A new issue of The Current is available online, and we hit the highlights: Manhattanville. Way too modern. Domestic violence in Israel. Reading, books. Factory farming.

The new issue of The Current is out! A gander at some of the articles within: What is TFA teaching its members? Simon Schama on teaching, choosing topics, and the digital revolution. Gays in the GOP: past, present, and future. “How two of Israel’s leading diplomats emerged from a 1970s Jewish commune at Columbia University.” […]
