Bill Moyers and Michael Winship | There's No Debate
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company
Excerpt: "Let's call the whole thing off. Not the election, although if we only had a magic reset button we could pretend this sorry spectacle never happened and start all over. No, we mean the presidential debates - which, if the present format and moderators remain as they are, threaten an effect on democracy more like Leopold and Loeb than Lincoln and Douglas."

If Real Change Starts at the Bottom, Why Is the Green Party Focused on the White House?
Sam Smith, YES! Magazine
Smith writes: "I'm taking it in the chops from some Green Party members for not supporting Jill Stein for president. It's nothing new for me. I've tried to discourage Green Party runs for president for a long time, feeling that, in most cases, building from the bottom up is the most useful thing a third party can do and - absent fusion politics or ranked-choice voting - there is little to come of a presidential run other than a lot distraction from more meaningful efforts."

Coal's Last Gamble: A Choking Industry Bets on One More Big Score
Melissa Cronin, Grist
Cronin writes: "Squeezing into a wobbly four-seater propeller plane is the only way to reach the tiny tribe of Tyonek, tucked deep in the roadless Alaskan wilderness. Gliding above the long mudflats and the serpentine curves of streams, I spot the fat white backs of beluga whales surfacing at the mouth of a river and an island covered by sunning sea lions."
