As optimists, we don’t pursue chaos for its own sake, and much prefer the boredom of competence to the drama of government by the scurrilous whims of a fool. We are ever mindful that at the end of the day we are all in this together and the truth can only be an ally. The future is ours to make, but the past always has to be reckoned with.

The collective reaction to Saturday night’s futile attack by a desperate lone gunman, which never made it past the security checkpoint designed to halt such plots, clarifies that American journalism no longer …
