    How is it that some people can attract so many spy-thriller like hitmen?
    There really needs to be some kind of citizen registry, so people can pass along the word when these characters move into their neighborhoods.

    I know him and his wife. He’s a writer and conservative pundit and vocally anti-Trump. Also they are white, live in rural Tennessee, and adopted a black African baby about 8 years ago. His family has been threatened. He didn’t go into all that in this piece, but that’s the backstory.

    "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
    --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
    --Yeats

    “True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    --John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
