    Does China’s response to the coronavirus outbreak reflect lessons learned from SARS?


    Fear of a global pandemic is one of the factors driving China’s surprising decision to shut down airports in the hope of containing a dangerous virus. The Chinese government also appears to be influenced by the failure of its 2002-03 response to the outbreak of SARS, says School of Journalism director Jonathan Kaufman, former China bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal.

    A long-shot Republican presidential candidate sees a path to the party convention. He’s not dreaming.


    If the ongoing impeachment inquiry were to result in the early departure of President Donald Trump, how would his absence affect the 2020 election? “I would become the only guy standing,” said former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld.
