Note: Inclusion does not apply full agreement.

Donald Trump’s Ghostwriter Tells All, on the New Yorker—“But the discussion was soon hobbled by what Schwartz regards as one of Trump’s most essential characteristics: ‘He has no attention span.'”

Trump, Inspired by Nixon? in the New Yorker—“His campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, may have lessened the anticipatory moment by telling reporters at a Bloomberg News breakfast on Monday to take a look at Richard Nixon’s 1968 acceptance speech, suggesting that Trump found inspiration there.”

The MIT Physicists Who Infused Ghostbusters with Real Science, on Wired—“The textbooks in the office of Kristen Wiig’s character Erin Gilbert, a tenure-seeking physics professor at Columbia? Real. They’re the exact books Conrad had when she was at Columbia.”

The End of a Republican Party, on FiveThirtyEight—“The shock of 2016, though, is just how self-evident the inflection point at which the Republican Party finds itself is; Trump is a one-man crisis for the GOP.”

The Republican Party Blew It, on The New Republic—“The platform, in other words, is caught between two poles, both of which are toxic to much of the country.”

Spirit Weavers: Inside the World’s Chicist Cult, on Harper’s Bazaar—“They’re mostly in their 20s and 30s and look like members of an exceptionally chic cult: white caftans, chunky turquoise rings, indigo shawls, henna tattoos, messy braids, and, considering that we’re camping, an overwhelming amount of silk.”
