Former UN Ambassador Rick Barton
The current president’s approach to foreign intervention is “the less the better.” Former UN ambassador Rick Barton could not disagree more. In his new book Peace Works: America’s Unifying Role in a Turbulent World, he argues that the U.S. still has an advantage in the world and that we should be doing more to build peace.
Vigil for Pittsburgh synagogue shooting
After Saturday’s attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue, Seattle’s Jewish community is reacting. We spoke with Rabbi Daniel Weiner of Temple De Hirsch Sinai and Rivy Poupki Kletenik, head of the Seattle Hebrew Academy and Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh native.
Political Mischief
Journalists at this month’s Political Mischief event will be pontificating just a week before the midterm election. Curbed Seattle editor Sarah Anne Lloyd and Erica C. Barnett (the C is for crank) joined Bill Radke to discuss tricks, treats, and civility in politics (or lack thereof).
