The coming politicalization of the 25th Amendment
Sally Satel and Peter D. Kramer | The New York Times
Donald Trump's mental health has been under scrutiny since he began running for president. Now 28 Democratic members of Congress have signed on to a bill, introduced in April, that could lead to a formal evaluation of his fitness. The bill seeks to set in motion a part of the 25th Amendment that empowers Congress to

establish a body to assess the president's ability to govern. The role of psychiatry in this process would be problematic.

OsliaOMlitrathO At a nationally televised town hall last week, Paul Ryan was asked how he upholds the Catholic Church's teaching that we should help the poor. Ryan, a Catholic, answered that his emphasis on economic growth, upward mobility, and opportunity for all is how, as House speaker, he puts that teaching into practice. Not all Catholics liked this answer, but it is good to remind progressives that economic growth is the best antipoverty program the world has ever seen.

How to get out of the Iran nuclear deal
Although Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Barack Obama's Iran nuclear agreement, his administration has twice decided to remain in the deal. It so certified to Congress, most recently in July, as required by law. Before the second certification, Trump asked repeatedly for alternatives to acquiescing yet again to a policy he clearly disagreed with. But no such options were forthcoming, until now, with John R. Bolton presenting his straightforward plan to repeal the Iran deal.

What jazz can teach us about freedom
"They teach you there's a boundary line to

music. But man, there's no boundary line to art." Those are the words of Charlie Parker, the jazz saxophonist. You might be tempted to take his words literally when you hear his improvisational style. His freewheeling solos made up on the spot are pure freedom, right? Wrong. Jazz, like all serious art, is slavish in its adherence to boundaries and rules. And therein it achieves the nature of true freedom, in both art and life.
