PREVAIL by Greg Olear

PREVAIL is a regular column about politics, history, national security, foreign affairs, organized crime, dirty money, global corruption, the fight for democracy—and, on Sundays, poetry and literature.

Beautifully crafted, insightful (or should I say inciteful) writing. Great with a latté on the couch on Sunday morning.
