For the most part, the issue is disappointing, with two long articles dedicated to bitching about the supposed dishonesty of more successful journalists, an uninspired article on the results of the most recent war in Gaza, and an article on Obama that put me to sleep on paragraph 4.
However, the issue was redeemed for me by a brilliant piece on the efforts to bring 20,000 Jewish refugee children to the US during the Holocaust. The article was written by Robert Slayton and reveals why the attempts to bring even such a tiny number of these refugees to the US failed. There was never any talk of spending even a tiny amount of state money on the refugees. Charitable organizations volunteered to take care of the Jewish kids. However, there were powerful organizations that opposed the plan and fought to prevent charities from being charitable to Jewish kids.
When the issue was debated in the Senate, the US region that showed the greatest hospitality to Jewish refugees was the Midwest. But even there, only 1/3 of senators voted in favor of the plan. After a protracted battle during which an enormous amount of anti-Semitic and vicious statements was made, the bill failed and the kids were not saved.
The issue ends with a great article arguing that Rand Paul is actually a total Liberal. It seems that Rand Paul stinks so badly that now Liberals and Conservatives are sticking him into each other’s arms and yelling, “No, you take him! No, he’s yours!”

\\ the attempts to bring even such a tiny number of these refugees to the US failed
Reminded me of an insane article on the American blog “Fabius Maximus.” The author claimed Israel was a failed project, and there was a need for a plan of evacuation of Israeli Jews to USA, when Israel goes down soon.
I don’t think USA would be ready to open its gates for several million Jews. Not then, and not today.
Such USA’s behavior is good to have in mind when people tell Israeli Jews “Give XYZ to Palestinians, you are the strong side with American support.”
Since you sometimes link to articles you hated in Link posts, I decided to link to the original post. I don’t recommend it, but if somebody wants to read.

НА ОБЕЛИСК В ЧЕСТЬ ЛОРДА ДЖОНА РАССЕЛА
(За душу Моисея боролись между собой архангел Михаил и Сатана)
И ныне спорят до остервененья
Нечистый и архангел Михаил.
Не хочет черт, дабы его владенья
Такой мертвец, как Рассел, осквернил.
