This issue of The Weekly Standard examined Hillary Clinton's new campaign memoir through Noemie Emery's critical essay "What Really Happened," which argued that Clinton's book deflected responsibility for her electoral defeat onto external factors rather than acknowledging her own role. The issue also featured analysis of Republican tax reform efforts, reflections on graceful political defeat drawing parallels to Adlai Stevenson, and discussions of surveillance law, entitlement spending, and workforce development programs.
