I write to ask your advice. Your country had its worst day in modern times on March 15, 2019 when a deranged right-wing terrorist attacked and murdered 51 people and wounded 40 more in the Christchurch mosques.
We had our worst day yesterday when a President attacked our democracy and encouraged a mob to invade the Capitol buildings. A woman shot by police died. Our democracy was wounded.
Before bothering you, I reached out to the smartest guy I know in Washington, DC. That s Don Graham, the former owner and publisher of the Washington Post. He and I were interns together at Newsweek magazine in 1973, but his journalism career obviously turned out more noteworthy than mine.
