    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Trump
    Which president will the nation see tonight, today, five minutes from now? It's still not a question we're accustomed to asking. Or maybe the opposite is true: In his 14 months in office, President Donald Trump has toggled so frequently between reason and rant, between normalcy and lunacy, we're no longer surprised by his emotional outbursts.

    Latvia: language rights
    Lots of countries have two or more official languages: Canada (two), Belgium (three), Switzerland (four), South Africa (11), India (23) and so on. They all have trouble balancing the competing demands of the various language groups. But Latvia has only one official language, and it has a bigger problem than any of them.

    The price Assad should pay for gassing his people
    The hellish scenes have played out before in Syria: women and children dead or suffering in agony, the targeted victims of chemical weapons attacks. Now it has happened again. The villain apparently responsible is Syrian President Bashar Assad, who should be made to pay a heavy price.
