This October 2017 issue featured Peter J. Boyer's examination of America's missile defense capabilities amid growing tensions with North Korea, complemented by Eric Edelman and Robert Joseph's historical analysis of failed U.S. policy toward the regime. The magazine also covered Trump's tax reform efforts, campus due process protections, the Kurdish independence movement, Germany's rightward political shift under immigration pressure, and the revelation of Mark Felt's motivations as Watergate's "Deep Throat." Throughout the issue, the editors praised Trump's approach to sanctions while examining the administration's broader foreign policy challenges.
