Sunstein on what AI cannot do, now or ever; James P. Rubin on the Democrats and the fight for American foreign policy; Michael Walzer on unlikely meetings with uncommonly interesting people; Paul Reitter on Marx's adventures in mimesis; Paul North on the inner life of things made and traded; Anna Ballan on womanly ecstasy according to Charlotte Brontë; Robert Rubsam on Yasunari Kawabata's art of distance; Didi Tal on "I Am an American Day"; Yahia Lababidi on the startling intensity of Blaise Pascal; Fateme Karimkhan in Tehran under fire; Celeste Marcus on the revolutionary synagogue; and Leon Wieseltier on the shopkeeper who gave him the gift of doubt.

As well as poetry from John Berryman and Myles Zavelo.
