Stevenson’s army, June 8
– Does US govt know more about Russian military than about Ukraine’s? NYT says yes.
– Can the Marshall Plan be repeated? The author of a fine history of the MP says no and explains it wasn’t just pouring money into Europe.
– What’s in retired SAIS prof Michael Mandelbaum’s new book? Tom Friedman tells.
– What was Jared Kushner doing while President Trump plotted Jan 6? Peter Baker of NYT says he was scouting real estate in Florida. NOTE: Baker and his wife Susan Glasser, who writes for the New Yorker, have a book about Trump coming out in September. Often reporters who write such books get criticized for saving nuggets for their books. It seems that these authors are in effect releasing chapters early in their respective publications.
