If it’s their destiny, do they really control it? Some say yes. Many say no. Most say, “We know what they mean, so what’s the problem?”

I doubt Putin, Zelenskyy, Xi, Kim, the UN, NATO, starving people everywhere and people fleeing brutal regimes are all that impressed.

Who would have thought the American League baseball playoffs would cause so much consternation for writers and editors?
