There’s no conspiracy. The fact of the matter is it’s way too easy to access firearms in the United States and no one is safe. Not kids. Not teachers. Not parents. Not even a former President.

Today's publication puts me into double figures. Ten books in eleven years. I only intended to write one. It's become the healthiest of addictions.

We had a sneak preview of Tate’s new exhibition of women artists in Britain - it’s an amazing show. A triumph of curation, with many loans never before known or exhibited. Highly recommended! >
