The magisterial final volume of Ian W. Toll’s Pacific War trilogy
September 2nd marks the 75th anniversary of the day the Japanese officially surrendered on the deck of the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay, ending World War II. Just over the railings, much of Tokyo was burned to the ground, as were many Japanese cities, the nation starving and completely beaten.
I first became fascinated by the war between the United States and Japan in the 1970s, when its history felt current: many veterans ...

The coronavirus has been a horror, bringing untold suffering to thousands and grief to their loved ones. I know four people who died; none that near to me, but none that distant, either. I’ve seen the pain the virus caused up close, and it is incalculable. The economic agony is profound, and likely to get worse before it gets better.
But New York City needed a pause. In it, we have been reminded of what is important in our city, on our streets, in our world.
Before coronavirus, we were hurtli...

I put on a mask the second week in March and haven’t left my house since without wearing one. When I pass a mask-less neighbor my blood boils a little bit, but I’ve yet had the courage to say anything, despite clever words of lecturing righteousness that bounce around inside my head.
So there I was the other day in a liquor store when my mask slipped off my nose. I wasn’t really paying attention. “Sir, would you please lift your mask up,” the clerk asked, loudly, so everyone could hear. I did...
