He shaped geopolitical thinking for the latter half of the 20th century. He informed foreign policy as no other has.Schlesinger had been the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, director of the CIA, secretary of defense and the first secretary of energy.I had started covering Schlesinger as a journalist when he was at the AEC in 1971, and we formed a friendship that would last until his death.I cal...

Greg Abbott sent immigrants to so-called “sanctuary cities.” Last month, the Democratic mayors of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver and Houston asked the White House for help in managing the surge in illegal migrants that is stressing their social service capabilities. Sanctuary indeed.And now, concern over administration immigration policy has pushed even many left-leaning voters to ...
