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 April 26, 2021.
We suspect it’ll occur again.

(from the original by Michael Wines)
angry voters (echo)
Trump! (false claims)
Trump! (first to lose)

Trump! (lost battle)
Trump! (baseless)
theories of theft (contrary evidence)
Trump! (Trump)
America! ( )
