I have great faith in the reporting of our former colleague, Tim Alberta, so if he reports that Paul Ryan doesn’t think he’ll be speaker past 2018, I believe him.

Despite several landmark legislative wins this year, and a better-than-expected relationship with President Donald Trump, Ryan has made it known to some of his closest confidants that this will be his final term as speaker. He consults a small crew of family, friends and staff for career advice, and is always cautious not to telegraph his political maneuvers.

Snow and Steel: The Battle of the Bulge, 1944-45

Peter Caddick-Adams

"[Caddick-Adams] illuminates the Battle of the Bulge until he has run out of facets. He layers context and connections with an inclusive style. Both the reader who knows nothing or little of this battle and the maven steeped in Bulgeiana will come away...educated and sated. Snow and Steel is a treasure."
