Russia Rebuked, Trump Triumphant, and I'm Your Daisy?

What happened to Daisy Buchanan after the events of The Great Gatsby? F. Scott Fitzgerald never wrote more about this central character, but my friend Libby Sternberg has in her new novel Daisy. We discuss Fitzgerald's brilliance, why Sternberg wanted to write about this seminal character, and even debate about The Great American Novel -- a bit, anyway. Plus, I review the developments in the Russo-Ukraine war, Vladimir Putin's humiliation in India and Germany, and the prospects for a negotiated end to the war. I do a quick review of Donald Trump's tactical victory in court over the Mar-a-Lago raid, and the sheer avalanche of hypocrisy in Martha's Vineyard.
