"Im US-Vorwahlkampf stößt Donald Trump inzwischen selbst bei Neokonservativen auf Ablehnung. Grund dafür sind aber nicht seine rassistischen Äußerungen, so der Journalist James W. Carden, sondern seine Kritik an Militärinterventionen. So könnten überzeugte Neocons jetzt zu Hillary Clinton wechseln. Denn die Demokraten sind ohnehin seit langem orientierungslos, analysiert der Politikwissenschaftler Michael J. Brenner." (Autorenreferat)

For several decades, the Washington Post has functioned not only as a chronicler of national politics, but also as a social arbiter of the capital's elite. The two were fused in the paper's trendsetting 'Style' section, which was invented in 1969 by the legendary editor and scion of New England grandees Benjamin C. Bradlee. Two generations later, however, the Post is facing stiff competition for readers and attention in its own hometown from new rivals such as Politico, which was founded in 2007 by former Post staffers. But perhaps the most intriguing shift at the Post has occurred at the editorial page under the direction of Fred Hiatt. Throughout its history, the Post has been decisively shaped by different editorial-page editors. In writing this tribute, Hiatt, who joined the Post editorial board in 1996, was also expressing his own convictions. Hiatt's evident instinct to avoid the bromidic vapidity common in editorial pages is laudable. Adapted from the source document.
