Vaccination has become a national matter, with your access to lifesaving shots dependent more on where you are than anything else, writes Walter Russell Mead in The Wall Street Journal [[link removed]].

Vladimir Putin’s cronies are once again abusing the UK’s libel law regime in an attempt to silence Putin critic Catherine Belton, writes Casey Michel in The New Republic [[link removed]]. The oligarchs aim to spend journalists and their outlets into submission—hiring the best lawyers and firms to make the cost of criticism ruinously high.
