This issue of The Weekly Standard examined the causes of campus unrest, with Jonathan V. Last's cover feature exploring what he characterized as the "muscle" behind the student movements roiling American universities. The issue also covered political developments including Arizona's successful freshman governor, the decline of GOP establishment power in the face of Trump's rise, and various policy matters ranging from British military capability to Social Security reform and tax proposals. Books & Arts section offerings included reflections on Frank Sinatra, analysis of doing business in Putin's Russia, and a consideration of poet John Crowe Ransom's work.
