclear weapons, the activists who resist them, and the bureaucracy that maintains them. It’s part historical adventure, part courtroom drama, part moral thriller.

      <image:title>Trump - The secretary of commerce is 10th in line for the presidency, which is close enough to be important and far away enough to be complacent.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wilbur Ross, the current secretary, is nearly 82, which is old enough to get away with a nap during business hours and young enough to throw on beach khakis, grab a glass of white wine and observe naked people cocooned in plastic wrap at an arts benefit in the Hamptons. He is a quiet man, smart and generous, but he seems detached from reality: too rich to remember how the real world works, too uninterested in his role as commerce secretary to enact much beyond stasis, mortification or bafflement, according to his critics.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Trump - “With Donald Trump, we can do so much more.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is no official policy or protocol preventing Ginni Thomas from going full MAGA. It's her First Amendment right to fulminate that America is becoming a godless, socialist nightmare and to practice the dark art of political messaging on social media…</image:caption>

      <image:title>Trump - The start of a mad hot American summer in the nation’s capital.</image:title>
      <image:caption>A president violating norm after norm. Immigrant children wailing for their mothers. A Supreme Court seat, open like a wound.  A midterm election hurtling toward us like an avenging angel, or a killer asteroid. The resistance girding for war…</image:caption>

      <image:title>Trump - It is a Tomorrowland state, and Donald Trump is a Coney Island president. This is the California problem in 2017.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The 20th century had the Joads, who saw California as a last resort in John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.” The 21st has the Pfeffermans, who on the TV show “Transparent” inherited California as a trust fund. Now, the only frontier is the next psychosis. A half-century ago Californians clashed with Hell’s Angels at Altamont; now they shout “emoluments!” at congressmen in school gymnasiums.

      <image:title>Trump - ‘I have been completely demonized’</image:title>
      <image:caption>Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his team are somewhere underneath Washington, with their flashlights and pickaxes, while the rest of us remain aboveground, peering at the ominous cumulonimbus around Carter Page, scanning every inopportune grin, every halt in his speech, every bounce of an eyebrow. He's capable of both oversharing and evasion, sometimes in the same breath, and our collective paranoia flares: Is he just a goofball, or is this some kind of act?</image:caption>

      <image:title>People - Haley Lillibridge regards the 571 area code that pops up on her computer, lets her phone ring twice, then picks up. The time is 3 a.m. “This is CrisisLink.”</image:title>

      <image:title>People - “In my country, I lived on my father’s farm, and there you’re working hard, and it’s another kind of life,” says Oswaldo Cruz. “In the city here, it’s not working hard physically. It’s here.” He puts his index finger to his temple.</image:title>

      <image:title>People - Bob Taylor, 81, opens the chamber of his converted accordion-necked 1964 Polaroid 110B camera (heavy as a baby), sticks the not-yet photo under his armpit and smiles at a table of young NASA employees in the backroom of Ben’s Chili Bowl, the fluorescent fun house of U Street.</image:title>

      <image:title>People - Leslie Sturges decapitates a squirming mealworm with her gloved thumb and feeds it with forceps to an injured, .014-ounce Eastern pip­is­trelle bat that probably was creamed by a car. It is a sad, delicate scene.</image:title>

      <image:title>People - The cabbie idles up to the curb outside Whitlow’s in Clarendon, rolls down his window and punches a number into his microphone.. The synthesized piano chords of “Faithfully” crackle over an FM signal on his radio. And he sings like Steve Perry, if Perry were a jolly Filipino man with an endearing but incomplete grasp of English.</image:title>

      <image:title>People - “I don’t wanna die,” Staci says, sucking on a sour-apple Blow Pop while sitting on a concrete flower planter. “I wanna be better than a female. By the time I’m 30 it’ll all be complete.”</image:title>

      <image:title>People - The ambulance roars out of the station. EMT Talia Nachbi drums her hot-pink fingernails on her thigh and recalls the drunken marriage proposal from a patient. “I said no,” she says.. She looks over her shoulder at the ambulance driver. “This is the first time my brother has driven me.”</image:title>
