The conceptual Bulgarian-born artist Christo died over five years ago. It’s a shame, because the Democratic Party and the American left need him again. Christo, for those of you who aren’t into his “art,” was into wrapping stuff up. Not just like Christmas presents, although his work could be dismissed as such. No, he liked covering up stuff like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the Reichstag building in Berlin, and the gates in Central Park, New York. His work, ladies and gentlemen: Christo and his collaborator, Jeanne-Claude, may have been hacks of the highest order, but when it comes...

“I believe in being transparent here. If I were editing The New York Times, I don't think I’d put it in the paper,” says @MarkHalperin . But people are telling me that the family of Ella Cook, the Alabama young woman who was a sophomore, has been told that she was the target of what happened at Brown. I have no idea whether that’s true. There’s other theories about why the person did what they did. And since we don’t know who the assailant is, it’s going to be harder to say. But if it’s true that she was targeted,...
