AIPAC also knows this. That’s why none of their political ads discuss their actual issue at all and why they use vaguely named Super PACs so people don’t connect them with their own stated political mission and intent.

My Review: This final novella in the She Who Knows trilogy brings the story of Najeeba, the ‘she who knows’ of the series title, full circle, back to the place - if not the time or even the world - where she began in the opening book, also titled She Who Knows after Najeeba herself.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

New fossils in Qatar reveal a tiny sea cow hidden for 21 million years
Today the Arabian Gulf supports large numbers of dugongs, marine mammals related to manatees that feed on seagrass and leave trails in the sediment as they graze. Newly examined fossils from Qatar show that sea cows living more than 20 million years ago shaped their environments in much the same way. The findings, published December 10 in the journal PeerJ, come from a partnership between scientists at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and Qatar Museums. The team also identified a previously unknown species of ancient sea cow that was much smaller than modern dugongs.
