Patricia J. Williams
Torn Apart
Errol Morris’s new documentary looks unflinchingly at the horrors of Donald Trump’s policy of separating families at the border.
Jed S. Rakoff
FDR’s Compliant Justices
The Supreme Court’s deference to FDR during World War II resulted in unjustifiable ethical breaches, but its new code of conduct has not resolved the question of when a justice should be disqualified from a case.
Anne Enright
Alice Munro’s Retreat
In her stories, Munro said she wanted “to record how women adapt to protect men.” Her daughter Andrea had to protect herself.
Tim Flannery
The Sense of an Endling
In the early nineteenth century, the idea of species extinction was an alien concept. That changed after an expedition to Iceland in search of the last of the great auks.
