Illustration for an essay by British historian Dan Jones, who writes about the idea of an "executive monarchy" in America and draws interesting lessons from medieval history. He makes comparisons between King Richard II and Donald Trump, but assures us that America is still far from a monarchy.
Illustration for an op-ed on the NYT: "Our Bridges Are Old, Our Grid Is on the Fritz, and Soon America Will Be Obsolete"
"Most Americans don’t think about infrastructure — unless it fails to work. But when it fails, it’s not abstract — it’s personal.
