[How Trump's Trip Looks to Iran](
The Takeaway
Did you miss this?
President Trump notably chose Saudi Arabia as the place to begin his first foreign trip, and in Israel he warned of the nuclear threat posed by Iran. According to Nahid Siamdoust, a lecturer at Yale's MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, Trump appears to be further isolating Iran, which could cast a chill over the period of warming established during the Obama era. She also points out that for all three countries—Saudi Arabia, Israel and the U.S.—the focus on Iran is a useful distraction from problems at home.

On the Media
Did you miss this?
Stories of President Trump spilling classified information and trying to influence James Comey have dominated the headlines—but not everywhere. Bob Garfield talks with Buzzfeed writer Charlie Warzel about how the Trump-Comey story unfolded (or didn’t) on Fox News, Breitbart, InfoWars and right-wing radio. Then, Brooke Gladstone discusses with Commentary’s Noah Rothman how traditional right-leaning publications like National Review and The Weekly Standard are grappling with having to cover stories that they say distract from the real goal: furthering a conservative agenda.

The Leonard Lopate Show
Tune in Wednesday at noon on 93.9 FM and AM 820
For many of us, our daily written communication boils down to hastily sent emails at work and brief, emoji-filled texts exchanged with friends and loved ones. Reuters editor-at-large Sir Harold Evans argues that in the digital era, we value speed and quantity of information over clarity and precision in our writing—which leads to confusion. Evans offers practical ways to avoid clichés and other writing pitfalls, and suggests basic editing techniques that can make for better communication. IMHO, you should tune in Wednesday.
