The American Dream, glimpsed through skeptical British eyes
IN THE THIRD SEASON OF HBO’S THE GILDED AGE, A FROTHY costume drama set amid the robber barons and socialites of 1880s New York City, a servant suddenly comes into money. So much of it, in fact, that he’ll never have to work again. But instead of seizing his newfound freedom, the man keeps his windfall a secret and continues toiling below stairs. He simply can’t imagine leaving a household staff that has become his surrogate family.

The Risk Report
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN Poland delivered the latest anti-incumbent surprise in what has been a tough period for establishment candidates the world over. The right-wing populist Karol Nawrocki, a historian with no political experience, won a narrow victory in a June 1 runoff vote over a candidate aligned with the centrist Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his plans for closer European integration. Nawrocki will take office on Aug. 6. Tusk must now buckle up for a bumpy ride.

CHOOSE HOPE OVER FEAR
I am the leader of the second largest public school system in the country. I am also a proud American—and once, I was an undocumented immigrant. My journey to citizenship is an experience that deeply informs how I lead, how I teach, and how I serve the over 520,000 students who attend Los Angeles Unified schools. This country gave me the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to give back.

A bombshell moviestar mother, with bombshell secrets
WHEN MARISKA HARGITAY WAS 3, she and two of her brothers survived the car accident that killed their mother, bombshell movie star Jayne Mansfield. The kids were asleep in the back seat; the three adults in the front—Mansfield, her companion at the time, and the car’s driver—were killed instantly. Mariska’s two brothers, injured, were carried away from the scene. It wasn’t until later that one of them, 6-year-old Zoltan, realized Mariska wasn’t with them: she was pinned beneath the passenger seat, with a head injury. If Zoltan hadn’t spoken up, Mariska might not have been found until it was too late.

The truth and sanity of American history
I AM A HISTORY PROFESSOR AT ONE OF THE UNIVERSITIES under attack by the Trump Administration. I am also a flagwaving patriot with an abiding love of the U.S. Those two statements might seem surprising, or contradictory, if you do not know what has happened to the teaching and writing of American history in the past 50 years. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” It asserts that American historians have rewritten American history and replaced “objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”

The Founders saw the dangers of concentrated wealth
AS THE U.S. APPROACHES ITS 250th year, the richest 10% hold over 67% of household wealth and increasingly seem entitled to power and privilege. This would horrify the Founders, who believed great wealth would corrupt their republic. Their beliefs were shaped by sources including Roman historians who blamed the empire's decline on such inequality; English “radical Whigs” who decried the corruption of British politics; and Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke who argued that individuals should not hoard wealth.
