David Frum | Newsweek | 11 November 2012 Republican election post-mortem. "Don’t tell me it was close. Don’t blame it on Hurricane Sandy or Gov. Chris Christie.

Langewiesche tags along as they chase rogue gold miners in French Guiana Comments David Remnick | New Yorker | 12 November 2012 Did you enjoy Obama's win? Good, because the celebration is over.

Comments Emily Bell | CJR | 11 November 2012 British public broadcaster loses two directors-general in three months. "Two issues have become toxically intertwined: A culture of child abuse in a number of British institutions, and the editorial independence of the BBC" Comments |
