Very sorry to see that Sir Alex Younger has died of cancer, aged just 62. Younger's wife 'was shocked that he had never told his mother he was a spy, and so he did. “Yes, darling, so was I,” his mother replied.' https://t.co/6sfVIqBqpF

Wonderful to see some of you at events for HOW TO RULE THE WORLD this week!!
Major thank yous to @andrewrsorkin@NPRKelly and @Indira_L for the great conversations.
This book has been a labor of love and is deeply personal. So grateful for the chance to share it with you!
Ted Turner in the late 1990s made the bold and brave step of opening a CNN bureau in Saddam Hussein's Baghdad. I was the correspondent. He believed that if Americans could see that other people were much like them, there would be fewer wars. He believed in journalism.
Jane Fonda pays tribute to her former husband, Ted Turner:
“He swept into my life, a gloriously handsome, deeply romantic, swashbuckling pirate and I’ve never been the same,” Fonda wrote on Instagram. “He needed me. No one had ever let me know they needed me, and this wasn’t your average human being that needed me, this was the creator of CNN, and Turner Classic Movies, who had won the America’s Cup as the world’s greatest sailor. He had a big life, a brilliant mind and a soaring sense of humor."
“He could also take care of me. That was new as well. To be needed and cared for simultaneously is transformative. Ted Turner helped me believe in myself. He gave me confidence. I think I did the same for him, but that’s what women are raised to do. Men like Ted aren’t supposed to express need and vulnerability. That was Ted’s greatest strength, I believe."

Mr. President, calling @SangerNYT a "lightweight analyst" is laughable. David earned his place as dean of the natsec press corps through decades of reporting. He taught so many of us how it's done.
Excellent Robert Mueller remembrance by @vermontgmg, who spent dozens of hours interviewing him.
Garrett notes that by the end, Mueller was operating by a code of honor and rules & norms that no longer existed in Washington... https://t.co/qQmkWQxtOY
