Brexit was driven by economic woes and misplaced fears, but the United Kingdom can still contain the damage and heal itself. Abroad, the government must push for continued membership in the single market; at home, it must fix inequality and deprivation.

Not so long ago, it was implausible that a major nuclear power -- the United States, Russia, or China -- would consider using atomic weapons in any imaginable conflict scenario.Ã No longer.Ã Worse yet, this is likely to be our reality for years to come, which means that the next president will face a world in which a nuclear decision-making point might arrive far sooner than anyone would have thought possible just a year or two ago -- with potentially catastrophic consequences for us all.

But it seems uncontroversial to say that neither appears to be a Washington or a Lincoln, and that the elective presidency is coming under increasingly critical examination.
