Eulogizing Ali
The great writers were drawn inevitably to the man who was The Greatest. You can take your pick now that Muhammad Ali has died at age 74. But you could start with Dave Kindred, the great sportswriter who covered Ali when they were both young in Louisville, Kentucky. Or you could go straight to David Remnick, who wrote one of the great Ali books. Or try Bob Lipsyte's soaring obit in The New York Times.

Bullying Trump
It's not just a “Mexican” judge (born and raised in Indiana) who would treat Trump unfairly - according to Trump, anyway. He says that a Muslim judge probably wouldn't either. Via The New York Times.
More violence
The violence at the Trump rally in San Jose was nothing new. And the way to bet is that, whatever else happens, the violence from both sides at Trump events is only going to get worse. Via Vox.
Not running
In case you were wondering - and probably you weren't - National Review's David French explains why he has decided not to run as a third-party candidate for president. Bill Kristol, for one, is crushed.
Voting rights
Voting rights are at a crossroads. The question is which direction they're going to take from here. Via The Atlantic.
A survivor's courage
