This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

The Mandelson controversy is awful, but consider the ongoing stalling and resistance to the issue of collusion in Northern Ireland before citing Mandelson as the worst scandal of recent decades. Pat Finucane was murdered on 12 February 1989, and still no public inquiry. www.rte.ie/news/ulster/...

Melania's film a big hit in Mexico tonight

Had a dander around Mexico City today. Plenty to see in this truly wonderful city. Included here are photos from the San Patricio Battalion Memorial, the Trotsky Museum, and the Templo Major.

It is publication today for Late Heaney I am told, although I imagine it’ll be a while before I see it between ice storms and the broad Atlantic. I thought I’d share a few thoughts about it, as it’s a different kind of book for me in form and style. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Remember 1847? Fascinating new short film on the devastation of An Gorta Mór, the Great Famine, along the Newtownards Peninsula, amid the utter indifference of landowner, Lord Londonderry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i6-...
