Stevenson’s army, December 24
I have an affinity for revisionist writers, those who make a convincing case for something contrary to the conventional wisdom. On this day, therefore, I want to note that I lean now to the view that Clement Moore did not write the famous Christmas Eve poem. For your consideration, here are some articles making that case. From Canada and from NYT.
In the news, maybe redistricting hasn’t been a GOP blowout. It looks like both parties have opted for incumbent protection.
WSJ says China is helping the Saudis build missiles.
NYT says US may give Ukraine real-time intelligence if Russia attacks.
NYT reports difficulties turning Uyghur forced labor ban into a bureaucratic policy.
My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
