William Voegeli chronicles progressives' troubled attempts to build their way out of a woke tailspin. Christopher Caldwell gives a sobering analysis of Trump’s tariffs. And Daniel Mahoney provides a fresh survey of Winston Churchill’s early life and writings, alongside similar treatments of Mark Twain by Christopher Flannery, and Vladimir Golstein on Tchaikovsky.
