A) Zakaria from Foreign Policy. Apparently he has a new book coming out and this is a source piece. Spoiler alert: America still kicks ass, but we need to become more moderate and less partisan to handle the challenges ahead. Solutions in these articles are always lacking and simplistic. But his analysis of the world is excellent, as well as his reasons for maintaining an inclusive and immigrant-accepting society.

B) Haas, FP. Nonpolarity. Interesting. Again with the moderation. Again the interesting part is the commentary on the state of the world and likely dangers on the horizon. Less fun with solutions. Basically, America should not be America.

C) Kennedy with a book review. He of the great powers, which really blew the call on the US, but I guess nailed the USSR. Interesting review about three new "big history" books.
D) Achenbach from WP Outlook on what presidents do. Fun for students.
