This October 2016 issue explored the erosion of political speech in France through Christopher Caldwell's cover feature on the French right's increasing constraints on acceptable discourse. The issue also examined the 2016 American political landscape, including Fred Barnes's assessment of Trump's debate performance and the broader strangeness of an election year that defied traditional political prognostication, while additional pieces covered topics ranging from Eisenhower's influence on Reagan to environmental business practices and regulatory approaches to vaping.
