The United States must launch a comprehensive global digital strategy to prepare for the post-pandemic future. While the digital revolution has generated many benefits for society, this rapid change, accelerated by the pandemic, also has created economic disruption, devastating many in the middle and working classes and posing challenges to American democracy.

GENEVA - Swiss citizens narrowly approved a referendum that would prohibit women from wearing full facial coverings in public, a controversial issue that has divided the country during an exceptionally heated campaign. Campaigners, politicians and the media have dubbed it the “burka ban” even though the burka is not worn in Switzerland.  The burka, a full body covering with a mesh screen to see through that is worn in Afghanistan has come to symbolize the oppression of women. This is one of the messages figuring in a heated campaign leading up to Sunday’s vote.  Campaign posters of a menacing-looking woman wearing a black niqab with only her eyes exposed reading “Stop Radical Islam” and “Stop Extremism” are plastered all over Switzerland.

(CNN) Among journalists in Queen Victoria's England, Walter Bagehot was a central figure. Not only did he marry well -- to the daughter of the Economist's founder, whose death installed Bagehot in the editor's chair -- he also wrote a classic study of British government, "The English Constitution." Of the monarchy's role, Bagehot famously cautioned, "Above all things our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence it. When there is a select committee on the Queen, the charm of royalty will be gone. Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic." Whatever magic is left in the House of Windsor today, after "The Crown," may not survive Sunday night's airing of Oprah Winfrey's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
