out of runway: a three-book review
"Hey man, we’re out of runway" by Christian Lorentzen offers a sharp take on three books about Biden administration. Related to my current read, Joshua Cohen's The Netanyahus, earlier in the week I'd stumbled upon a Lorentzen review of Cohen's Witz.

The Pep Boys
"It took some time, and some considerable cajoling on my part, but thanks to a few generous donors from the greater Philadelphia area (owners of a prominent wig-making factory and three local Jewish men in the automotive industry collectively known as "The Pep Boys"), I was able to offer Ben a one-year fellowship which he accepted."
~~ from The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen
