Every so often, a story published on the front page of the New York Times is so well written, meaningful, and appropriate to the Bulletin‘s concerns that small snippets of it, properly chosen and arranged, produce something more than journalism, something that approaches … poetry. That blessed coincidence occurred on September 25, 2020.
We suspect it’ll occur again.

‘Perilous Turning Point’: Europe Fears Another Rush on Hospitals
(from the original by Mark Landler)

a spike,
another wave.

from spring:

Swamped . . .
Struggling . . .
The peril.
