These days, authors and editors are usually responsible for producing their own index. This may sound like a simple task, but you may be surprised at how tricky and time consuming it can actually be.
As academics, we aren’t always aware of what an...

Meanwhile, Trump’s attempt to indict Rep. Adam Schiff for mortgage fraud has stalled for lack of, well, evidence. And former special counsel Jack Smith wants to testify publicly before Congress to correct “mischaracterizations” about his Trump probes — but only if DOJ promises...
